The RVi Group, together with China Daily Asia Pacific, RVIPS, and RVi-managed International School, Singapore International School Yangon, participated in and supported the Monkey Forest Ubud Run 2026, held on Sunday, 18 October, in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
Organised by Monkey Forest Ubud and supported by The RVi Group, China Daily Asia Pacific and other international partners, the event attracted approximately 1,700 runners from around the world.
Under the theme “More Than Run,” the event featured two race categories: 5 km and the newly introduced 10 km distance, bringing together runners of different nationalities and backgrounds in a celebration of sport, culture and community.
The event was part of the Run With History series, an initiative supported by The RVi Group, China Daily and other collaborating institutions since 2019 to promote cultural appreciation, community engagement and international friendship through running.

Run With History: Celebrating Asia’s Cultural Heritage
Since 2019, the Run With History series has brought running events to culturally significant destinations across Asia, including Ayutthaya in Thailand, Luang Prabang in Laos, Bagan in Myanmar and Bali in Indonesia.
Each event combines participation in sport with an appreciation of local history and heritage, encouraging runners to experience the cultural identity of each host destination while building connections across communities.
More than a sporting initiative, Run With History serves as a platform for cultural exchange, regional friendship and community engagement.
