The first stop of the Hangzhou Asian Games Fun Run Series will kick off this month in Kuwait, which is the headquarters of the Olympic Council of Asia.

Since the 15th Asian Games in Doha in 2006, the Fun Run Series, organized by the council, has brought people together from different walks of life and enabled them to share the excitement.

The last Fun Run Series, the 18th Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia in 2018 featured a total of 31 events in 28 countries and regions in Asia.

At a news conference on Tuesday, Husain Al-Musallam, director-general of the Olympic Council of Asia, said he hopes that Hangzhou Asian Games Fun Run Series can deliver a healthy and active lifestyle.
