IPB Run 2025 Successfully Held, 4 Thousand People Run While Carrying Missions For The Environment

JAKARTA - The IPB Run 2025 running event was completed on Sunday, November 16. Located again at the IPB Dramaga Bogor Campus, 4,000 participants also enlivened the agenda that had entered its fourth year.

Since it was first held in 2022, the number of participants has continued to increase. However, the IPB Run 2025 was held not only for running events but also for humanitarian and environmental missions.

IPB Run 2025 is ready to become a running event that not only tests physically, but also increases awareness of the health of the earth. This is as stated by the Chairman of the IPB Alumni Association Walneg S. Jas who explained that this year the mission is increasingly strengthened by focusing on planting.

In addition to donating for scholarships, the committee also emphasized that the IPB Run 2025 was also held because considering the importance of balancing between taking advantage of nature and giving back.

"Moreover, we have a mission in the environment, there is planting trees, we also mean saving people as well," said Walneg.

The chairman of the Afrizal Committee revealed a unique planting strategy, instead of planting trees on campus that were already thick. Because after the complete running agenda is held, runners will get souvenirs in the form of plant seeds that can be chosen and taken home.

"We will provide trees for the participants to be planted in their respective homes in helping to green the earth, because the IPB campus is too thick," he said.

IPB Run 2025 Half Marathon starts at 05.30 WIB (HM), 05.45 WIB (10K), and 06.00 WIB (5K) running comfortably with full support from the field team. A total of 500 manpowers were prepared, including the marshal team, tracers, and the medical team.

Especially this year, the committee provided additional facilities to appreciate runners struggling on challenging terrain: First, there is massage (massage) after running, room for prayer for participants, and a special jersey that distinguishes general participants from alumni (IPB alumni logo).

There are different things in the IPB Run 2025 event, where the running track is different from other running events which are usually flat. Because the level of elevation (hiking) is challenging to be uniqueness in itself for the participant experience.

Half Marathon (HM/21K) has an elevation of almost half a kilometer. Meanwhile, the Run 10K route elevations up to 450 meters and 5K: Elevasi climbs 100 meters.

Walneg S. Jas hopes that this event can be a means to appreciate the community while at the same time introducing a wider campus.

"Hopefully this can expose campuses as well, ecosystems, health, the environment and humans on campus," he said.
