First 10km evening run in KL a hit

Evening run: The runners starting the race in Jalan Ampang.

THE Nike We Run KL, which was the first 10km run held in the evening in Kuala Lumpur, attracted about 12,000 participants. Participants in the unique event were flagged off in Jalan Ampang and had to run through Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (Akleh) and pass by the Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Tower.

Along the way, runners were kept entertained by dancers and performances comprising different music genres. From the street beats of hip-hop to the energetic sounds of K-Pop music, the runners were spurred on from the start.
