Press Release: The 9th edition of Mizuno Wave Run 2014 is back again on the 24th August 2014.



The Mizuno Wave Run is organized by World Of Sports to reward our loyal customers for their support in Mizuno & at the same time to promote living a healthy lifestyle thru sports for all. The 1st Mizuno Wave Run was organized in 2005 with about 900 participants for its inaugurated year while the last Mizuno Wave Run in 2013 attracted about 4,400 participants. This year’s event is expected to attract 5,000 participants. Mizuno run started as a 10km casual run but over the years have grown to be one of the popular running event in the Klang Valley. Since the introduction of the 16km distance in 2013, it has seen more hard-core runners taking part now onwards.

This year’s venue will remain in Putrajaya but will see new categories been introduced. In 2013, it was a 16km competitive & a 7km fun run distance, while this year the 16km competitive distance will still be held, the 7km fun run has been upgraded to 10km distance due to popular demand from last year’s participants. We see this as a positive change as runners now are getting more confidence and wants to challenge themselves to a more competitive distance. We believe the beautiful scenery, a safety route to offer & perfect running condition in Putrajaya will see more runners taking part again this year.


The 16km distance is seen as training regime to participants who wish upgrade oneself to the more popular & tough 21km distance. For those who are not ready to take the challenge in the 16km distance can remain in the 10km distance which are a more popular distance for the casual or beginners taking part.
