Curve Merdeka Food Run 2025 set to double the fun

The highly anticipated Curve Merdeka Food Run is making a triumphant return on 30 August 2025, promising double the excitement and participation compared to its 2024 debut. With an expected 3,000 runners, the event blends the thrill of a 5KM fun run with the irresistible allure of Malaysian street food, in a uniquely local celebration that places community and cultural pride at its heart.

Set to flag off at 7.30am from the Piazza at the Curve, Mutiara Damansara, this year’s run brings back crowd-favourite food pit stops along the route, serving delicious Malaysian treats such as nasi lemak, satay, curry puffs, and other local delights. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a casual runner, or simply in it for the food, the event offers something for everyone.

“The Curve Merdeka Food Run in 2025 comes with even more excitement and energy,” said En Jazmi Kamarudin, Chief Operations Officer of Boustead Properties Berhad. “Malaysians have always shared a strong bond over food, and what better way to celebrate Merdeka than by uniting people through two of our national passions – food and togetherness.”

Celebrating Malaysian identity

More than just a fun event, the Curve Merdeka Food Run is part of a broader initiative by the Curve to champion health, heritage, and harmony. By integrating traditional food with physical activity, the run underscores the mall’s ongoing efforts to promote wellness within a cultural context.

“It’s more than a run – it’s a journey through Malaysia’s vibrant culinary heritage, where every step brings you closer to the tastes that unite us,” the organisers said. The event is open to all, welcoming everyone from seasoned runners to families with children, colleagues on team-building outings, and even first-time joggers.

Registrations are open until 3 August 2025, with discounted rates for groups of four, making it easier for friends and families to take part. Companies can also register under corporate packages, ideal for encouraging employee wellness and fostering camaraderie through shared physical activity.

Flavours, festivities, and prizes

Participants will not only enjoy a morning of fitness and flavours but also stand a chance to win prizes worth RM10,000 in a lucky draw at the end of the event. It’s a sweet finale to a day packed with movement, laughter, and meaningful connections.

The Curve Merdeka Food Run 2025 also serves as a highlight of the mall’s month-long Merdeka Campaign, running throughout August. Anchored in themes of national pride, the campaign will include festive activities, cultural showcases, and community engagements aimed at honouring Malaysia’s independence and multicultural legacy.

Whether you’re in it for the sweat, the sambal, or the spirit of Merdeka, the Curve Merdeka Food Run 2025 is a perfect way to celebrate what it means to be Malaysian — together.
