KUALA LUMPUR, 13 Oct 2017:
KL Sports City at Bukit Jalil is set to become a healthy party zone on Nov 4 with the fourth edition of The Music Run by AIA Vitality.
This year’s event will be the first in the world to see the addition of a new timed 10km track, allowing Music Runners in KL to take their fitness game to new highs.
The Music Run held its inaugural event in Kuala Lumpur in 2014 and since then has been experienced by more than 200,000 runners across 25 events and 12 countries from Malaysia to South Africa.
Last year’s KL event saw a record 20,000 runners packed Sepang International Circuit for the 5km run, culminating in an epic finish line music festival.
AIA Bhd chief marketing officer Eric Chang said in a statement: “It is our mission to help people everywhere live longer, healthier and better lives and The Music Run is an excellent way to show Malaysians that exercise can be fun. It doesn’t matter whether you’re walking, running or dancing through the track – every step counts in making a positive change to your life.”
This year, Music Runners can choose either the 5km or 10km distance – either one loop or two loops of an upgraded run course, dubbed the Sound Track.
This year’s Sound Track include brand new ‘Inspo Zones’ – which will replace five music zones. Runners will now hear a single playlist throughout the entire course designed to inspire and motivate participants throughout the run.
With speakers every 50m blasting 150,000 watts of the best running beats, this promises to be a fitness high like none other, said Chang.
Malaysia’s favourite rock band Kyoto Protocol will entertain runners prior to their warm up, while runners can look forward to an electric finish line party by returning DJ Sam Withers from Australia.
Interested participants can register for the event through www.themusicrun.com.my. Tickets start at RM90 with free entry for kids under five.
