Night Run Series for 2016. Runners, we can expect three times the fun from the
Men’s Health Women’s Health Night Run as the popular night run series goes
nationwide. In addition to Putrajaya, this run will now also take place in
Penang and Johor, making this the largest run series in the country.

| Malaysia’s Largest Night Run Series 2016 - Men’s Health Women’s Health Night Run |
Expected total of 33,000 runners will enjoy the starlit scenery of
three of Malaysia’s most exciting and liveliest cities as they challenge
themselves over a 5km, 12km or 21km course. Entry fees are set at RM78, RM88
and RM98 respectively for these distances, with a 10% discount for anyone
running all three.
Runners who do complete all three runs will also be rewarded with
a unique “trifecta” medal - a three-in-one medal that clips together – as a
special memento to commemorate the experience and achievement. Each participant
will also get an exclusive high quality running shirt, fantastic goodie bag of
gifts and cash vouchers at each of the three locations.

for Johor.

I think night runs are cool, figuratively and literally. I've worked before with the PR department of Men's Health and Women's Health in the Philippines. We had this Urbanathlon and it was fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Very interesting. That's a huge event to have over 33,000 runners involved. That's awesome. Malaysia is beautiful and it will be an amazing experience for all no doubt. Keep it up. Loved the post.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it will be a great race. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do any of those runs though. I'm no fun at running. That's also a lot of runners too.
ReplyDeletei love night runs simply because the sun is resting somewhere. hahaha. the cold night air also adds up to the excitement.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see them promoting good health by coming up with a fun night run! It would be nice to be a part of this event!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried night runs in my whole life, but it sounds pretty nice and fun. If we have it here, I would gladly join.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally exciting as it's like breaking the record and making history. Runners should have their own flashlight and safety kit. :)
ReplyDeleteAs longs as its safe, I'd prefer late night runs over evening runs! Even the pollution kind of settles down over late night, so its better for outdoor activities.
ReplyDeleteWith more and more people adapting and embracing healthier lifestyles, I am positive that this night run series will be a huge success. PLUS, I think it's a lot easier to run a night. Lol. It's not as hot compared to when you run during the day.
ReplyDeleteAwesome event promoting fitness and good health habits among men and women! We need more of this in Manila! :D
ReplyDeleteI like night runs too as you don't have to worry about the heat. I should really try running in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful initiative to promote men and women's health! I have been wanting to join a fun run or a marathon, but that remains in the bucket list up to now. :P Hope you'll have a great time, if you're running in April! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think running at night is quite practical since it is less warm. However, at the end of the race you will be so tired and sleepy, it may be difficult to drive home safely.
ReplyDeleteAll 3? That's 38 km, that's a very long distance!!!! All the best Kelly. Its my birthday on the race day... :) :) :)
ReplyDelete33k runners? Now that's a lot! It would be awesome to be part of such a grand event. Goodluck :)
ReplyDeleteHello Malaysia! I miss you! Largest indeed. What a number of runners! I am sure this would be fun! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between the Open and Veteran categories? Are there specific guidelines to be qualified to each one?
