Event Detail
The Kuching Love Book Association Run to Protect Endangered Species 2026 is the fourth edition of a community charity run centred on wildlife conservation awareness. It takes place on Sunday 18 October 2026 at the MBKS Foyer on Jalan Padungan in Kuching, Sarawak. The advertised event window is 6:00am to 10:00am Malaysian time. The event brings an environmental message to an accessible city running format, rather than presenting itself as a competitive marathon or mountain ultra.
Running programme
Current event promotion identifies 5 km and 10 km running options. A secondary calendar also lists a 3 km category, but this has not been confirmed from the readable organiser material, so it is not included in the structured distance selections pending verification. The venue is the foyer of the Kuching South City Council (MBKS) building. Detailed 2026 route maps, separate category flag-off times, timing arrangements and course cut-offs have not been reliably published in accessible text. Participants should use the organiser's latest race instructions rather than assuming a particular course through central Kuching.
Registration and race-day arrangements
The official Ticket2u listing states that registration closed at 11:59pm on 15 September 2026, following an early-bird period ending on 15 June. Online administration fees were additional to the advertised category prices, which appear in an image and could not be independently transcribed. The registration page shows artwork for an event T-shirt, medal and tote bag; runners should check which items are included with their chosen category. Race-pack collection details are still marked to be announced on the listing. The event rules require an official receipt and identity document for collection, whether in person or by an authorised representative.
The published rules set a minimum participant age of five, prohibit pets and wheeled devices on the course, and advise participants to assess their fitness before joining. Kuching can be hot and humid, so allow time to reach the venue before the morning programme and follow official hydration and safety guidance. Prize information is presented graphically on the registration page; specific awards have not been independently verified.
