SUBANG Jaya City Council’s (MBSJ) Car-Free Day programme is coming to Seri Kembangan this Sunday.
The event, which will feature a 4.2km fun run and 15km fun ride, will take place outside South City Plaza.
MBSJ Corporate and Strategic Management Department director Muhammad Azli Miswan said the car-free day was aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles, environmental awareness, and community engagement through vehicle-free roads.
Car-free day takes place four times a year, with the next two slated for August and October.
“We first began in 2022, with all activities held in Subang Jaya but we are now expanding to other state constituencies.
“In February we held it in Seri Serdang, and this is our first time hosting the event in Seri Kembangan.
“We are grateful for the support from the police, Public Works Department and other relevant agencies to ensure safety throughout the programmes,” he said during a press conference at MBSJ headquarters in Subang Jaya.
The fun run is open to participants aged 12 and above, while the fun ride is for those aged 15 and above.
Registration can be done online, with participation fees starting from RM10.
“We have introduced a small fee this time to improve the overall experience, including offering a lucky draw with the grand prize of a 110cc motorcycle, as well as insurance coverage,” Muhammad Azli added.
Other activities include an aerobics session as well as an “explorace” aimed at raising awareness of dengue prevention.
Various exhibitions will also be held by the police, Fire and Rescue Department and companies, many of which will offer special promotions. ― By ALISA IDRIS
