The 5km Senyum Manis Run is a Sunday-morning health run organised by the Penang branch of Diabetes Malaysia. It takes place on 15 November 2026 at Padang Kawad, the parade ground on the Universiti Sains Malaysia campus in Gelugor, with flag-off at 7am. The organiser pitches the run as a way to get people moving for their health and for a good cause.
There is a single 5km distance, which makes it a friendly option for first-timers, students and families who want an easy outing rather than a race. Entry is RM30 for students, RM35 for adults, or RM100 for a group of four, so a group of friends or a family saves a little by signing up together. Every entry includes a T-shirt, a finisher medal and a goodie bag, plus a chance at the lucky draw.
Race kits are collected the day before, on Saturday 14 November, from 11am to 6pm at Decathlon Gurney Paragon (Level 2). The registration page shows 11 November 2026 next to its closing-date icon, so sign up before then. Arrive a little early on the day to find your way to the parade ground.
The page does not say which charity or programme the proceeds support; check with the organiser through the Howei page if that matters to you.
