THE Coway Run 2020: Change The Game is poised to be an exciting month-long event that allows participants from across the country to run anywhere and anytime from Nov 1 to 29.
Malaysian citizens or residents in the country (aged 16 and above) can participate in the non-timed 40km run, which allows runners to run at a comfortable speed to gradually progress from levels one to four within that period.
Fun and interactive elements have been injected with the aim to motivate participants to complete the run within the stipulated time.
It involves a “level-up” gaming experience through which runners can collect achievement badges when they complete significant milestones.
These are: Level 1 (first 3km), Level 2 (10km), Level 3 (20km) and Level 4 (40km).
The run will also include the weekly Sunday Boss Fight rounds from 7am to 11am offering runners, who clock in a minimum of 1km during the allotted time frame, the opportunity to vie for attractive weekly prizes.
Participants are also required to sync their running or fitness app to their VRace by Sportheroes account — a purpose-built platform for virtual running events — to allow participants to record the distance covered.
The run is also pegged to a charitable cause, whereby RM10 from each ticket purchased will be channelled to Coway’s Happy Water Project which funds initiatives to provide clean water and promote good hygiene practices among Orang Asli communities nationwide.
This year, more than 300 families are expected to benefit from the five-year project which aims to support the needs of 1,000 Orang Asli families by the end of 2021.
