Hundreds of fitness enthusiasts took over the serene green landscapes Tropicana Golf & Country Resort (TGCR) for the annual TGCR Nite Race on October 1, 2022.

The fun run saw more than 250 fitness enthusiasts coming together to exercise as well as to enjoy cool evening breeze and panoramic vistas of the Tropicana golf club at night.

Launched in 2010, the annual TGCR Night Race was the first of its kind organised by a golf club in a golf course.

Tropicana Golf & Country Resort general manager Sharudin Kamarudin said its signature TGCR Nite Run event finally returns this year after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are excited to revive this tradition as part of our core mission in redefining the art of healthy living.

“It is gratifying to see the strong community support and turnout for the event, right here at the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort where Tropicana’s journey began,” he said.

Participants for the 5km and 8km fun runs were flagged off to high-spirited cheers against the row of palm trees and sunset sky background.
