Run to End AIDS

World AIDS Day is held on the 1^st December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. HIV/AIDS remains one of the world’s most significant public health challenges, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Around 88,000 new HIV infections and 69,000 AIDS related deaths have been recorded and only 56% adults are on antiretroviral treatment. Although the epidemic is slowing across the globe, nearly half of people who test positive find out very late.

This year PIMS is hosting two race categories of 5KM and 10KM, open for all to participate and pledge their support for the great cause.
