The 5th Humanistik Charity Run-27/07/2008

Nanyang Siang Pau HQ
Petaling Jaya

The 5th Humanistik Charity Run was officiated by Datuk Ong Tee Keat,our Transport Minister this morning.The run was jointly organised by Yayasan Humanistik,Dharma Buddhist Uni and Nanyang Siang Pau.

The aim of this 6.5km charity run is to collect funds for the needy students so that they will be provided with better educational opportunity.

There were 7 categories in this run.There were not many serious runners probably because the participants need to collect at least rm100.00 donation to enable he/she taking part in this run.Besides that there was no medals and cash rewards offered as all contributions proceed to the charity.But the turn out was good,the attendance hit hundreds.Many elderly,students and young children turn up to support the run.

The run was flagged off at 8.00 am sharp.Luckily the weather was nice and the men open category went off first followed by the rest.Except for some minor hiccups especially short of road marshals at certain junctions,the overall run was beautifully organised.

There was a light vegetarian breakfast for everyone after the run before the prize giving ceremony.Datuk Ong gave away the 'trophies' to the winners.



Wong Soon Pin and Lim Pei Yen,both finished third in their respective category.
