第三届 “行起来，家己人” 跑步与健行活动成功举办！ 3rd Teochew Walk · Jog · Run event Successfully holed！
9月7日（星期日），潮州八邑会馆主办的第三届 “行起来，家己人” 跑步与健行活动在新加坡体育城如期开始，内政部兼社会及家庭发展部政务部长吴培铭作为主宾参加，潮州八邑会馆会长吴木兴、署理会长吴佶财、总务黄朝群等也加入跑步健行队伍。
活动由潮州八邑会馆青年团及志愿者策划和筹办,分为5公里跑步路线和3公里健行路线。虽逢雨天，参与者的热情不减，今年报名参加的人数，从往届的200人增加到近350人，吸引了大量非会员和非潮州人参加。
今年的活动相比往届更具特色和亮点。为了鼓励年轻人带动全家参与，特别推出了12岁以下与60岁以上免费报名的安排，现场看到很多全家老小一起出动参加的家庭。其次，现场新增了小型嘉年华，设置了潮语相关的游戏环节，参与者通过闯关盖章还能参加抽奖。这样的设计不仅增添了活动的趣味性，也起到了传承潮州文化的作用。
On Sunday, 7 September, the Teochew Poit Ip Huay Kuan successfully launched the 3rd Teochew Walk · Jog · Run event at the Singapore Sports Hub.
We were honoured to have Mr Goh Pei Ming, the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social and Family Development, as our Guest of Honour. Our Huay Kuan President Derek Goh Bak Heng, Deputy President Mr. Woo Chee Chay, and Honorary Secretary Mr Jacob Huang Zhao Qun, also joined the run and walk together with all participants.
This year’s event was planned and organized by the Huay Kuan Youth Group and volunteers, featuring a 5km run and a 3km walk. Despite the rainy weather, participants’ spirits remained high. Participation grew from 200 in previous years to nearly 350 this year, attracting not only members but also many non-members and non-Teochews.
New Highlights in 2025:
- ??? Free registration for children under 12 and seniors above 60 encouraged families to join together. Many came as three-generation families.
- ? A mini carnival with Teochew-themed games allowed participants to collect stamps, win prizes, and most importantly, learn about Teochew language and culture.
The event brought together sports, family bonding, and cultural heritage—truly showcasing the Teochew spirit in Singapore! ?❤️
