The first-ever #GoHyper Splash Dash Fun Run by Hypergear Malaysia drew more than 4000 participants despite the drizzle. The event was held at the scenic Malaysian Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS), Selangor last Sunday.
The family-friendly 5km Fun Run attracted children as young as three years old and up. The Splash Dash Edition saw participants having a fun-filled time running fearlessly through a series of fun water obstacles in the wettest conditions.
Participants received a medal and food at the snack station for a fast energy boost after completing their run. There were also special game booths and water warzones at the carnival area for the participants to enjoy.
Jack Lee, Managing Director of Hypergear Malaysia, expressed his delight at the event’s attendance of 4,000 Malaysians. In his opening speech, Jack stated that more exciting events, such as hiking and diving, would be held in the future to promote fitness and health awareness in the community.
Jack added that part of the proceeds from the event were donated to Team #KeluargaMalaysia to help fund their Antarctic expedition.
First trio to scale Antarctica’s highest mountain
Ravi Everest (T.Ravichandran), Abang Polar (Mohd Khairizal Mohd Khalif) and Son of the Sun (Tom Ng Wei Siang) who comprise Team #KeluargaMalaysia, will be the first trio to scale Antarctica’s highest mountain, Vinson Massif.
The trio hope to raise awareness about the effects of global warming through their expedition. As a result, they will be using snow sleds to navigate their journey in a sustainable manner.
The team also wished to encourage the public to take every precaution possible to reduce their carbon footprint by planting a plant each year to repopulate the earth with greens in order to mitigate the effects of global warming.
In the days leading up to their expedition, Ravi Everest, Abang Polar, and Son of the Sun would go through rigorous sustainable training’s to test their endurance, physique, and mind.
“Here at Hypergear, we pledge to support Team #KeluargaMalaysia as we wish to see the future generations continue to carry the torch for a healthier and more connecting community. Hypergear too is built and sustained on the foundation of encouraging society to “Get Out There” and take on more adventures without limitations or doubts. With this principle, we are delighted to sponsor the trio and support the cause.”, added Jack.
Malaysian freestyle footballer ZeemAhmad and the MAD Dodgeball National Team,
which just returned from the Canada World Dodgeball Tournament also made an appearance at the event.
Jack added that Hypergear hopes to bring on board many more outdoor enthusiasts to encourage Malaysians to get outside.
