Running isn’t just about fitness; it’s about taking meaningful steps together. This September and October, Kuala Lumpur turns into a stage for runners and walkers with a purpose.

The Rotary Club of Hartamas, teamed up with Kita Pelari Malaysia and KLCC Runners Group, invites everyone to join the Peace Run & Walk 2025 and the End Polio Run & Walk 2025, both set at Dataran DBKL.

The Peace Run & Walk 2025 will take place on 28 September, aligning with International Peace Month. This event is expected to draw 5,000 participants united under themes of compassion, dialogue, and community.

A month later, on 26 October, the End Polio Run & Walk 2025 continues Rotary’s global effort to eliminate polio. The hope? An impressive 5,000 runners now, with aspirations of reaching 10,000 someday. Both runs promise energy, community and purpose.

Rotary has been championing the fight against polio for decades, starting with its first major vaccination campaign in the Philippines in 1979, launching PolioPlus in 1985, and joining the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988.

Since then, it’s contributed billions to protect over 2.5 billion children worldwide.

A share of the proceeds supports two powerful causes: Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign and the Club’s Children’s Cancer Programme, providing vital care and hope to families in need.

Harrison Jub, President of Rotary Club of HartaMas, captures the sentiment: “When we run for peace, health, and hope, we don’t just cover distance, we close the gap between despair and healing.”

Everyone’s invited: runners, walkers, families, corporate squads, youth groups. Your race kit includes a T-shirt, finisher medal, and goodie bag. Expect fitness activities, community booths, and a day filled with purpose.

Make your steps count. These runs are about unity, public health, and action. Registration opens soon via RaceXAsia and Checkpoint Spot. Sponsorship and media partners are warmly welcomed.

Let’s run for more than personal bests, join the peace movement, for ending polio, and for hope.
