The club provides running guides to intellectually and visually challenged members in the weekly sessions. Running Hour became a Co-operative on May 16, 2014.

Outdoor Sports Kakis (OSK) is a community based initiative that connects individuals with additional support needs with volunteers from different walks of life through nature and sports based experiences. It is founded with the aim of promoting inclusivity and a healthy lifestyle. At OSK, participants with additional support needs are the “Kakis” while the volunteers are the “Kawans”. These names are inspired by terms in the Malay language, where Kaki refers to a buddy and Kawan refers to friends. Hence buddies and friends.
