These are a few things that make Sunway The Good Run 2019 totally unique:

1. Feel great knowing you're helping out a good cause, since all collections go to a cancer-focused organisation

All funds made from the participant registration fee will be given to a cancer-focused organisation with the hopes that it will help raise awareness of the plight that cancer warriors fight through in their battle with the illness.

It's a great way for you to give back to the community and promote healthy living at the same time. :)

2. Enjoy the sights and sounds as you participate in the only run to be held on the elevated BRT Sunway Line

The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Sunway Line is a bus route that connects various districts of Sunway City Kuala Lumpur. The best part of it all is the fact that it's elevated, which means there's absolutely no traffic!

Imagine being able to run above the ground AND enjoy the beautiful views at the same time. :D

3. In an effort to reduce waste, Sunway The Good Run will not be using any paper cups. Yay for the environment!

Instead, runners are encouraged to bring their own water bottles! Don't worry about running out of refreshment, as there will be water dispensers along the way for you to 'fuel up' at.

Register for the run here!

4. Bring your little ones along so they can enjoy all the fun with you and adopt a healthy lifestyle earlier on in life
