The Yellow Ribbon Prison Run is an annual flagship event of the Yellow Ribbon Project. With the theme "A Nation Beyond Second Chances", it aims to unite communities across Singapore to foster an inclusive society where inmates and ex-offenders take ownership for their change and are provided with opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration with the society.

Community support is vital in the reintegration journey of an ex-offender and families impacted by incarceration. Small acts of kindness done by individuals, employers, and organisations can result in large ripple effects felt across communities and generations. This is especially true for families impacted by intergenerational offending, where more than one family member has been incarcerated.

As the national symbol of hope and second chances, the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run demonstrates that ex-offenders are not mere recipients of the second chances given by the community, but also active contributors who pay forward the kindness and support they have received. Don't miss the variety of entertaining performances, informative and interactive booths that showcase the diverse talents, skills and contributions made by inmates and ex-offenders at our end-point carnival this year.

In addition to spreading the message of hope and fostering a more inclusive society, we also hope to build a more environmentally sustainable future. This year, the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run's iconic run shirt and drawstring bag will be made from sustainable eco-friendly materials. This commitment to sustainability reflects our dedication to create a positive impact on the environment while promoting the values of hope and inclusivity.

Every distance covered by public participants who attend our event on 1 September 2024 is a demonstration of solidarity, offering support beyond second chances and making a meaningful difference in the lives of our ex-offenders and their families.

The inaugural Kids Dash category is a 700m dash within the Changi Prison Complex, which seeks to engage and inspire our younger generation in the Yellow Ribbon Project. By providing children aged between 6 and 12 with the opportunity to participate, we hope to instill in them an early understanding of the Yellow Ribbon Project's mission and the importance of second chances. Through this new category, we aim to cultivate a sense of social responsibility and inclusivity in our future leaders, creating a positive impact that extends beyond the event itself.
