Event Details

 

#RUNwithOLYMPIANS #RUNforOLYMPISM is a team-based running event co-organized by the Malaysia Olympians Association (MOA) and Malaysian Olympism in Action Society (MOiAS). The run aims to encourage all Malaysians regardless of the socioeconomic background, gender, race, ethnicity, age groups, etc. to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Through this event, we would like to educate the public about the spirit of Olympism and how we can build better Malaysian society through sport. This year, our theme is "Be active and leave no one behind." where we encourage all Malaysians regardless of socioeconomic background, gender, race, ethnicity, age groups etc. to live an active and healthy lifestyle.

 

 

For this edition, we are taking an important step to promote inclusivity and to support a more sustainable and healthy future for Malaysians by integrating Sustainable Development Goals into our event. Read more about the SDGs here (https://sdgs.un.org/goals).

 

 

By lacing up our running shoes and participating in our virtual run, we will not only improve our own well-being but also contribute to a better and more sustainable world, one stride at a time.
