📢 Hello, this is Refugee News from MAP
MIND RUN Festival is not just about running—it is a healing festival that takes care of both body and mind, while giving strength to one another.
Instead of competing for records, participants can enjoy running together and explore various experiential booths, sharing the importance of mental health.
Even if you don’t run, you can still enjoy the festival by cheering us or visiting the booths.
First 30 applicants only! Apply quickly 🙂 https://forms.gle/nHhDfnttipu61JtH9

Who is MHARK?
MHARK (Mental Health Alliance for Refugees in Korea) works with doctors and NGOs to support refugees’ mental health.
MHARK will cover the entry or participation fee for refugees to join running.
Entry fee support is limited to 30 people only, so please apply ASAP.
We hope your steps will become a message of hope and solidarity, spreading across our society.
