The Kuala Lumpur Rat Race®

Bad air day no more, time to run! I am glad the haze is long gone. Because that means, I can put on my running shoes and start training once again for one of KL's "to watch out for" events, The Kuala Lumpur Rat Race®. Yes, I'm running for my company and for charity 4.5km around Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle, along with 500 other "corporate rats", mostly in corporate attire and carrying laptops and briefcases.

Including 29 other runners who are running for our group of companies.

For the benefit of your knowledge, The Kuala Lumpur Rat Race is an annual event that is now in its sixth year. The run for charity, originally scheduled for Aug 9, was postponed due to the thick smog that shrouded the Klang Valley recently. The event Corporate Malaysia looks forward to annually will be back on Sept 6.

The Kuala Lumpur Rat Race is organised by The Edge and Bursa Malaysia, and supported by Yayasan Bursa Malaysia, the foundation arm of Bursa Malaysia. The Kuala Lumpur Rat Race will benefit ten charitable organisations around the country.

Last year, 75 teams took time out to run for charity and helped raise RM667,500. This year, a record number of 97 teams from 55 companies have come together to raise RM811,000. In addition, 30 captains of industry will be sweating it out in the CEO Race, including one of our Group companies' CEOs.

Friends and bloggers, wish me all the best!
