Jurian described this year's route, Nusantarun Chapter 11: Final Java Series as one of the longest routes ever done. The reason, for a very long route, certainly has a very heavy physical challenge. Not only for runners, but also for volunteers.
“Especially for this year, The challenge is more tangible because the venue is the farthest from the domicile of the majority of Nusantarun's friends (committee) so it requires energy, time, and extra costs for each of Nusantarun's friends who contribute,” added Jurian.
“Hopefully all runners can finish the Nusantaran Chapter trip 11: Final Java Series Healthy and Survivors and the funds collected can be beneficial for education in Indonesia, especially to help student athletes from poor families in East Java,” continued Jurian.
