This is an increase of 4% over the no. of registrations for the 12 KM and 8 KM categories in MPIB Run 2013.

MPIB Run Event Leader Jayne Liew said “we are delighted with the response to our 3rd MPIB Run. Our community based public run based on the theme “Healthy Lifestyle – Work Life Balance” is for all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. We are happy to note too that there is an increase in registrants for the competitive categories as compared to the MPIB 2013 Run. We see this as an encouraging sign that there is a growing community of runners who have taken up running seriously as part of their keep fit routine.” 

In preparation for the Run, MPIB is calling on the public to take part as volunteers in the Run and for runners who have registered, to join the scheduled “My First Run Clinics”, especially for first-time runners.
