MORE than 1,000 participants are expected to take part in the upcoming Charity Run/Walk for Children’s Cancer 2025, scheduled for May 18 at Beach Street, George Town.
Organised to raise awareness about childhood cancer, the 5km event will run from 7am to 12.30pm in the heart of George Town.
Speaking to Buletin Mutiara, Stay Fit Is Sunnah chairman Ahmad Faisal Mohd Lazim said the event encourages both running and walking to accommodate all fitness levels.
“The key aspect of this event is inclusivity. We understand that not everyone may be able to run the entire route, so we encourage participants to walk or run at their own pace.
“We hope families and friends will join in large numbers. Additionally, there will be a free health screening to promote a healthy lifestyle,” he said.
Faisal expects over 1,000 attendees, noting that the event also provides an opportunity for participants to explore George Town.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow is expected to attend, along with other distinguished guests.
The registration details are as follows:
Early bird registration (until March 15): RM35 (short-sleeve t-shirt), RM37 (long-sleeve t-shirt), Regular registration (until April 15): RM40 (short-sleeve t-shirt), RM42 (long-sleeve t-shirt).
