The Indonesian running community was formed in early 2025. What is its goal, besides maintaining fitness?


This running community usually runs together on Sunday mornings. But this time, they also wanted to celebrate the 80th Indonesian Independence Day celebrations, which were held at Federation Square, Melbourne, on August 17th. Renzy Armando, the community's leader, collaborated with the Indonesian Consulate General in Melbourne, opening this run to the public. What's next? Renzy Armando explains the plans for the future to SBS Indonesian.
