During race pack collection, runners can expect a host of activities to engage them into getting ready for the race.

It is also an opportunity to trial one of this season's running shoe, the Nike LunarGlide+4 Shield.

T-shirt Customization: Runners can stand out among the 15.000 participants with t-shirt customization services available during race pack collection day. Runners who have participated and completed Nike+ Missions set on Facebook and Twitter - "Rock your Run", "High Miller" and "The Super Runner" - will earn badges that can be applied onto their race t-shirt. Application of the badge is offered to all registered We Run KL 2012 runners who have participated and completed the Nike Missions.

On race day, runners can expect an entertaining experience pre-race, during the race and post-race.

As runners run through the scenic route set against some of Kuala Lumpur's iconic landmarks, dancers will perform to cheer on and motivate runners along the way to a variety of beats and sounds at various points of the entire route.

At the race village, both participants and public can look forward to a high-energy evening of performances by local artistes such as Mizz Nina, SonaOne, Arbyrd, Altimet, Zel and renowned DJs Blink and Goldfish. Food and beverage will be sold to participants or them to refuel and recharge after the run. There will also be fun photo-booths to take pictures with their friends to mark the memorable evening.

As part of Nike's commitment to developing at the grassroots level in Malaysia, Nike will donate to Dignity for Children to funds the foundation's sport program. It is a non-profit organization that believes quality and holistic education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Nike We Run KL will flag-off at 5:30 pm at Jalan Ampang on 13 Oct 2012, with runners finishing and celebrating at the race village located at Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur. This is Nike's first evening run taking place in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

The 15,000 Malaysian runners will be part of the global We Run race movement that will expect a total of 395,500 runners from 34 cities across the globe running. It will forge a new global community of runners through Nike's most connected race series with innovative Nike+ technology.
