the Xtra Mile Run

The xtramilerun is an invitation to invite the community and corporations to go the extra mile for the less fortunate. For the first time, StART Society is organizing “The Extramile Run” to raise funds for the StART Society’s Music and Dance Programme which will benefit some 200 underprivileged children to build their artistic and creative skills. Our hero runner, Alex Au-Yong will be running all 100km on that day. You can support through pledging your donation online. Every RM10 is equivalent to 10 meters.

Alex Au-Yong has 'donated' his leg to run 100km to raise fund for the cause.

For more information, please log on to http://www.xtramile.info/event.php?navi=event

If you wish to support Alex and wish to pace with him, you may do so by being at any of the check point. Please ensure that you have a friend (a non runner) to pick you or carry your baggage as the organiser is not providing any baggage services except for the official pacer.
