As a result, the sixth edition of the run, initially scheduled at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) Sports Complex in USJ5 on July 1, has been postponed to August 26.
According to organising chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng, the community-based run has been adopted as a Selangor state event in conjunction with the nation’s 50th Merdeka celebrations.
More than 3,500 participants took part in the event last year.
“Over the years, this has been an annual family orientated programme dedicated to the community living near the Subang Jaya neighbourhood. But, other communities from all over Selangor will also be joining us this year. We are expecting to attract about 5,000 participants,” said Lee.
The event is jointly organised by The Star, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) and the Selangor Amateur Athletics Association (SAAA).
The Run has 12 categories – 10km men’s and women’s open (18 years and above), 7km men’s junior veteran (40 years to below 50 years) and men’s senior veteran (50 years and above), women’s veteran (35 years and above), boys’ and girls’ (13 years to below 18 years), men’s and women’s special (wheelchair participants only), 5km men’s and wo-men’s special (non-wheelchair participants only) and a 3km Fun Run (adults and children).
Entry fee is RM10 for each participant (including the Fun Run).
Entry fee for school children is RM5 for each participant.
It is free for participants in the men’s and women’s special category as well as children below six years for the Fun Run category.
Registration closes on Aug 13.
Entry forms are available at the MPSJ in Subang Jaya and The Star in Petaling Jaya or can be downloaded from thestar.com.my/subangjaya/sjrun_form.pdf and www.mpsj.gov.my/ main.php.
