My Champion 5km Fun Run & Walk 2026

My Champion 5km Fun Run & Walk 2026 brings runners and walkers together at Dataran Bandaraya Ipoh (Dataran MBI) in Perak for World Diabetes Day awareness and Ipoh Low Carbon Day. This community-oriented event encourages regular physical activity and public understanding of diabetes rather than focusing solely on elite competition. The official registration page lists the date as Sunday, 22 November 2026 and the start as 07:30 Malaysian time (MYT, UTC+8).

The 5K experience

The event offers a 5 km run/walk with separate men's and women's open entry categories, both accepting participants aged seven and above. The organiser's terms say an official drink station will be located at approximately the 3.5 km point on the course. Only participants displaying their race bibs may enter the running area, and the route is subject to the organiser's final instructions. Runners and walkers should expect an accessible community atmosphere but must check the route map and any last-minute traffic information before travelling.

The event is associated with the Perak health authorities (KKM Perak), with Generasi Athletic Club listed as co-organiser and Ashkhu Glow Event Management the published event contact. Dataran Bandaraya Ipoh is in the Greentown civic precinct, around Jalan Sultan Abdul Jalil.

Entry information

The official Race Roster listing shows a late-entry period running from 1 to 28 October 2026, with men's and women's 5K entries advertised. Online registration was still being promoted in the current listing when checked on 25 October; this does not guarantee that places remain available when someone attempts checkout. The listed base fee is subject to additional platform and insurance charges, so check the payable total during registration. The organiser has stated a participant limit of 2,000.

Important conditions from the organiser's published rules:

• Each participant may register for one category only. Duplicate registrations are not refunded.
• Transfers to another person and changes of race category are prohibited.
• The organiser states that no refund is payable for non-participation or event cancellation under its published conditions.
• Finisher medals go only to people who complete the course.
• Event T-shirt sizes are allocated subject to available stock, on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Runners must follow organisers' directions and accept that arrangements may change when required.

Race-pack collection

Entrants must collect their T-shirt and race bib during the organiser's designated collection session. The terms expressly say that late collection requests will not be accepted and uncollected packs will be forfeited. A verified collection date, time and venue have not yet been established, so do not travel to a guessed collection location; contact the organiser or check your registration confirmation.
