Initiated by Muse Group Asia and supported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia, HSN21KM run set to take place on 8 October 2016 in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
HSN21KM features three distances – 21km, 10km and 5km
Flagging off at the famous Padang Merbok, the 5km fun run is designed as an obstacle race, and there will be fun-filled obstacles for the whole family instead this time. It is also open to persons with disabilities, wheelchair-bound or otherwise.
Dataran Merdeka will be the flag-off point for the 21km race. The 21km route will pass through several known landmarks such as Bukit Tunku, Petronas Twin Towers and more.
The 10km race, which is expected to have the largest participation, will flag off at Jalan Raja Laut, also passing through several landmarks on its route. All three races will end at Dataran Merdeka.
Attractive Prizes
The prize purses being offered for the various categories are large, with up to RM36,000 to be won. The winner of the 21km Open Men’s and Women’s categories can look forward to a RM7,000 cash prize with various purses offered up to 6th placing in the 21km Open and Veterans’ categories for both men and women. Cash prizes are also offered to the top five finishers in the 10km race – for the Open and Veterans, and Men and Women’s categories.
