MPIB RUN 2015 - Postponed to 11 January 2015
MPIB RUN 2015 has been postponed to 11 January 2015
Kuala Lumpur, 3 December 2014 – Multi-Purpose Insurans Bhd (“MPIB”) wishes to inform the postponement of its Race to 11 January 2015 from 4 January 2015 as originally scheduled. However, the venue will remain the same at the Padang Merbuk.
Project Leader Ms. Jayne Liew comments, ‘We would very much like to continue to be known as the 1st Sunday Run of the Year but due to its being held on the same morning as the “1st Sunday Kuala Lumpur Car Free Morning” of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (“DBKL”), we have been requested to postpone our Race in support of this environmentally inspired campaign.’
MPIB Run shares DBKL’s aspiration in promoting a greener city, reduce global warming and to add to it a car-free morning to promote community bonding. In the process, it will make Kuala Lumpur a better city with space for walking, running, biking and in general more healthy outdoor activities, at least for the 1st Sunday morning of the month. MPIB extends its sincere apologies for causing any inconvenience and seeks understanding for the postponement. Should any registered Runner decide to opt out due to other commitments on 11 January 2015, arrangements are in place with My Race Online to make the necessary refunds by contacting info@myraceonline.com or calling +603-7491 0505 (Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.).
Runners running with coupon codes but unable to make it for the new Race date are advised to contact Natalie at natalie_hau@mpib.com.my or +603-2034 9888 Ext: 7807.
The withdrawal period for both registered runners and runners with coupon codes is 5 working days (between 4 December 2014 and 10 December 2014 by 5 p.m.).
The Race Entry Pack Collection details for city folks will take place as planned on 27 and 28 December 2014. However, the collection for outstation runners will only be held on 10 January 2015 instead of 3 January 2015.
Despite this setback, MPIB looks forward to organising another successful community run for all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. To be held again at the Padang Merbuk, the 4th MPIB Run will have 6 competitive categories, namely 3 categories each for the 12KM and 9KM (a new challenge for those who participated in the 8KM distance of the previous Run). There will also be 2 Fun Run categories of 5KM, while runners’ family members and friends who prefer something “lighter” can opt to join the 3KM walk.
The run’s Organising Committee encourages the public to make regular visits to the MPIB Run official website at http://www.mpibrun.com.my/ or its Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MPIBRun for the latest updates.

MPIB Run 2015 - Run for a Healthy Start to 2015
The 1st Sunday Run of 2015 sees good response with not many slots left
Ms Jayne Liew, the Project Leader said ‘Registration started very well with many taking up the early bird offer when registration commenced in August but it slowed a bit during the Hari Raya Adilfitri and Deepavali holidays. However, we are seeing an increased no. of registrations these 2 weeks after the launch of our My First Run Clinic in mid-October. There are not many slots left now and we are certainly happy to observe that many registrants are new runners joining our Run for the 1st time. Another factor could be the year is fast coming to a close and many are signing up to begin 2015 with health on their minds.”
Multi-Purpose Insurans Run (MPIB Run), a community run in its 4th year is the 1st Sunday Run of Year and will be happening on 4 January 2015 at the Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur. It hopes to gather 5,000 new and interested runners to take up running as a healthy recreational activity and to kick-start the year on a healthy note.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Kuala Lumpur, 6 January 2014
On Sunday 5 January 2014, Padang Merbuk, Kuala Lumpur was again transformed into a carnival ground with more than 5,002 runners and their family members joining the 1st Sunday community run of 2014!
It was certainly a healthy start to Year 2014 and in the breakfast pack, participants were happy to find 2 mandarin oranges reminding them that the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday is just around the corner. Back for the 3rd year, MPIB Run 2014 started the New Year with a “Healthy Lifestyle-Work Life Balance” resolution by warming up to a vigorous aerobic conducted by Pilatique. Many arrived as early as 5:00 a.m. to get a good spot in front of the stage to follow every step of the instructors.
It was also an opportunity for runners to donate their pre-loved running or sports shoes to the Orang Asli Community. Since the Launch of “Project Good Deed Shoes 2014” on 6th December 2013, 195 pairs of shoes were collected before Race Day. On Race Day, a total of 54 pairs were collected and in total, the collection amounted to 249 pairs.
This year, we are happy to have familiar as well as new faces claiming winners’ title. It was indeed an encouraging response from the community, seeing an increase of participation in the Run. The 12 km Men categories were the 1st to be flagged off at 7:00 a.m. sharp followed by other categories of the Run.
Apart from the serious running categories, there was also 3KM Fun Walk category for those who prefer breeze walking and many family members and friends of the Runners registered to join in the fun. Many of them came as supporters for the Runners and took the opportunity to have an early morning walk. Overall, the 10 categories’ Run was not only participated by the public, but also by employees & business associates of MPIB and the main & co-sponsors of the Run.
30 out of 5,000 participants are students from Sunway University, Taylor’s University and Tunku Abdul Rahman University College whom are selected beneficiaries of Alliance Bank Malaysia Berhad, New Balance and MPIB sponsorship-entrance fees to MPIB Run 2014, Alliance Bank Debit Mastercard and New Balance running gears, attire & shoes.
80 top runners from the 8 competitive categories walked away with prizes sponsored by New Balance; product vouchers and caps, Revive Isotonic; isotonic drinks for the top 3 runners, Pilatique private classes and 1 month Pilates unlimited group mat classes for the Champions and KT Tape for all winners.
Apart the 8 competitive categories, 5 lucky runners from the 5 KM categories who had a lucky number card ending with the digit ‘8’ walked away with lucky prizes while 2 fancy dress runners were rewarded for their effort.
The Organizing Committee Leader, Ms. Jayne Liew from MPIB said “We would like to thank all runners, main sponsors, co-sponsors, the Organizing Committee, Volunteers and all those involved in the Run for making the Run a success and congratulations to all winners from the eight categories as well as the lucky winners from the 5km fun walk and kudos to the Fancy Dress Runners for adding more colours to the carnival. We would also like to express our gratitude to all donors of pre-loved shoes for taking the trouble and for their generosity. We look forward to their participation in the Multi-Purpose Insurans Run 2015 on 4 Jan 2015. See you again on the 1st Sunday of 2015!”
