The objectives of the event:-
Sky Adventure Club(SAC) of Taylor's Business School(TBS), one of the most active clubs in TBS have often been associated with nature, outdoors and physical based events like our successful 400km cross country Cycling Pledge and the Adventurace series (an annual event taking the form of Fear Factor and Amazing Race). We also regularly participate in the Earth Day Awareness program as well as sending members annually to the Sea Turtle Research and Conservation Unit (SEATRU) program. Apart from that, we also regularly have hiking, camping, caving, rock climbing, scuba diving, and various other leisure trips.

SAC has decided to take a step further through combining our nature loving and physical challenging activities to organise a charity run through a forest based terrain. We have decided to approach the Malaysian AIDS Foundation(MAF) as we realize that AIDS is a matter of concern throughout Malaysia and we hope that every contribution we give to the MAF will help make a difference in the lives of HIV+ patients.

To raise awareness and funds to a charitable NGO body, Malaysian AIDS Foundation.
To expose the participants to the dangers of AIDS.
To challenge the participants to be physically and mentally strong.
To promote healthy living.
To learn to appreciate nature.

Comments: I think there is no 10 km in this run. It may only be 8 km the most. But the hilly slopes are very challenging. There may be only less than 50 people in our category (the B for women and D for men), and the entire event might just have only like less than 200 people. But these kids have tried their best in organising thie show. I would say they have done a great job to raise fund and put up a good show like this. My friend Mr Loh Wing Keen ran 51 min, I clocked 55 min.
