BANJARNEGARA - The Tourism and Culture Office (Dinparbud) of Banjarnegara Regency will hold an Etawalin Dieng Run Run Lari Atas Awan 2023 event. The Evemt, according to the Head of the Banjarnegara Regency Dinparbud, Tursiman, is a way to raise the tourism sector and local potential in the Dieng Plateau Tourism Area (KWDT), Banjarnegara, Central Java.

"Therefore, we welcome this event as a form of activity to raise Dieng Banjarnegara tourism and have a positive impact on the community," he said in Banjarnegara, Central Java, as well as in ANTARA's Kutp, Saturday.

He admitted that he was optimistic that this activity could also lift the economy of the Dieng community.

According to him, the activities that come with the concept of sports and natural tourism will open a series of 2024 Dieng Culture Festival (DCF) events.

The activity which will be held on Sunday (29/10/2023) was initiated by one of the local media in the Banyumas Raya (Serayawes) area and received full support from Mukit Hendrayatno as Chairman of the Ethos Group.

In his statement, Muchit hopes that this activity can become an annual agenda that cooperates with the government from various other stakeholders.

"Hopefully, this activity will be the pioneer of the annual marathon event because Dieng Run is not only a trigger for tourism economic growth based on sports, but also to raise local wisdom and tourism," he said.

Thus, he said, tourism is increasing and the local community's economy is increasing because Dieng Run participants do not only come from Central Java, also from various parts of Indonesia.

In addition to inviting runners to feel the sensation of running in the highlands, the event also challenges runners to compete at a distance of 5 kilometers and 10 kilometers.
