When Music + Running ➔ Music Run
My first Music Run was back in year 2014 and it was so fun to run at the 'Sound Track' run course features with great music.
Yay! Our all time favourite Music Run is back this on 23
November 2019 for the sixth consecutive year with its new presenting partner, CIMB! This year, the Music Run with takes place at National Stadium @ KL Sports City.
Dubbed ‘Asia’s fittest party’, The Music Run by CIMB connects
urbanites with two of the world’s favourite pastimes – music and running. Combining
these two elements, the event takes the form of a 5-kilometre (5K) and
10-kilometre (10K) running race with more than 100 speakers lining the entire Sound Track circuit, culminating in what
is regarded as the world’s best finish line party. With a giant stage
showcasing local bands, top DJs and the renowned Live The Beat show, this
high-octane event provides a one-of-a-kind, safe, healthy and enjoyable experience
for all participants. An important facet of this year’s event is the push
towards sustainability and eco-awareness, making Asia’s fittest party arguably
also the most eco-friendly!
Mohamed Adam Wee Abdullah, Group Chief
Marketing Officer, CIMB Group enthused, “We are excited to partner with The
Music Run this year and look forward to offering a super-fun experience to all
participants, especially CIMB customers. This carbon-neutral mass participation
event ties in well with CIMB’s focus on championing sustainability principles
to ensure the well-being of our planet and future generations. So, what better
way to have a healthy day out than knowing we’re part of a carbon-neutral event
while also having fun running a music-filled route throughout?”
“There’s certainly a lot to look forward to in 2019 as we
introduce more elements to make The Music Run by CIMB bigger, faster and better,
whilst at the same time making a concerted effort to lead
the industry in event sustainability practices. Besides the already unique
nature of The Music Run by CIMB, we’re taking an active stance to reduce single
use plastic usage, are endeavouring to be Malaysia’s first carbon-neutral
mass-participation event and will be implementing an industry-leading recycling
and waste-management programme,” says Sam Middlehurst, Co-Founder and Managing Director
of The Music Run.
“We’re excited to welcome CIMB as the event’s Presenting
Partner, as we share a vision to create a more sustainable future whilst
inspiring young Malaysians to lead more active lifestyles and live today better
than yesterday,” said Middlehurst.
The Music Run by CIMB originated in Malaysia
and held its inaugural run in Kuala Lumpur in 2014 to a crowd of 6,000 and has
since been experienced by more than 250,000 participants across 35 events in 13
countries. Last year’s event saw a sell-out crowd of 20,000 participants pack
the National Stadium at KL Sports City. With exciting changes fuelled by the
partnership with CIMB, this year’s event is poised to be another sell out and the
biggest and best yet.
Besides having the unrivalled opportunity of participating in a
standout event, participants of The Music Run by CIMB will receive a limited
edition finisher medal and a Run Pack containing a high-quality runner’s
t-shirt, a re-usable drawstring bag replete with a car sticker, temporary
tattoos and quality goodies from brand partners.
This year, cash and
partner-supplied prizes are also up for grabs for the top five finishers in
each timed race category, with an additional cash bonus for the Malaysian
National with the best finish time in each timed race category.
