About Run For A Cause

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 is making a conscious effort to help raise funds for many of Malaysia’s charities, so they can focus on what they do best - caring for and serving the less fortunate. 

Our initiative is a community effort and cannot be successful without the support of runners, corporations, media and other organisations. Through this the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 is taking a step forward to become a true community event and helping the less fortunate across all ages and ethnicities. The target groups include underprivileged people with disabilities and environmental topics. Your generous donations to these initiatives will help them overcome their challenges and improve their lives.

Registration

"Run For A Cause" is one such initiative. Registration for this cause is simple:

• Choose a charity you want to support by pledging to raise a minimum of RM500.
• You can even design a profile page to raise money at the Donating Runners page once you have registered succesfully.
• Once you raise the minimum pledged amount, we shall waive your entry free.

Rules & Regulations

• Participants who register for the "Run for a Cause" programme in support of the Event's official charity partners in 2010, are bound by the specific rules and regulations of the "Run for a Cause" programme in addition to the rules applicable to the individual categories as stipulated above.
• A Runner registered for "Run for a Cause" will have to raise a minimum amount of RM500 (from online donations) by 1 June 2010 and submit all donations collected to the Organiser and in return the registered Runner will be awarded with a waiver of the Events registration fee.
