KUCHING: The fifth edition of tHe Spring’s Live Active Run this year will be held on June 5 and promises to be bigger with more fun activities.
tHe Spring’s Leasing and Marketing director Andy Song told a press conference yesterday that this year’s run will introduce three new categories to meet the overwhelming demands from the public.
“The Run categories are the 21km Veteran, 10km Veteran and 5km Corporate Run, on top of the existing 21km Open, 10km Open, 5km Fun Run and 1km Kids Dash,” he said.
“The event has registered 1,292 runners so far,” he added.
The main objective of the run is to promote community involvement and participation especially through fitness and sports.
“Last year, the run attracted an overwhelming 4,612 participants. This year, we are targeting to register 5,000 participants,” he said.
“Also, 70 per cent of the proceeds raised from the run will go to four charitable bodies including the Sarawak Autistic Association and Special Olympics Sarawak (Kuching Chapter),” he added.
This year’s fun run will also feature Linora Low who is a bubbly Mix Fm radio announcer, an athlete and a fitness icon.
“This will be the first time in Kuching for an event to bring in real personality to promote fitness to the people of Sarawak,” he elaborated.
In addition, runners in all categories will get a finisher medal and special shirt each for the 21km top 100 finishers and 21km Veteran top 50 finishers.
Participants are advised to register early in order to receive their event running T-shirt sizes.
