Last Saturday, I joined the Pos Malaysia Run 2025 which took place at the iconic Stadium Merdeka in KL. I signed up for the 10km run and the best thing is that all our race kits are delivered to our address. That's really convenient to everyone especially those traveling from out of Klang Valley area!
Starting at the historic Stadium Merdeka, the Pos Malaysia Run 2025 united more than 7,000 participants in celebration of health, heritage, and sustainability
Pos Malaysia, the national post and parcel service provider, successfully delivered the Pos Malaysia Run 2025 on 22 November 2025. The event, which was made possible through the support of its partners, including main partner, FWD, brought together over 7,000 participants in a vibrant celebration of health, heritage, and sustainability under the theme ‘Jom Laju for Fun!’.

Held at the historic venue where Malaysia's independence was declared in 1957, this year's run provided the perfect backdrop for celebrating unity, heritage and progress while championing healthy living. Building on the success of the inaugural 2024 edition which attracted 3,500 participants, the second annual event featured an exciting new addition – the 10km Corporate Relay Run (5km x 2pax) – alongside a Special Category for Persons with Disabilities (OKU), further demonstrating Pos Malaysia’s commitment to inclusivity.

Frankline Saitoti dominated the Men's Open 10km, crossing the finish line in 00:27:56 while Nympha Kiteta Kivalo powered through to win the Women's Open 10km in 00:31:34. The Veteran categories saw impressive displays of endurance and determination, with Amirullah Bambang and Saori taking top honours in the Men's and Women's divisions respectively.

"Her presence underscores the importance of healthy living at every level of society. This year, we expanded our categories to be truly inclusive — welcoming everyone from corporate teams to persons with disabilities, ensuring every Malaysian has the opportunity to participate. Just as we connect the nation through our unparalleled logistics infrastructure, this run is about connecting people and delivering a better tomorrow. We brought together runners of all ages and fitness levels at Stadium Merdeka, the very place where Malaysia's independence was declared. The significance of this venue reminds us that progress — whether in 1957 or 2025 — is always a collective journey."
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
FWD, a leading takaful and insurance operator served as the Main Partner for the Pos Malaysia Run 2025, bringing together Pos Malaysia's expertise in connecting communities with FWD's commitment to supporting Malaysians in their journey towards better health and well-being.

Sustainability at the Forefront
Staying true to its environmental commitment, the Pos Malaysia Run 2025 maintained its position as a leader in sustainable event practices. All finishers received commemorative finisher medals thoughtfully crafted from recycled materials by NatureLoop—each medal repurposing approximately six zip ties from Pos Malaysia's operational waste, giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. Race packs were delivered directly to participants' homes using Pos Malaysia's electric vans and bikes, eliminating the need for race pack collection and minimising carbon footprint.

On event day, electric bikes provided eco-friendly marshal and operational support, while Proton’s E.MAS served as the lead electric vehicle for the 10km run, demonstrating the company's commitment to sustainability and heritage in action. Reusable cups by OPACK were used throughout the event, further reducing environmental impact and setting a benchmark for green sporting events in Malaysia.
