What is the 24h Run?

Get ready for one of the most exciting events of the school year, the 24-Hour Run returns on September 12-13, 2025, and it’s more than just a run. It’s 24 hours of movement, music, community spirit, and a powerful purpose: supporting our Scholarship Fund.

Hosted on the Moshi Campus, this overnight event brings the whole school together in teams of students from different houses and age groups. Your team keeps moving by walking, jogging, skipping, dancing, or running; around the track for 24 hours straight, with at least one team member on the move at all times.

What to Expect:

• Non-stop fun for 24 hours

• Live music and tasty food

• Teams with creative themes and costumes

• A lively campout atmosphere (yes, you can pitch a tent!)

• Games, decorations, and surprises

Why We Run:
