Kuta, Bali, Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a great cause! Mamaka by Ovolo is excited to present the Miles for Smiles Mamaka Fun Run 2024, a 5K charity run through the vibrant streets of Kuta and Legian on Saturday, October 26, 2024.
This fun and fitness-filled event unites locals, tourists, and communities alike, all while raising crucial funds to support children in need through our partnership with the Bali Children Foundation (BCF).
The Mamaka Fun Run is part of Ovolo Hotels wider Ovo-Walk initiative, now in its fourth year, taking place simultaneously across all Ovolo properties in Southeast Asia and Australia. Together, our collective fundraising efforts to date, have made a significant impact, supporting the elementary school of SDN 3 Sidetapa in North Bali by providing classroom upgrades, learning materials, and stationery kits for each student.
Additionally, the funds have enabled scholarships and extended educational access to more children in need. Our commitment to nurturing future talent is also reflected in the post-internship employment opportunities we offer at Mamaka by Ovolo.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or someone who enjoys a leisurely jog, the Miles for Smiles Fun Run is open to all! With an expected 250 participants, the race will kick off and conclude at the iconic Kuta Beach, guiding runners through a scenic route along Bali’s vibrant streets—all in support of a great cause and to help us reach our fundraising goal of 35,000 AUD for children in need.
To register, simply visit https://tinyurl.com/mamakafunrun. All registration fees and auction proceeds will directly support BCF’s ongoing programs in North Bali.
Every participant will receive a race pack that includes a stylish t-shirt, drawstring bag, socks, BIB, and a one-of-a-kind medal to commemorate the event.
In addition, top finishers in both male and female categories will be awarded exciting prizes, including a 2-day, 1-night stay at Mamaka by Ovolo, restaurant vouchers, and exclusive membership rewards.
