KUCHING: A total of 1,750 runners are set to participate in the IEM Engineers Run 2025 which will take place this Sunday at Petros, Batu Kawa, making it one of the largest turnouts since the event was first organised.
Chairperson of the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) Sarawak Branch, Ir Dr Angelia Liew San Chuin said the annual event, which is also IEM's flagship programme, will be officiated by Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Professor Dr Sim Kui Hian.
“The upcoming event is the IEM Engineers Run 2025 this Sunday at Petros Batu Kawa. Approximately 1,750 runners this year, making it the largest participation since this event was organised,” she said.
