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.
