More than 600 fitness enthusiasts participated in two fun runs aimed at fostering healthy and active lifestyles among Malaysians.
The Sports Paragon Run 2022 flagged off from Tropicana Gardens Mall with more than 500 runners on Sept 24. Both 3km and 5km routes proceeded past the picturesque grounds of Seri Selangor Golf Club and Tropicana Golf & Country Resort before returning to the mall.
While the Tropicana go-go-FIT Park Adventure Race on Sept 25 drew over 100 participants in 20 teams to a series of challenges in Tropicana Metropark’s Urban Park in Subang Jaya. Challenges ranged from solving number puzzles and fitness tests to the “Footsteps to Healthy Pathway” activity.
Besides the run, the Tropicana go-go-FIT campaign also held a mini wellness fair which offered educational sessions such as free health screenings and mental health assessments as well as a juice making workshop.
“It was our pleasure to work with Sports Paragon as venue sponsor for its inaugural Sports Paragon Run 2022, while organising the Tropicana go-go-FIT Park Adventure Race, as we foster fitness and health as a fun part of everyday life,” said Tropicana deputy chief executive officer Joanne Lee.
“At the same time, these events showcased the accessibility and connectivity in and around Tropicana Gardens Mall and Tropicana Indah, as well as the generous open spaces and facilities of the Urban Park in Tropicana Metropark, in line with Tropicana’s unique development DNA. Seeing their gratifying success, we deeply appreciate the support shown by the community for these events,” added Lee.
Participants received medals when they completed the race distance. Added to the fun and excitement were the event’s luck draw for runners who walked away with prizes which included a Fitness Concept treadmill, MR DIY vouchers and Futuro knee stabilizers by 3M.
