Runners who are looking for something exciting and spectacular can certainly look forward to the Energizer Night Race for a Brighter World.

The Energizer Night Race is back with a renewed commitment and will flag off 9^th August from Dataran Merdeka, delivering not only a fulfilling race experience for runners but also to go the extra mile to make a positive impact to the community through a race for a brighter world.
