Following this, the race was officially started by SOP Foundation trustee Eric Kiu Kwong Seng and trainees of Healthy Strides Malaysia, symbolizing a powerful and inclusive beginning.
This year's event theme is “Stride for Inclusion, Stride for All,” with a special highlight being the 100-meter special run. Thirty children and trainees with disabilities from Healthy Strides Malaysia participated, with the audience cheering and applauding each participant, fully embodying the belief that “everyone can reach the finish line.”
