With just two months remaining to the ASICS Relay Malaysia 2018<\/a>, the Japanese sportswear and footwear brand today hosted a pre-race activity in 1 Utama Shopping Centre. The preview relay run was the first mall run organised by ASICS Malaysia. On a Sunday morning, more than 200 participants gathered at the event all eagerly waiting to immerse themselves in a unique, one-of-a-kind experience of running inside a mall!<\/p>\n

Participants were placed in teams of four, however, unlike the actual run where each team has to complete the full 42 km or a half, 21 km marathon, teams were only required to complete a total distance of 8km this time. Individually, each runner had to race a distance of 2km. Runners gathered at the entrance of Parkson on Level 1, New Wing of the mall for a quick warm-up before the official flag-off.<\/p>\n
