KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) -- The Rotary Club of HartaMas, in collaboration with Kita Pelari Malaysia and the KLCC Runners Group, will organise two major community health and advocacy events in September and October to promote peace, unity and public health awareness.
It said in a statement that the Peace Run & Walk 2025, to be held on Sept 28 at Dataran DBKL, is being organised in conjunction with International Peace Month, aimed at promoting unity, compassion, and a peaceful future through community engagement.
This will be followed by the End Polio Run & Walk 2025 on Oct 26 at the same venue, in observance of International Polio Month, aimed at raising awareness on polio and in support of global eradication efforts.
“Globally, Rotary has championed the End Polio Now campaign since 1985, playing a leading role in the fight to eliminate polio worldwide.
“Both events aim to bring together Malaysians from all walks of life under the shared themes of peacebuilding and public health. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the End Polio Now campaign and the Rotary Club of HartaMas’s Children’s Cancer Programme -- a life-changing initiative that provides vital support to children battling cancer,” the statement said.
In conjunction with Rotary Membership Month in August, the events also aim to increase public awareness of Rotary’s mission and encourage more Malaysians to participate in meaningful community service.
The Rotary Club of HartaMas president Harrison Jub said these events go beyond fitness, as they are aimed at mobilising Malaysians to create a meaningful impact.
“When we run for peace, health and hope, we don’t just cover distances -- we close the gap between despair and healing. Together with our partners Kita Pelari Malaysia and KLCC Runners Group, we are honoured to move with purpose,” he said.
The events are open to runners, walkers, families, corporate teams as well as youth groups, with a variety of community-focused activities planned on-site.
Participants will receive event kits comprising race T-shirts, finisher medals and goodie bags. Additional activities will include fitness sessions, community booths, and engagement opportunities for all ages.
Registration will be available soon via RaceXAsia and Checkpoint Spot. Corporate sponsorship packages and media partnerships are welcome.
