Last Dash to Run!
Standard
Chartered contest to win 100 registration slots to run in the
Standard
Chartered KL Marathon 2013
Kuala
Lumpur, 31 March 2013 – Celebrating its 5th
year, Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Bhd, the title sponsor of Standard
Chartered KL Marathon (SCKLM) held a “Last Dash to
Run” contest yesterday for the public to win 100 registration slots in the
upcoming SCKLM 2013.
Participants clad in blue and green gathered early for the
flag-off at Jalan P.Ramlee. The first 100 runners to arrive at the finish line
at the Standard Chartered KL Park won a coveted spot to participate in
SCKLM2013.
The contest was organised to allow more runners’ to participate in
the Marathon on 30 June 2013, through Standard Chartered’s own allocation of
registration slots. Due to overwhelming response, SCKLM public registration
closed at 33,000 within six (6) weeks, taking many by surprise and leaving ardent
runners without a slot to run in the Marathon.
Standard Chartered said, “This is just one way in which we can
help more runners participate in the Marathon.”
The event was joined by EPL Legends, Dietmar Hamann and Dennis
Wise, who don their running shoes to encourage the runners. The Legends were in
town to launch the Standard Chartered EPL 2013, a local football tournament
between EPL Legends and Malaysian All-Stars team, coming up in April.
