Run For National Unity 2018

Run for National Unity was back this year but unlike previous years where it was held on Malaysia Day, this year's run was held on Saturday, Oct 20 2018 in Taman Botani, Kuala Lumpur.

Organized by HELP University and Redberry Sdn Bhd, in conjunction with Malaysia Day, the run was flagged off by YB Senator P. Waythamoorthy, the Minister of National Unity and Social Well-Being and the main sponsors for the Run for National Unity 2018 are RHB Insurance and OCBC Bank (Malaysia).

The theme for the Run is not only to promote national unity and harmony but also to raise funds to provide scholarships for deserving students.

Due to my ankle injury, I wasn't able to join the run although I had registered to run in the 10K category but Hubby and I decided to still turn up to show our support by taking fellow participants' photos.

There were 13 categories in this year’s Run - the 10km Men/Women Open International, the 10km Malaysian Open Men/Women, including a 10km Men/Women Veteran category and a category both for secondary schools, primary schools, Family Team, Corporate Team and Special/OKU team.

It was great to see children running with their parents and I do love seeing the kiddos being actively participating in races (fun runs) rather than just being a spectator when their parents (either one or both) join races. Running. Walking. Moving. Being active. Enjoying the outdoors.

Photos we took during the run can be viewed at our Facebook page Cik Arnab & En Kura-Kura. Do LIKE and FOLLOW us for more race photos and updates.
