ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 is back on 07.07.13!

ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 is one of the run I'm waiting for. I remembered the ntv7 Feel Good Run 2012 was my 1st 7km run (after I graduated from uni) and that was the run bring me back to running. ^-^

The unhealthy lifestyle......

According to statistics released by the National Health and Morbidity Surveys, in 2011 alone, 15.1% of Malaysians aged 18 and above were suffering from obesity. To date, a staggering 75% of Malaysians do not include any exercise in their daily routine. Which is why as part of the station’s effort in giving back to the community, ntv7 is hopeful that its annual charity fun run can help change this unhealthy habit.

To commemorate the station’s big 15th year anniversary, the Feel Good Run this year will be more exciting than ever. This year, ntv7 has decided to keep its previous year’s slogan, ‘Do Good Feel Good’ as the station feels that the act of benevolence goes a long way and until that mission is accomplished with maximum satisfaction, the slogan remains a motivation factor for them to share the love.

Feel Good Run 2013 will be held on:

 7 July 2013

6.00am - 10.30am. 

The starting point will be at Sri Pentas, Bandar Utama, while the finishing line is at Central Park, One Utama. A variety of activities will be carried out at Central Park where runners and their families are encouraged to join in the fun.
In-conjunction with the channel’s 15th anniversary, the committee has decided on a special “15KM category” this year, while giving a chance for runners to take on a longer distance route than its previous years. Runners are allowed to pick their preferred category.
