According to him, the KCMF represents healthy lifestyle activities that can unite communities.
“KCMF serves as a clear example of how activities centred on promoting a healthy lifestyle can bring people together and unite us all as one community.
“Beyond encouraging physical well-being, it also plays a great role in fostering strong bonds of togetherness and coexistence among people from all walks of life,” he said.
The KCFM, held twice a month, has firmly established itself as a highly anticipated event that resonates with city residents.
The 2025 edition of KCFM kicked off with a highly enthusiastic response from the public, who braved the rain to participate in various recreational activities such as walking, cycling, and other forms of outdoor exercise.
