Sudaji Peace Trail Fun Run 2026 Blends Organic Farming and Local Businesses in Buleleng

On September 20, 2026, the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) of Sudaji Village in Sawan District, Buleleng Regency, Bali, held the Sudaji Peace Trail Fun Run 2026. Hundreds of runners took part in a trail race winding through green rice paddies, with the event designed not merely as a sports competition but as an opportunity to experience local village life, organic farming practices, traditional cuisine, and products from the village's small and micro businesses (UMKM).

The event's launch was presided over by Bali Tourism Agency Head I Wayan Sumarajaya, representing the Governor of Bali, along with Ny. Putri Suastini Koster, head of the provincial family welfare movement (PKK) and provincial handicraft council, and Buleleng Deputy Regent Gede Supriatna. Activities included the opening of a UMKM market, the spreading of eco-enzyme and organic fertilizer along the trail, a tree-planting initiative, and a joint declaration titled 'Beautiful Sudaji Without Plastic, Unique Sudaji With Organic Farming.'

Organizers described the event as a concrete implementation of Bali's 'Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali' vision, positioning Sudaji Village as a pioneer in organic-based eco-agrotourism. Buleleng officials praised the village as a regional asset with international recognition, expressing support for community-driven initiatives. The event committee chair emphasized that the race was intended as a gradual, sustainable way to introduce the village's local potential rather than a one-off competition.

For foreign visitors, this offers an example of experience-based tourism distinct from Bali's typical coastal or urban attractions, showcasing a sustainable rural tourism model centered on organic agriculture and community involvement in inland Buleleng.
