The 2025 Trukai Fun Run in Goroka kicked off on a brisk, chilly morning but was soon warmed by the energy, enthusiasm, and unity of the community. The event attracted hundreds of participants from all corners of Goroka — including students, teachers, business professionals, government workers, and everyday residents on the chilly morning of 22 June 2025 — all lacing up their shoes in support of a greater national cause.
This highly anticipated annual event is more than just a fun run. It is a movement that brings people together to promote healthy living, community spirit, and national pride. The proceeds raised from the Fun Run will directly support #TeamPNG as they prepare to represent Papua New Guinea at the Palau Pacific Mini Games, taking place from June 29 to July 9, 2025.
Once again, the event was a tremendous success — not only in turnout but also in purpose. It showcased the heart and soul of Goroka: a community that cares deeply about its country and its athletes.
Among the many proud supporters was Able Home and Office – Goroka Branch, a company that has consistently shown its dedication to community-driven initiatives. The team from Able Goroka actively participated in the event, continuing their tradition of involvement in the Trukai Fun Run year after year. Their presence underscores the important role local businesses play in driving national pride and community engagement.
As the 2025 edition of the Fun Run wraps up, it leaves behind more than just footprints — it leaves behind a legacy of unity, purpose, and the unwavering support of the people for their national team. With events like these, the road to Palau for #TeamPNG is paved not only with training and hard work but with the powerful backing of a nation that believes in them.
