Frequently asked questions
Yes, our run holds the treasure of heritage at its core, which is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) or Global Goal 11.4 which is to strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage.
The goal of the run is to highlight the heritage of Penang through routes that are located within the heritage zone, whilst combining the expressive artwork of participants on a giant canvas.
The 3KM walk and 7KM run are not timed. Runners are encouraged to walk or run at your comfortable pace.
The 12KM run is a competitive run and ends after 2 hours. The fastest runners to reach the finish line for the 12KM run according to their respective categories will be awarded with prizes.
Both routes are not timed and not competitive, therefore it is totally up to you to decide. However, you are advised to consult your doctor before registering.
