For Aisyah Affan, running is more than a sport, it is a daily routine built on discipline and perseverance.
The 22-year-old Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons) International Business student recently stood out at the FOI Run Challenge 2025, the maiden run organised by the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE).
Held during the Festival IDEA Putrajaya, Aisyah achieved 1st Runner-Up in the 10KM Women’s Individual Category and set a new personal best.
Aisyah has been training every day since 2022, steadily turning her passion into results.
She began competitive running in school, participating in Track & Field events for Majlis Sukan Sekolah Daerah Sepang, but has since shifted her focus to road running, competing in 5KM, 10KM, and half-marathon categories.
Her dedication has earned her multiple podium finishes throughout the year, including a Top 10 finish at the KL Standard Chartered Marathon in the 10KM Women Open category, one of Malaysia’s most prominent running events.
Looking ahead, Aisyah is preparing for the Pos Malaysia Run 2025, competing in the 10KM Women Open category on 22 November 2025.
