Inclusion
The Run Beyond Project is about overcoming exclusion and encouraging participation. We aim to promote diversity and acceptance within the running community and beyond. 

Valuing inclusion means we promote numerous other values which are inextricably linked to this, such as participation, equality, respect for diversity, courage and community.

Valuing inclusion means working with numerous stakeholders to develop more inclusive communities.

• With students to encourage their participation and sense of belonging within the running community and their right to belong to a broader range of communities. 
• With teachers to develop their capacities to promote the inclusion of their students.
• With members of the running community, including race directors, sponsors, and event participants to promote acceptance and encouragement of young people from diverse backgrounds at events.

Empowerment

The Run Beyond Project promotes empowerment by encouraging young people to set goals and take responsibility for making decisions about their future. We encourage and reward effort and achievement. We encourage our participants to grow and develop and to support and encourage each others’ growth and development.

Belief

The Run Beyond Project believes in the potential of our participants and we strive so that they may believe in themselves. 

We promote this by providing a framework through which they can set and work towards the achievement of challenging but achievable goals. Furthermore, we instill in students a belief in themselves to do this independently beyond the completion of the program, beyond the context of running.
