"Participants and visitors can access the venue through Gate 5 at GBK Senayan, which will remain open at all times. Specifically, Gate 2 and Gate 10 will open at 4:00 AM WIB. The start and finish points for the Eco Run are located at GBK's southeast gate," Fadjar explained.
He further advised participants to optimize their running experience by wearing the jerseys provided in the race packs, carbo-loading to maintain energy levels, getting sufficient rest, and undergoing a health check-up, particularly for heart health.
Pertamina has also prepared substantial prizes for the race winners, totaling hundreds of millions of rupiah across several categories. Additionally, participants could win door prizes and grand prizes during the Eco RunFest 2024.
"Participants are encouraged to prepare themselves well, seize the chance to become winners, and spread the energy of sustainability for a better environmental future," Fadjar said.
He emphasized besides participant safety and comfort, Pertamina, with Waste4Change, has implemented sustainable waste management practices for the Eco RunFest 2024. This initiative aims to raise public awareness about the importance of waste segregation to support a circular economy.
“Our goal is zero waste to landfill. Waste from the Eco RunFest 2024 event will not end up in landfills,” he asserted.
Fadjar detailed that waste management during the Eco RunFest 2024 will involve separating organic and inorganic waste, collecting, sorting, and recycling it at the Material Recovery Facility (MRF).
“Hundreds of personnel will be deployed across the Eco RunFest 2024 area to support waste management actions and education, promoting environmental impact awareness,” Fadjar added.
The Pertamina Eco RunFest 2024 is more than just a sports event. It is a tangible step toward achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060, promoting sustainable lifestyle changes, and building awareness of the importance of protecting the planet.
Pertamina, as a leading company in the energy transition, is committed to supporting the Net Zero Emission 2060 target by continuously promoting programs that directly impact the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement. All these efforts align with Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) implementation across all Pertamina’s business lines and operations.**
