The event, which has been running since 2020, not only features a sunset-to-sunrise running competition, but also promotes social awareness related to waste management by recycling waste to promote a circular economy.
"This year's event will be a lively affair with the theme Neon Glow Run. Besides being a competition, we hope this event can also become a forum for friendship and collaboration between alumni from different generations, faculties, communities, and the general public," said UI Ultra 2025 Executive Chair Yunita Randanan in a press conference at the University of Indonesia Campus, Salemba.
This year, UI Ultra experienced a significant increase in participants, reaching 5,840 participants, a drastic increase compared to 2024, when there were 3,600 participants.
The event, which will take place on the University of Indonesia campus in Depok on December 6-7, will feature a total of six categories: ultra individual, ultra relay 5, marathon, half marathon, 7K individual, and group 10.
Even in the half marathon and marathon categories, this edition of the tournament has been certified by the Indonesian Athletics Association (PASI), strengthening the position of this evening-to-morning running event as one of the prestigious events in Indonesia.
"This year, a portion of the funds raised through this event will be allocated to the University of Indonesia Endowment Fund and the ILUNI FEB UI Scholarship. This step reflects our dedication to supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and community service," said Ubaidillah Nugraha, Chairman of ILUNI FEB UI.
Head of Corporate Public Relations of PT Indofood Sukses Makmur Andrew Ferdinand Hallatu said that Indofood's participation in UI Ultra 2025 is a strategic step and is in line with encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle in the community.
"We believe that through this event, we can build synergy, not only for the advancement of sports in the country, but also to inspire a spirit of togetherness, solidarity, and a positive lifestyle, especially among the younger generation," said Andrew.
