The “International Run For Orangutan 2018” event was chosen to commemorate the International Orangutan Awareness week campaign celebrated every year. The main objective of this event is to create awareness on the plight of the critically endangered orangutans as well as a caring society towards our environment and wildlife – being that Sandakan is world-class known for the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre – the first established and the oldest rehabilitation center in the world.
Harbour Mall Sandakan and Fay’s Studio the main organizer for this run in collaboration with Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilatation Centre hope that more participants will come forward not only for the love of running but also because you care. This run is the first in Borneo probably the first in the world as International that carries the name of Orangutan because we care and we want the nations to know how important it is to help this mammals.
