MIZUNO WAVE RUN 2015

The 10th Wave
The Mizuno Wave Run (MWR) is back this year to celebrate its 10th Anniversary!
Since the inception of MWR in 2006, its sponsor the World Of Sports (WOS) Malaysia wanted to create a running event which is fun for the participants and at the same time, to guide new runners on proper training techniques, and on the use of correct running shoes and attire. As World Of Sports’s General Manager, Mr. Glenny recalls, “In the 3rd year, when we introduced Mizuno running vests as part of our race kit, many participants were questioning our decision to do so because there were some runners who were embarrassed to wear a vest instead of the usual T-shirts. However, we explained to them that runners should wear running vests because it is the most comfortable attire for running”.
Glenny continues, “This year to mark Mizuno Wave Run’s 10th Anniversary, we decided to add a new 21km category in order to give the 10km & 15km runners an opportunity to challenge themselves and conquer their first 21km on a beautiful Putrajaya route”.
Incidentally, this the 3rd consecutive year in which the MWR will be held in the municipality of Putrajaya. The first 3 years, it was held at Padang Merbok, and 4 years after that, in UPM, Serdang.
There will be a running clinic conducted on 19th September at Dataran Kemerdekaan Shah Alam, Section 14 for registered runners. For those running their first 21km, it recommended that you join the Mizuno running clinic to pick-up some valuable running tips from Mizuno Official Ambassadors.
