Celebrunner Photos: ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013



This run was on the cancellation watch list due to the haze problem a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, the atmosphere cleared up in time. So, the ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 proceeded as scheduled at Sri Pentas, Bandar Utama to celebrate ntv7’s 15th anniversary on 7 July, this morning!

We have been told that around 5,700 runners have signed up for the run. The run was graced by YB Tuan Khairy Jamaluddin, Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia during the flag-off sessions.



ntv7 Feel Good is a great place to star gaze. There are more than 80 celebrity runners taking part. Our problem is we are not able to recognize all of them. LOL!

So, here are some pics of the celebs we know. :)

Press Release: Reebok One Challenge 18.95km @ Putrajaya



WITNESS THE EVOLUTION OF ELITE COMPETITIVE RUNNING

REEBOK ONE CHALLENGE 18.95K – 22nd September ‘13
Putrajaya / Taman Cabaran

SUBANG JAYA 3RD July ‘13 – Reebok’s mission is to change the way people perceive, experience and define fitness and empower them to be physically, socially and mentally fit for life.
We recognize that running is changing and people are looking for more from their runs, which are becoming an integral part of their lifestyle.



Reebok is organizing a timed obstacle race called Reebok ONE challenge 18.95k on 22nd September ’13 at Putrajaya / Taman Cabaran, which would target the elite competitive runners. The Reebok One Challenge would be run over a distance of 18.95Kms and incorporate 9 obstacles, with varied difficulties and would give the runners a new challenge and encourage them to participate in a new form of fitness, which is gathering a large fan following globally. The registration for the race will open on 16th July ’13 and the participants can register online at Hooha.Asia. Race kit collection would happen on the 14th and 15th September ’13, and we would also be giving to the participants the option of getting the race kit delivered to their residence.



Reebok aims to own a recognizable unique race distance which defines and reflects to the brand’s heritage, 18.95KMs. To some it may be an odd distance but to our brand, this reflects the heritage of Reebok. 1895 is the year when a running shoe company was founded and named J.W. Foster and Sons which was later renamed to “REEBOK”.



The Reebok One Challenge would have two categories: Men’s Open and Women’s Open. It would be open to athletes between the age limits of 18 years and 50 years as of 31st December, 2013. The athletes would go through a series of challenges, over the course of 18.95 kms, and would take runners through a course which would incorporate road running, obstacles and off-road running in a single challenge.



The Reebok One Challenge would test the athletes on their cardio strength, upper body strength, core strength, endurance and most importantly on mental strength. All the athletes would be timed using a timing chip, which would be provided to them along with the race kit. All participants would be given a special PLAYDRY running vest, and all the finishers would receive a finisher tee and a medal.



The participants of the Reebok One Challenge would be competing for a total prize package of RM75,000 , including cash prizes of RM 5,600. The prizes would include prizes from sponsors Sharp, Toshiba, Fitness Concept, iON Camera, Ford, Optimum Nutrition and Chi Fitness.



In conjunction with the Reebok One Challenge, Reebok would be launching the latest technological breakthrough in running footwear, the Reebok One Series. The Reebok One Series is a shoe built from back to front, the way the foot moves. These shoes would be available in stores across Malaysia from July 2013.

Press Release: ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 to proceed as scheduled!



The Haze is Gone...The ntv7 Feel Good Run’s ON!

With the Air Pollutant Index (API) readings that have dropped by as much as 10 to 40 points in most areas including Petaling Jaya at 33, the ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 held at Sri Pentas, Bandar Utama, will proceed as scheduled to celebrate ntv7’s 15th anniversary on 7 July, this Sunday.

The decision has been made by its committee members following the significant improvement of the air quality in the peninsula as reported by the Department of Environment. For health precautions, the organiser will be taking additional measures to ensure that runners are well taken care of during the run.

With an expected 5,700 runners, the Feel Good Run 2013 will be graced by YB Tuan Khairy Jamaluddin, Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia during the flag-off sessions of the run.

“The ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 committee has been keeping a close watch on the haze situation in the country and thankfully, it has taken a turn for the better,” says Airin Zainul, Group General Manager of ntv7 & 8TV.

An avid runner herself, Airin couldn’t agree more that with the current healthy state, runners are definitely going back to their regular running routine. “Most runners have been staying indoors for the past two weeks due to the unhealthy API readings. With the current clear blue sky, runners will be even more pumped up than before to RUN,” says Airin.

“Aside from the runners who will be present on 7 July, the public are also invited to join in the celebration of ntv7’s 15th anniversary. There will be lots of activities and stage performances for the entire family happening at the finishing area at Central Park, Bandar Utama, such as lucky draw sessions, fundraising activities, food & beverage and many more,” Airin adds.

There will also be more than 80 celebrities running – the highest number of celebrity participation so far for any run held in the country. Amongst the celebrities who will be sweating it out on 7 July are Fara Fauzana, Hafiz Hatim, Low Ngai Yuen, Thanuja Ananthan, Nazrudin Rahman, Aishah Sinclair, Sasha Bashir, Charles Mohan, Jasmine Abu Bakar, Adam Zain, Baki Zainal, Debbie Goh, Frederick Lee, Leslie Chai, Adrian Tan and many more.

All proceeds from the run will be channeled equally to four beneficiaries – Hospis Malaysia, Malaysian Rare Disorders Society, Rumah Kanak-Kanak Tengku Budriah and SPCA Selangor.
