Yellow Ribbon Prison Run 2011 will be a fun and memorable run, to encourage the community to play a part to the Yellow Ribbon message and participate in the run to show their support for the ex-offenders. The theme, Beyond the Run, is about giving ex-offenders a second chance to start afresh. It conveys the message that what matters most is not about the fall, but how to pick himself/ herself up after the fall.
