Running made fun at the Great Eastern LIVE GREAT Run 2019
Running made fun at the Great Eastern LIVE GREAT Run 2019 | The
Great Eastern LIVE GREAT Run 2019 brought 14,000 eager runners to the Bukit
Jalil National Stadium on 17 August, lighting up the iconic stadium for an
evening of healthy fun and family-friendly excitement.
Currently
in its eighth year, the Great Eastern LIVE GREAT Run was created to help
Malaysians achieve their health goals by demonstrating that leading an active
lifestyle can be an enjoyable and meaningful way to spend quality time with
loved ones. True to that aim, the event returned this year with its two staple
categories – the signature 12KM LIVE GREAT Run, and the fan favourite, the 5KM
Triple Fun Run.
Spirits
were high at the starting line when the event was officially flagged off by
Dato Koh Yaw Hui, Chief Executive Officer of Great Eastern Life Malaysia, who
was accompanied by the board of directors.
The
12KM LIVE GREAT Run challenged seasoned runners who aimed to surpass their
personal bests by putting their strength to the test, both mentally and
physically. Muhaizar Mohamad emerged as champion in the Men’s Open category by
completing the route in 42 minutes and 10 seconds, while Chooi Fern Loh clocked
a time of 51 minutes and 35 seconds to win the Women’s Open category, which
earned them both RM1,000 each.
The
5KM Triple Fun Run brought participants through three unique zones. The Triple
Fun Run once again proved to be the favourite to many as they were showered
with bubbles and foam in the Bubble Zone; soaked by water gun washdowns in the
Water Zone; and covered by slime, a brand new element in the Colour Zone.
The
fun continued beyond the route at the LIVE GREAT Carnival, where exciting
activities like big inflatables, classic carnival games, twinkling light
tunnel, giant snow globe, and Insta-worthy photo spots thrilled the crowd.
Participants
and visitors alike also indulged in a host of local and international
delicacies at the Carnival. In conjunction with Great Eastern Malaysia’s 111th
anniversary, food vouchers worth up to RM13.00 were offered to all, which
enabled them to enjoy the wide selection of delicious food at only RM1.10! In
addition, all Great Eastern Life policyholders enjoyed a special 10% discount
at the Carnival, exclusive access to a Chillout Zone, as well as complimentary
cold-pressed juice and salads.
The
event was brought to a close with a mesmerising display of fireworks, lighting
up the night sky over the bustling stadium grounds.
Organised
by Great Eastern Life Malaysia, the Great Eastern LIVE GREAT Run has been held
annually to popular acclaim with the support of its sponsors. This year, its
official sponsors were Counterpain, New Balance, 3M Futuro, Yogood, Anlene,
Garmin, Yakult, dahmakan, O’Briens, MyTOWN Shopping Centre, Himalaya Candy,

The
Great Eastern LIVE GREAT Run is one of the signature events under the Great
Eastern LIVE GREAT Programme, the first integrated health and wellness
initiative by an insurance company in the region. This holistic programme
consists of five key components: Wellness Tools, Health Tips, Mobile Apps,
Workshops and Events, and the LIVE GREAT Card, which provides exclusive health
