With the aim of promoting social inclusion and a healthy lifestyle among those with intellectual disabilities, “iRun” has become a signature event in the rehabilitation service sector.

With the avid support and cheerful participation of the participants, the attempt was successfully accomplished and recognized by the Guinness World Records as the “Longest Hug Relay” in the world.
