Join the Fun at Kuala Lumpur’s Premier Running Event

Kuala Lumpur is gearing up for a day of excitement and energy as the SHARP HSNKL Half Marathon returns to Dataran Merdeka on 20 October 2024.

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking for a fun way to stay active, this event promises something for everyone.

In its 2nd year, the SHARP HSNKL Half Marathon is more than just a race—a celebration of health, community, and the vibrant spirit of Kuala Lumpur.

The event aligns with Bulan Sukan Negara’s mission to promote a healthier, more active lifestyle across Malaysia.

With SHARP as the main sponsor, and in collaboration with Pure Events, the marathon aims to inspire Malaysians to embrace fitness as part of their daily lives.

This year’s event will offer four exciting race categories, catering to all levels of runners. For those seeking a challenge, the 21km Half Marathon takes runners through some of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic landmarks, offering breathtaking views of the city’s skyline, including the PETRONAS Twin Towers and Bukit Tunku.

The 10km Run, expected to be the highlight of the day, also showcases several prominent landmarks, while the 5km and 3km Fun Runs are perfect for families, beginners, and individuals with disabilities.

The run will transform Kuala Lumpur into a lively hub of athletic energy and community spirit, bringing together participants from diverse backgrounds.

From elite runners to families enjoying a day out, the event is set to be a festival of inclusivity and excitement. And with a prize pool that could reach up to RM100,000, including SHARP AQUOS 4K televisions, there’s even more reason to lace up and join the fun.

As part of its commitment to fostering a healthier nation, SHARP is marking its 40th anniversary in Malaysia by expanding its support for running events across the country.

The run also got support from a few partners, including Jabatan Belia dan Sukan Wilayah Kuala Lumpur, DBKL – CATS (Cultural Arts Tourism and Sports), and more, ensuring the event is a memorable experience for all.

The day’s festivities won’t end at the finish line. Participants and spectators alike can enjoy a health, fitness, and sports bazaar, food trucks, live entertainment, and much more at Dataran Merdeka.

It’s an opportunity to soak in the lively atmosphere and celebrate a shared passion for fitness and well-being.
