J&T Express Malaysia Connects 5,000 Runners At IJM Rimbayu Fun Run

SHAH ALAM, April 13 (Bernama) -- J&T Express Malaysia partnered with IJM Rimbayu in organising the ‘Run with Me 2026’ event on Saturday (April 11), which saw 5,000 participants running together to promote health and celebrate fitness at The Arc, Rimbayu.

J&T Express Malaysia, in a statement, said the event featured a symbolic last-mile delivery challenge, in which participants carried J&T parcels while running to the finish line, reflecting the effort and dedication of delivery riders and the satisfaction behind each successful parcel delivery.

J&T Express Malaysia Public Affairs and Branding Manager Steve Yap said the initiative helped the public better understand the logistics journey behind each delivery.

“Logistics is part of everyday life, yet many only see it at the point of delivery. Through this fun run, we invited the community to experience the dedication behind every parcel, while giving a glimpse of our future technology-driven sorting centre.

“After returning the parcels, participants were invited to take part in various booth activities, including an exclusive lucky draw session featuring prizes worth a total of RM60,000. We hope this initiative fosters community interaction and demonstrates how innovation in logistics can bring people closer together,” he said at the event.

The statement said J&T Express Malaysia’s participation in the IJM Rimbayu ‘Run With Me 2026’ showcases how the brand is moving beyond deliveries to creating meaningful connections and powering the future of logistics in Malaysia.

The event also highlighted Malaysia’s largest self-built parcel sorting centre, J&T EXPRESS @ THE HUB, which will be completed in Q3 2027, located near the event site.

Developed on a fully owned 30-acre site with over RM300 million in investment, the facility will officially break ground on April 15, 2026, marking a key milestone in J&T Express Malaysia’s infrastructure expansion and local workforce development.

Upon completion, the facility is expected to create more than 2,000 job opportunities.

“Strategically designed to respond to the projected growth of the courier industry, the sorting centre will strengthen processing capabilities and improve operational efficiency, ensuring smoother, more reliable delivery experiences for customers, online sellers, and local businesses,” the statement said.
