KUALA LUMPUR, 17 May 2025 – The Music Run, Asia’s most electrifying celebration of fitness and music, made an unforgettable return to Kuala Lumpur, marking its 10th anniversary with a high-octane event that drew over 15,000 participants to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
Staying true to its tagline – Run. Music. Party. – this year’s edition of The Music Run Malaysia featured its signature 5KM “Sound Track” route, powered by speakers pumping out heart-thumping beats from start to finish.
The event culminated in the LIVE THE BEAT Festival Show, headlined by The Music Run’s energetic E-Squad – a powerhouse lineup of emcees and DJs who kept the crowd pumped throughout the night. The live concert spotlighted Alex Ungku (@alexungku) with his chill yet vibrant R&B vibes, followed by rising pop star Claudia Tan (@claudiaaatan), and ended with an explosive performance by Malaysia’s #1 DJ, DJ Blink (@blink_mys), who transformed the venue into a pulsating music arena.
Organised by Fresh Events Asia Sdn. Bhd., The Music Run has evolved into a global movement, having hosted 40 events across the world, including 28 in Asia, and engaging over 350,000 participants. More than just a run, the event is a celebration of fitness, music, and community, fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and alcohol-free space especially popular among Gen Z and Millennials.
Speaking on the milestone event, Jeffrey Ross, General Manager of Fresh Events Asia, shared,
“Ten years ago, we set out to create something different — a run that wasn’t about time or competition, but about movement, music, and good vibes. Today, we’re proud to see how The Music Run has become a global platform that unites people through rhythm and energy.”
“We believe wellness isn’t just physical — it’s emotional too. Tonight, we hope the joy and togetherness experienced by our community remind everyone to prioritise positivity and well-being in their daily lives.”
Since its debut in Kuala Lumpur in 2014, The Music Run has expanded across Singapore, Taiwan, China, and more. The journey continues with upcoming editions slated for Dubai and the Philippines, furthering its mission to inspire active lifestyles worldwide.
