AK Balloon Run, Avenue K’s highly anticipated run returns bigger than ever for the fifth consecutive iteration that will take place on Aug 25 at Avenue K’s main entrance.
The seven-kilometer signature fun run will take place in the vicinity of the mall taking up KL City Center’s scenic route along Jalan Ampang, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Pinang.
The uniqueness of AK’s Balloon Run lies with the balloons that are given to all runners which work as “time boosters”. Each participant will be provided with four balloons that represents 10 seconds each which they can tie on their bodies.
A five second deduction from each participant’s official finishing time will be imposed for any lost or burst balloon upon the completion of the run. This continued tradition has given the event its very own signature, turning the AK Balloon Run into what it is today.
“We are excited to usher the return of our iconic run and to join participants from all walks of life as we celebrate unity through fitness and fun. We are extremely proud of the accomplishment achieved from this run throughout the years and are looking forward to welcome participants with our sponsors and AFO Radio DJs Agnes and Mag hosting the event along with DJs Kym, Beauty, Ryan, Jeremy Teo, Joel Kuan, Kenny Tan and Miss Malaysia Earth Eco Tourism Adelina Chan joining this year’s run,” said AK general manager Phang Sze Sze.
Participants for the run will also receive an AK Balloon Run string bag, race bib, microfibre interlock t-shirt and balloons, as well as goodies from sponsors of the event such as 100plus, Skechers, Hexos Candy and much more.
An AK Balloon Run 5.0 medal will be given to those who complete the run and the top runners from each category will take home cash prizes worth over RM10,000.
