WEDNESDAY, 17 AUGUST -  In conjunction with the National Day celebration, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) is organising a run called ‘Larian Merdeka 10km Ke Puncak UMS’ on 27 August 2016.

This event is organised by ‘Jawatankuasa Kebajikan, Rekreasi dan Libatsama Masyarakat’ (KARIB) under the Centre for the Promotion of Knowledge and Language Learning (PPIB) UMS.

According to a statement issued by KARIB, this run aims to strengthen the spirit of patriotism not only among members of UMS but also the public who are interested to participate in this event.

The programme is also seen to be in line with UMS in interacting with the public, and to lead a healthier lifestyle through this recreational activity.

The statement also added that the run is divided into two categories; men’s and women’s and the fees are RM 30.00 for university and secondary school students, RM 50.00 for adults (open to all).

A fee of RM60.00 is imposed on walk-in registration. The fees are inclusive of the event T-shirt and a running-kit.

Runners who complete the 10km route will receive a certificate of participation.

The three fastest runners for the men’s and women’s category will win a trophy and a certificate of participation, and the first 25 finishers in each category will receive a medal and a certificate of participation.
