SEREMBAN, 13 August 2025

IJM Land Berhad’s annual flagship event, the IJM Land Half Marathon 2025, has concluded with a resounding success, drawing a record 12,000 participants. The 11th edition of the run was a dual celebration, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the Seremban 2 township, where the event was held at Dataran Centrio.

The marathon’s theme, “Seremban 2 – 30 Years of Connecting Lives, Shaping Futures,” echoed the run’s own tagline, “Run Together, Bond Stronger,” emphasizing the shared values of community development, healthy living, and charitable giving.

The event was officiated by YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Aminuddin Bin Haji Harun, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, and Yang Berbahagia Datuk Ir. Ts. Haji Masri  Baharuddin, Datuk Bandar of Majlis Bandaraya Seremban (MBS). Datuk Chai Kian Soon, Chief Operating Officer of IJM Land Berhad, highlighted the significance of the two milestones converging. “As we reflect on three decades of Seremban 2’s growth alongside our marathon’s evolution, we see how sports and community development go hand-in-hand,” he said. “The enthusiasm of our 12,000 participants, the generosity extended through our charity efforts, and the continued multigenerational support – these are the true measures of success that inspire us to carry this legacy forward.”

Diverse Categories and Significant Charitable Giving

The event offered a range of categories to accommodate all fitness levels, including a 21KM Half Marathon, 12KM races, and a 5KM Fun Run.  Beyond promoting physical fitness, the marathon served as a platform for significant community support, with over RM45,000 contributed to various causes in 2025 alone.
