REGISTRATION is now open for the upcoming Fun Run 2016 organised by the Brunei Council on Social Welfare (MKM) set to take place on October 23 at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Berakas.
The run will be divided into three categories: 5km (men only), 2.5km (female only), and 2.5km (costume run).
Prizes will be awarded to the fastest runners in all three categories.
Organisers encourage runners to dress in their national or ethnic attire for the 2.5km Costume Run, and prizes will also be awarded for ‘Best Costume.’
Participants can wear traditional outfits based on the seven Brunei ethnic groups, namely Brunei Malay, Tutong, Kedayan, Belait, Murut, Dusun and Bisaya to promote the local culture in the category.

Haji Johan bin Haji Tuah, Chairman of the Fun Run 2016, in an interview with the media said that the charity run aims to raise funds for underprivileged families, particularly unemployed single mothers who have children to support, while promoting a healthier lifestyle.
He hopes that proceeds from the charity run will also be used to assist senior citizens in acquiring basic needs such as house repairs, wheelchairs, ripple mattresses and many others.
Registration forms are now available at the MKM mobile booth at the ground floor atrium of the Times Square Shopping Centre, the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium and the MKM office located at Melabau Complex, Serusop.
