KUCHING (Sept 17): The Padawan Chapter of Junior Chamber International (JCI) hosted the Kuching zone of the ‘Golden 50 Run’, flagged off at the Kuching South City Council (MBKS) on Malaysia Day.
Divided into 2km and 5km, the fun run was held simultaneously across five zones in Sarawak in celebration of JCI Malaysia’s 50th anniversary.
Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap performed the flag-off and later joined the participants in the run.
Earlier in his brief remarks, Yap commended JCI Padawan Chapter for its dedication in organising the Kuching leg of the event.
“This run is more than a race, as it symbolises the core values of endurance, discipline, and teamwork.
“It also embodies the values essential in our journey toward Sarawak’s vision of becoming a developed, prosperous, and inclusive state by 2030.
“Every step taken today represents the commitment of all ‘Anak Sarawak’ (Children of Sarawak) in contributing to nation-building,” he said.
Apart from the support rendered by the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneurs Development Sarawak, the event was also made possible through the sponsorships from Lavince Gold & Jewellery and Klinik Uptown.
Moreover, the organiser engaged Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) as its official charity partner.
