KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) -- A lucky draw offering a motorcycle as the grand prize awaits participants of the Merdeka 6.8KM Fun Run & Walk, to be held at Dataran Tanjung Emas, Muar, Johor, on July 27.
The event, held in conjunction with the launch of National Month and the Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 Campaign, aims to attract over 1,000 participants from all walks of life and is open to the public free of charge.
Information Department (JaPen) director-general Julina Johan said the first 1,000 individuals who registered would be given exclusive T-shirts, while the first 1,000 participants to complete the 6.8-kilometre run would receive medals and qualify for the lucky draw.
Julina said the programme was held in line with the aspirations of the Malaysia Sihat agenda and aimed to offer a unique experience by incorporating elements of nationalism along the running route.
“All participants will be given the Jalur Gemilang, and patriotic songs will be played throughout the 6.8-kilometre run. We have a brass band from Sekolah Tinggi Muar and Pentarama from JaPen,” she told Bernama.
She said the event was aimed not only at encouraging a healthy lifestyle but also at serving as a platform to strengthen the spirit of unity among people of all races.
“I hope this programme will strengthen the spirit of unity and togetherness. Everyone is welcome to participate with the shared spirit of upholding the Jalur Gemilang and fostering patriotism and love for Malaysia,” she said.
The Launch Ceremony of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 Campaign, to be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, will feature a variety of exciting programmes, including the Kita MADANI Carnival from July 25 to 27, which brings government services directly to the people.
In addition to the Kembara Merdeka Jalur Gemilang Convoy, various Family- and community-oriented activities such as colouring contests and cultural performances will be held.
