Running for Local Charities: Registration for CMS Tribal Run 3.0 is now open

Kuching (Sarawak), Friday, 30 June 2017 – It’s that time of the year again when Kuchingnites dust off their running shoes and prepare for one of Sarawak’s biggest organised run – the CMS Tribal Run 3.0. Now in its third year, and sporting the tagline of ‘Run for a Good Cause’, the CMS (Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad) organised event proudly donates 100% of the entry fees to local charities.

Comprising a 5km Fun Run and a 10km Competitive Run, participants are encouraged to sign up fast to secure their spot before the registration closes on Sunday, 23 July 2017 or when registration reaches 2,500 participants. We will also be giving out a limited number of free slots to children with special needs to participate.

The CMS Tribal Run 3.0 will take place on Sunday, 27 August 2017 at MBKS and flag-off for both the 10km and 5km runs is at 6.30am and 6.45am respectively.

Date                            :        27 August 2017 (Sunday)

Venue                         :        MBKS Council Building, Kuching (start & finish)

Categories / Flag off    :     10km Competitive Race (6.30am), 5km Fun Run (6.45am)

Closing Date               :      23 July 2017 (Sunday)

Interested individuals can either register via RevRun (Brooks) at the Green Heights Mall, Kuching or online at tribalrun.eventtech.com.my.

Prizes will be given to the top 10 male and female finishers in the 10km category, best dressed male and female participants in tribal wear (for both the 5km and 10km categories), along with a host of lucky draws.

The design is of this year’s finisher’s medal is quintessentially Sarawakian in the form of a Bunga Terung (Eggplant Flower) which is the first tattoo a Borneo male receives. The spiral at its centre known as Tali Nyawa – means the rope of life and it symbolises the beginning of a new life, reminiscent of the collective efforts of the participants to help local causes. The finisher’s medal is unique as it can be used as a key chain.

Last year’s CMS Tribal Run attracted 2,600 participants, with RM120,000.00 raised for 10 local charities, making it one of CMS’ most important and impactful community initiatives. The run is part of CMS’ company-wide ‘Doing Good’ programme, whereby employees volunteer their time to support community efforts, aimed to enhance and improve the quality of life in the communities in which we live and work.

In addition to CMS being the annual event organiser, this year’s run is supported by RevRun Co, with official drink sponsors, REVIVE, INDOCAFE and VICO. Meanwhile, MBKS Council Building, Kuching is hosting the run venue.

Ahead of his participation in the 5km run, Group Managing Director of CMS, Dato’ Richard Curtis, said: “When the run was first organised in 2010 – the CMS Health Run as it was called then – we began to promote a healthier lifestyle amongst CMS employees and their families. The CMS Tribal Run has since become “a must” run event, showcasing community spirit and a common endeavour to help the people in our society who need it most. Far more than raising money for good causes, the CMS Tribal Run 3.0 is about the very best of Sarawak and its diversity – and the chance to burn off a few calories along the way!”
