A TOTAL of 4,500 participants turned out for the inaugural EcoHill Rescue Run in Setia EcoHill, Semenyih recently.

The event was jointly organised by St John Ambulans Malaysia and Setia EcoHill Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of SP Setia Berhad, to raise funds for SJAM’s activities as well as its haemodialysis centre.

The run was divided into the 10km Mission Run and 5km Fun Run.

The Mission Run route took runners along the newly completed EcoHill Link, which connects the township and its surrounding communities to the Lekas highway.

The Fun Run for families saw participants exploring a section of the township’s landscape.

“Our commitment to build sustainable communities is what sets SP Setia apart.

“We continuously strive to promote a balanced lifestyle with activities such as this Rescue Run, where our neighbouring communities can also come and enjoy the vast greenery and landscaping at Setia EcoHill,” said SP Setia executive vice-president Tan Hon Lim.

All in all, more than 6,000 visitors, including the EcoHill Rescue Run participants, enjoyed various entertainment along the running routes as well as carnival booths set up behind the finish line.

“I am an avid runner and I constantly look out for exciting and fun runs such as this, especially for a good cause.

“I hope SP Setia will continue to organise more events like this,” said Raymund Sze, one of the participants.

In conjunction with the run, there’s was a special edition of the EcoHill Farmers’ Market.

EcoHill Rescue Run participants as well as other visitors to Setia EcoHill also took the opportunity to explore the township and find out more about the newly launched Grandlis Collection in the Horizon Residence precinct, which offers a series of two-storey super-link homes.

In conjunction with SP Setia’s 40th anniversary, these houses are being offered with an attractive package for a limited time only.
