PARTICIPANTS of the City of Dreams Hike 2019 put their physical and mental strength to the test by running 6km up Penang Hill while carrying barrels of water.

The event, which aimed to raise awareness on water conservation, required teams of up to 10 people each to carry 10 litres of water from the starting point outside the Penang Botanic Gardens up to the hill’s peak.
