The Orang Asli Trail Run
3. Running for Orang Asli/Asal group was
started after some plight for the Orang
Asli (OA) in the interior of the jungle
fringes were made known.
It started in July 2010 among the fellow
runners and has picked up awareness of
its purpose. Runners are frequently
spotted wearing the bib in support. The
purpose for the Running for Orang Asli
support group was to provide financial
support for The Learning Center Project
Outreach, a group set up on a non-
politically affiliated nor a religion based
which sends provisional, education and
stationery needs to the interior villages of
OA.

6. The Objectives of the OA Trail Run
- The provide a platform for social interaction
between the society and the OA community to
create more awareness of their
lifestyles, needs and assistance.
- An event to provide some form of work to
generate income for their village e.g. money
for them as volunteers, money for them for
catering of food to the participants of the
run, making the route runnable, clearing the
path.
- and To provide funds for sustainable projects
into their village.
7. The Set Up of the OA Trail Run
- The OA Trail Run is essentially a charity run where
the registration fees for the run is collected as
funds to be channeled to the villages identified for
their sustainable projects or any provisional funds
required during a given period.
- Its route will be in the region of Gombak reserve
forest starting from the OA village of Kg Batu 16
Jalan Bentong Lama. It will be 10km of trail
running. The distance maybe more this year.
- In an ambience of lush and raw greenery where
nature is best experienced combined with the effort
to ensure the love of the nature is protected.
8. The Sustainable Projects for 2012
1. For Kg Batu 14, Jalan Bentong Lama, a piece of
the OA land is being cultivated to be a
showcase of OA houses and huts for community
centers exemplifying the lifestyle and culture
of OA. The intention for this is a combination
of maintaining the heritage of OA plus some
eco-tourism business for them to generate
extra money for their village. The intention is
to help them build a homestay program where
they can invite tourist to stay in the that
center.
9. The secondary project for OATR2012
2. For Kg Batu 16, Jalan Bentong Lama,
extra income is generated to them for
providing the venue, the volunteers and
guides. We also cater OA food from them
for the event. This will help them have
some savings for the year.
