\u201cAlhamdulillah, today the implementation of Kemala Run 2026 went\nsmoothly and well as planned. Almost all participants have now entered\nthe finish area and everything proceeded without issues,\u201d Sambodo said\nin a press release received by Kompas.com on Sunday (19\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the extraordinary enthusiasm like this, we hope we can hold\nthis event every year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The success of wondr Kemala Run 2026 was also evident from its\neconomic impact. Economist from the Faculty of Economics and Business at\nUdayana University, I Gede Nandya Oktora Panasea, assessed that events\nlike this serve as an important stimulus for Bali\u2019s economic growth,\nwhich currently stands at 5.82 percent year-on-year (yoy), higher than\nthe national average.<\/p>\n
He explained that with around 11,000 participants and certain\nspending patterns, the potential economic circulation during the event\nis estimated to reach Rp 110 billion to Rp 140 billion.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor out-of-town participants, average spending could be around Rp 10\nmillion per person. Assuming about 11,000 participants and an optimistic\nscenario, the potential economic circulation from this event is\nestimated to reach Rp 110 billion to Rp 140 billion,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
In addition to boosting the tourism and services sectors, the event\nalso opened opportunities for local businesses. Dozens of micro, small,\nand medium enterprises (UMKM) were involved to liven up the event area\nwhile serving the needs of participants and visitors.<\/p>\n
Sambodo continued that community involvement was a primary concern\nfor the organising committee. In addition to combined personnel from the\npolice, military, local government, pecalang, and community elements,\nUMKM were also given space so that economic benefits could be felt\ndirectly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also involved UMKM, including to provide cheering encouragement\nto the participants,\u201d Sambodo said.<\/p>\n
In agreement, Nandya emphasised the importance of involving UMKM so\nthat the economic impact is not concentrated in certain sectors\nalone.<\/p>\n
\u201cInvolving local UMKM is key so that the economic benefits are not\nonly concentrated in certain sectors but are also felt directly by the\nlocal community,\u201d Nandya said.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, wondr Kemala Run 2026 also carried a social\nmission through fundraising for humanitarian causes. The organising\ncommittee opened opportunities for donations from participants and the\npublic, including through an auction of paintings by children with\nspecial needs.<\/p>\n
\u201c(The public) can also donate here. There is an auction of paintings\nby children with special needs (ABK). We will give all the collected\nfunds to areas affected by the recent disaster, particularly in Aceh,\nNorth Sumatra, West Sumatra, and West Java,\u201d Sambodo explained.<\/p>\n
The wondr Kemala Run 2026 is considered an example of a sports event\nthat can drive economic growth while strengthening social care. This is\nproven by the success of the implementation, the high enthusiasm of\nparticipants, the significant economic impact, broad community\ninvolvement, and humanitarian social actions.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/successful-event-wondr-kemala-run-2026-boosts-balis-economy-by-involving-smes-1776577845", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
