Serang, 29 September 2024 – The Alun-alun Kota Serang Barat became a vibrant hub of activity on Sunday, 29 September 2024, with the hosting of the Banten 5K Fun Run 2024. This event was initiated by Ekbispar Banten, a working group of journalists focused on economics, business, and tourism in Banten, and successfully attracted approximately 1,000 participants from various regions across the province. The event aims to strengthen ongoing synergy between the local government, economic players, and the business community in Banten as part of the regional economic recovery efforts.

Attending the event was the Acting Governor of Banten, Al Muktabar, who provided direct support for this initiative and emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government and the community in economic recovery.

Carrying the slogan "Banten Sehat Bikin Bahagia," the event not only encourages the public to maintain their health but also underscores the significance of physical and mental well-being in building a strong economy. Public health is the foundation for sustainable economic development and growth. In this context, the synergy between fitness activities and the economy is a key focus, as a healthy population will be more productive, happier, and able to contribute optimally to regional economic growth.

As a demonstration of support for the community and local economic development, Aston Hotels in Banten actively participated as a sponsor of the event. Aston Hotels' involvement reflects a strong commitment to supporting strategic initiatives that have a significant impact on community welfare and local economic growth.

The series of events began on 28 September 2024, with the opening of booths offering a variety of interesting products and services. In addition to the Fun Run, other activities included group exercise, door prize giveaways, a budget bazaar, and a health check. These activities were designed to promote a healthy lifestyle, social solidarity, and encourage local economic growth.

This event serves as a crucial moment in the effort to accelerate the economic recovery of Banten, involving active participation from local businesses, including the tourism industry and hotel accommodations such as Aston Anyer Beach Hotel, Aston Cilegon Boutique Hotel, and Aston Serang Hotel and Convention Center. The participation of these business stakeholders demonstrates their commitment to continue supporting the strategic steps of the local government in restoring economic stability.

By combining enjoyable physical activities with a larger purpose, the Banten 5K Fun Run 2024 successfully strengthened the bonds within the local community while highlighting the importance of collaboration for a stronger and more resilient Banten.

Doddy Fathurahman, Regional General Manager Aston Hotels di Banten, explained:

"We are proud to participate in the Banten 5K Fun Run 2024. This event is not just a sporting occasion but also an important effort to raise awareness about health and community well-being.
