    The Toyota START YOUR IMPOSSIBLE Outrun 2024 brought together a diverse group of participants, including over 200 international runners. The event featured a 10KM race with an RM50,000 prize pool and a 5KM Fun Run, catering to participants of all ages and skill levels. The substantial prize money and inclusive categories attracted both competitive runners and casual participants.

    Datuk Ravindran K. highlighted the impact of the funds raised: “We hope that the proceeds from the event will significantly bolster NCSM's initiatives, including Community Cancer and Health Screening programs, the transformative Jejak Kanser, and Vaccination Drives. Additionally, these funds will ensure daily transportation for patients residing in Children and Adult’s Homes, providing them with essential access to medical care.”

    Since its inception in 2019, the Toyota Outrun has grown in participation and funds raised, becoming a key part of Toyota's commitment to promoting mobility and supporting charitable causes in Malaysia. The first event, with Paralympian Abdul Latif as the ambassador, raised RM151,000.
