Garmin Outdoor Series Ambassador, Alif Satar's #GengSubuhMacamJumaat brings together local running community

Over the weekend, local actor, singer and host, Alif Satar, teamed up with Garmin Run Club Malaysia to host a fun run as part of his movement #GengSubuhMacamJumaat, as Garmin's newly minted Outdoor Series Ambassador. 

The run marked the start of a continued partnership between Alif Satar and Garmin Malaysia in 2024, setting the stage for an exciting year of outdoor adventures. The fun run saw an estimated 780 running enthusiasts gather for morning prayers at the National Mosque, followed by a leisure run around the area, passing through the KL Bird Park and concluding the run back at the mosque. 

The run demonstrates the effort to continue empowering an active and health-conscious lifestyle, especially with Ramadan just around the corner. 

"We are excited to extend our journey with Alif Satar as the face of Garmin’s outdoor smartwatch series, as Garmin continues to inspire Malaysians to be more active, take on more explorations and experience personal growth through our cutting-edge outdoor series. Alif's adventurous spirit, as proven in his #GengSubuhMacamJumaat movement, perfectly aligns with our 'Beat Yesterday' campaign, which aims to encourage a healthy lifestyle and empower people to explore new adventures with Garmin's outdoor series,” shared Garmin Malaysia Marketing Team Lead, Sheena Sim. 

After prayers, Garmin Run Club coach Faiz Othman led the group with a safety briefing and warm-up session. Alif also bonded with participants throughout the run, reminding them to maintain an active lifestyle and sustainable routine even during Ramadan. 

“Three tips I would give for those looking to keep up with an active lifestyle is to, firstly, surround yourself with like-minded runners or individuals to act as your support system to ensure consistency. Second is to be slow and steady with your workout routine to avoid burning out and, lastly, to prepare your mind to achieve your physical goals as the mind is a powerful tool. Most importantly, remember to enjoy the process because fitness should be fun!” shared Garmin Brand Ambassador, Alif Satar. 

Alif continues to share his annual journey of staying healthy, especially during the Ramadan season, inspiring his fans to kick-start their days early, adopt healthy diets and commit to daily workouts for a more meaningful fasting season. His lifestyle serves as an example of dedication to health, exploration, self-improvement, and surpassing personal limits. 

"I am honoured to continue my journey with Garmin Malaysia. Our shared passion for adventure, commitment to a healthy lifestyle, and care for the local community make this a strong partnership. I look forward to inspiring Malaysians to embrace the outdoors, adopt the “Beat Yesterday” spirit to challenge more people to do a little more each day with and push themselves a bit harder each day with Garmin, just as I have also used my Garmin fēnix 7 Pro and Instinct 2X smartwatches for my day to day training," says Alif. 

Expressing enthusiasm for the partnership, Sheena Sim shared, “This collaboration with Alif Satar and #GengSubuhMacamJumaat is our effort to unite people of all backgrounds together and discover the joy in beating our personal records not only through running but also in other activities. Alif’s involvement is a testament to his exemplary integration of fitness into daily life while finding joy in staying outdoors and keeping active. We are thrilled to see many Malaysians join in this health movement to beat their yesterdays.”
