JAKARTA (JP): The Regent Jakarta Hotel, in cooperation with the Canadian Embassy and the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, will hold the fifth annual Terry Fox Run in Jakarta on Sunday.

The starting line will be at the Regent Jakarta Hotel on Jl. Rasuna Said in South Jakarta and the route will go through Jl. Sudirman in Central Jakarta heading south towards the Pemuda statue in South Jakarta.

"Participants will have a choice of either a 10 kilometer or a five kilometer route before heading back to the hotel for a light breakfast," Nuni Sutyoko Rasad, public relations manager of the Regent Jakarta and chairperson of the Terry Fox committee, said in a written statement on Wednesday.

She said the committee was expecting around 1,500 people to take part and make their social contribution.

"We're expecting to raise Rp 150 million (US$21,430), which will be donated to the Indonesian Cancer Foundation's research program," Nuni said.

Each participant is required to pay Rp 25,000 for the entrance fee. (imn)
