More than 6,500 participants took part in the fourth edition of the Toyota Start Your Impossible (SYI) Outrun 2025, held recently as part of Toyota’s broader initiative to promote inclusive mobility and community support.
The event raised RM200,000 for the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM), supporting cancer awareness, research, and patient services. Since 2020, the initiative has contributed over RM500,000 to NCSM.
This year marked the introduction of a new 21KM Half Marathon category, joining the existing 10KM and 5KM races. The expanded format attracted a wide demographic of participants, including cancer survivors, families, runners with disabilities, and senior citizens. Community groups such as Persatuan Pelari Anak Luar Biasa – Little Fighter Runners and Bikeisable were also represented.
President of UMW Toyota Motor, Datuk Ravindran K., highlighted the event’s broader mission, stating: “Mobility extends beyond vehicles—it’s about moving people forward in every sense.”
In addition to the race, the event grounds featured health and wellness booths by NCSM, N8 Sports Nutrition, and ATF Sport Taping, along with free health screenings. Toyota also showcased several models, including the Vios, Yaris G Limited, Hilux GRS, and Corolla Cross HEV, while the Beyond Zero zone presented the brand’s electrified lineup, including the bZ4X and Mirai.
Festival activities included a kids’ zone, stage games, percussion performances, and a Gazoo Racing showcase. Participants also engaged in interactive challenges and photo opportunities.
Top 10 finishers in the 10KM and 21KM categories received a share of over RM138,000 in cash prizes. Lucky Draw winners walked away with items worth more than RM19,000, including a Sony Bravia TV, Garmin Forerunner Triathlon Watch, and PlayStation 5.
All runners received a performance race kit, while 21KM finishers were awarded a finisher’s jersey. That being said, the SYI Outrun is part of Toyota’s ongoing Start Your Impossible campaign, reflecting the company’s vision of mobility that is inclusive and community-driven.
