MIRI: The Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society will hold a soft launching for its ‘Colour Rush Run’ on Sunday (June 24) at Permaisuri Imperial City Mall at 2pm.

President Jocelyn Hee said simultaneous launches will also be held at Vivacity Megamall, Kuching, and Star Mega Mall, Sibu.

“Coming to the sixth year, we are anticipating something different from previous years as we would like to promote awareness of childhood cancer to younger people, hoping that they could understand more and help children with cancer,” she said yesterday.

During the soft launches, there will be a special ‘Buy 5, get 1 free promo’ for the first 100 registrations at each venue.

“The promotion is for every five persons registering for the run, the sixth person in the same group, can enjoy free registration. This will only happen at the soft launch at all venues,” said Hee.

Several cosplayers will also perform at the soft launching here.

“Cosplaying is now a trend among young people. We hope this show combined with our charity event would get more youngsters to join us for fun and a noble cause,” she said.

The ‘Colour Rush Run’ will take place at Saradise, Kuching on Sept 17, Marina Central Park here on Sept 23, and Sibu Town Square on Sept 30.

The 5km run is open to all and runners will receive a bib number and two packets of coloured powder.

“We are delighted to mention that aside from our tradition of coloured powder, which participants look forward to, we have decided to design a finisher’s medal that comes in an exquisite shape of a gold ribbon. The gold ribbon is an international symbol for childhood cancer awareness.

“As for the T-shirt, we had decided not to include it in the running package to cut down the registration fee. Participants could wear their own running attire and by using our bib-number, they are still eligible to receive our finisher’s medal,” Hee explained.

Early bird registration until July 22 is RM38 each, after which it is RM45 until Sept 12.
