The event is scheduled to flag off at 6:00AM on Sunday, 29 September, at Padang Merbok Kuala Lumpur. It features three distances – Fun Run (6.2KM + Fun Zone), 10KM and 15KM, with entry fees set at RM75, RM80 and RM85 respectively. Adopting a greener approach to the run, Pos Malaysia has taken steps to produce the running tee using 100% recycled materials. To reduce carbon emissions, race packs will be delivered to participants directly in eco-friendly packaging via Pos Malaysia’s electric vehicles, thereby eliminating the need to drive to a race collection venue. Additionally, on the day of the event, Pos Malaysia’s electric bikes will be used for marshal and operational support. All participants who complete their runs can also expect to receive finisher medals made from recycled plastic zip ties and metal.
