100 participants crossed forests, healthy lifestyle fertilizer

BINTULU, 7 Nov: About 100 participants participated in a forest-crossing event organized by the Bintulu Hash House Harriers at Chung Hua No. Two, here last night, to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Tanjong Batu State Unity Council (DUN) chairman, Johnny Pang Leong Ming, said the activity not only enhanced fitness but also brought together communities of all ages and backgrounds to relax together.

"Then Hash House Harriers hold this activity every Friday at 5.30 pm by choosing different locations for each session", he said when met after joining the activity.

He said participation was open to all sections of society regardless of race and religion, thereby encouraging more individuals involved in recreational activities.

According to him, cross-forest paths also test participants' physical endurance as they have to climb hills and through challenging terrain.

"I was informed that the oldest participant in this group is 92 years old and still able to run seven to eight kilometers", he said.

Johnny said that Bintulu Hash House Harriers had a good management system, and there were even participants who had been involved in the group's activities for over 30 years.

In this regard, he encouraged the public, especially Bintulu residents, to participate in such activities to maintain fitness and practice a healthy lifestyle.

"I'm so happy to be joining the Hash group today and have at least completed a mile and a half", she said. - TVS
