BRUNEI: IBTE Sultan Bolkiah Campus 5K Run Event - Tuesday, 12th May 2026, 0900 - 1000 hrs @ Institute of Brunei Technical Education (IBTE) Sultan Bolkiah Campus, Seria
Date: Tuesday, 12th May 2026
Time: 0900 - 1000
Route: Covers part of Jalan Dua Selatan
It is a project handled by our NTec in Business Management students as part of their ‘Event Planning and Administration’ assessment.
The run will take place at 0900, starting and finishing at our campus (as indicated on the above map). The designated route will cover part of Jalan Dua Selatan, passing through some of the housing areas before looping back towards the institute.
As part of our safety and coordination planning, we just wanted to ensure awareness and check if there are any concerns or procedures we should follow.
During this period, as our students will be using one lane of the road, this might cause occasional slowdowns for personnel and family members commuting between 0900 and 0945.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation in advance.
Should any further clarification be required, please do not hesitate to contact me Teacher Muhammad Afif (+673 830 5971 afif.abubakar@ibte.edu.bn).

“Due to this day of action and the lack of staff to ensure flight safety, Charleroi Airport will be unable to operate its scheduled flights,” a press release states. Passengers scheduled to fly that day will be contacted by their airline in the coming days regarding rebooking or refunds. The airport operator “regrets the impact and apologises for the inconvenience.”
Disruption also expected at Brussels Airport
Brussels Airport is asking airlines to reduce the number of departing passenger flights on 12th May and expects that, as a result, fewer than half of the scheduled departures will be able to take place.
