The run’s route takes runners through heritage buildings and locations starting from Padang Ipoh.” the race director, Madam Karen Loh said.

The Ipoh series will also be a fully physical run with no virtual categories. The event will also showcase an onsite expo.

“This time our event includes a one-of-a-kind category too, the full marathon duo; where two individuals can pair up to run the half marathon distance each while their combined distance and timing will be used to record their full marathon speed. This means lesser effort to complete a full marathon with the help of a friend” added Karen Loh.
