UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) will once again be having the Toyota Start Your Impossible (SYI) Outrun next month. The event is an inclusive charity run that goes beyond physical fitness to celebrate human resilience, unity, and compassion.
Initiative started by Toyota Motor Corporation
SYI Outrun is a key part of Toyota’s global Start Your Impossible campaign, a movement initiated by Toyota Motor Corporation to mark its transition from an automotive company to a mobility company — one that enables freedom of movement for all. As part of Toyota’s global initiative, this event inspires individuals to overcome barriers, support one another, and move toward a better, more inclusive tomorrow.
Reinforcing corporate responsibility
UMWT adopted this campaign in Malaysia to reinforce its commitment to social responsibility and to strengthen its position as a leader in innovative mobility solutions. “At Toyota, we believe movement isn’t just about machines — it’s about people progressing as a society. The Outrun reflects our belief that movement can lead to connection, healing, and change,” said Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor.
“For the first time ever, we’re introducing a 21KM Half Marathon — an exciting new challenge that symbolises how far we’ve come together, and how much further we can go. It’s a powerful step forward for the event, one that celebrates endurance, determination, and community spirit. The Outrun brings people together across communities, uniting personal goals with a greater purpose. That’s what Start Your Impossible is truly about,” he added.
SYI Outrun 2025 will be held at Dataran Wawasan in Putrajaya on Sunday, July 27, 2025. Besides the new 21-km route, there are also the 10-km competitive run and 5-km fun run. Participants can choose the category that they feel best suited for but the minimum age is 5 years old.
The debut of the 21KM Half Marathon underscores the Outrun’s growth as a platform not only for health and inclusivity but also for personal breakthroughs and athletic aspiration. It represents Toyota’s drive to go further, enabling individuals to start their impossible and test their endurance in a meaningful way.
RM138,000 prize pool
Each competitive category includes divisions such as Men’s Open, Women’s Open, Veterans, and Malaysia-specific classes, encouraging diversity and inclusivity across all races. A record-breaking RM138,000 prize pool awaits the top 10 finishers in both the 10KM and 21KM runs, Toyota’s way of honouring both competitive spirit and community engagement. Beyond medals and race bibs, every participant receives a performance running kit.

Since it was first introduced in 2019, the Outrun has raised over half a million ringgit for causes championing accessibility and wellness, including the Paralympic Council of Malaysia and the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM). The 2025 edition continues this legacy by focusing its support on Malaysians affected by cancer, while fostering an environment of strength, support, and community.
