This annual event hosted by Hotel Taj Samudra is back on the calendar of events of the Lanka Alzheimer’s Foundation to celebrate World Alzheimer’s Day which falls in the month of September. In fact, the entire month is dedicated to Alzheimer’s and many events have been lined up here in Colombo.
Saturday, September 9 is the date set for the 5.7 km run which kicks off at 4 pm once the registration of participants are entered. The garden near the Hotel’s patisserie ‘Pebbles’ is the venue where souvenirs and memorabilia will be merchandised, and from where the run will be flagged off.
Participants can run at their own pace as it isn’t a race. Children above 12 may register. The objective of the run is to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and combat stigma. The route is in and around Colombo with the start and finish being the grounds of Hotel Taj Samudra.
Refreshments will be served after the run, courtesy, the Hotel.
Participants are encouraged to purchase a souvenir T-shirt and other memorabilia.
Please register via email or call 2667082 or 2667084.
