Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo had attended the North Siksorogo Trail Run Lawu event, in Sikepan Village, Tawangmangu, Karanganyar. This event has the potential to introduce Tawangmangu and Lereng Lawu who have many interesting places for sport tourism.
Ganjar Pranowo joined the run after raising the starting flag for the 15K category. He joined around 900 trail 15K runners, beating uphill routes of rocky, wet soil, and some puddles of water. At the same time seeing the natural beauty in North Lereng Lawu, to be precise around Sikepan Village.
"The route was good, for the trail runners it's cool. So if they like to go up the mountain, like to run, this is wow, a very challenging place, the atmosphere on the slopes of Mount Lawu is really cool. The weather is also supportive, not too cold, a little cloudy and not hot. It must be good to tenants," said Ganjar.
During the run, Ganjar was occasionally seen joking runners passing through his right and left. He also threw jokes and enthusiasm at the runners several times. For example, when you see the queue of runners who avoid puddles.
"Wow, my life is hampered again. How come the track runs are afraid of water. You know, joked Ganjar to the runner while breaking through the line and getting into the puddle.
Tak hanya itu, sisi humor Ganjar semakin menjadi ketika menemukan pasangan sol sekali milik runner yang lepas. Ia juga menggunakan tagline Siksorogo Trail Run Lawu Utara Capek Itu Apa untuk mendorong para runner.
"Well, what are you tired of? Then I brought this, we found the soles of the shoes that came off, well, this means that the owner ran away without a shoe sole. We brought it to be used as a monument, or later announced at the finish line that lost the soles of the shoes, please contact the committee," he joked as in his statement, Monday 5 December.
According to Ganjar, the North Siksorogo Trail Run Lawu event was very good. First, because the participants were extraordinary. There are about two thousand runners, including the runner elite, who participated in a number of categories, starting from the farthest 80K, then 50K, 30K, 15K, and 7K. Second, the atmosphere of the slopes of Gubung Lawu which is very interesting.
This is very good. The participants were extraordinary, because the first team started yesterday (Saturday, December 3) at around 07.00 for 80K. Then the 50K started yesterday at 22.00. Before leaving the 15K start, I met the first two finishers in the 50K category. It's great," he said.
Ganjar added, Tawangmangu has great tourism and sport tourism potential. The trail run event is one example of sport tourism, so that it can introduce Karanganyar, especially Tawangmangu, many beautiful places. He hopes that in the future the trail run event on Lereng Gunung Lawu will be bigger.
This can introduce that in Karanganyar, especially in Tawangmangu, the place is beautiful. My place of birth. Maybe in the future an invitation can be sent to running groups, runners. It turns out that the track is really good. It has great potential, and when we talk about trail runs that are of other nature or outdoor sports, of course this becomes very interesting," he said.
