Hello readers .. Its Shell Electric Run again!
The 5km fun run which i attended last year. Fun Run. Education Run. Run and dance with the music and lights from the Flag off point till the end point. Read my previous entry here if you forget about it.
My run partners this year, Blogger Lee Yan, Aiman and my best friend Leoniel Dg.
Organized by The Livescape Group and supported by Malaysia Major Events, the Electric Run® Malaysia made waves last year when it achieved the title for the “Largest Participation in a Neon Run” in the Malaysia Book of Records.
Waited patiently and excitedly for the Flag Off. Tak sabarrr nak berlari sambil menyanyi dan menari .. Its gonna be fun .. I told Lee Yan since that was her first experience.
The run, which was flagged off by Au Tong Sing; Ben Mahmud, Head of Retail Marketing of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd; and Iqbal Ameer, Group CEO of The Livescape Group saw the crowd cheering with excitement, as a fireworks show kicked-off the start of the run. Local musician, H3, was on deck to spin a host of electrifying tunes to entertain the crowd, before they embarked on their journey through the nine Courselands in the run. Yahhh .. it was fun. We were cheering, jumping and dancing together while waiting for our Flag Off turn. It was a huge turned up compared to last year.
Guess what was that? The lights from the runners shoe that glowed in the dark. Just can't stop myself than capturing this using my handphone camera.
Doing More With Shell FuelSave
“The Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave is an ideal platform for Shell to create new experiences for Gen Y drivers and promote the importance of being fuel efficient with Shell FuelSave, helping drivers fuel their busy day by enabling them to be more fuel efficient,” said Au.
“We want customers to know that with Shell FuelSave, our company’s superior fuel efficiency product that is specially developed with Active Efficiency Ingredients, they can improve engine efficiency from the very first tank so that they do more of the things they enjoy and pursue their passions,” he added.
In line with Shell’s commitment to encourage Malaysians to be more efficient on the road and in life, Shell FuelSave also unveiled the world’s first Shell FuelSave Do More LED Maze at the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016. This special maze, which features seven distinctive neon zones is designed to help capture the passions and experiences that runners can enjoy and do more of when they are more efficient. Shell rewarded participants who took selfies at each zone with a special goodie bag containing gifts from Lazada, Bfab, Celebrity Fitness, Soleus, Karrimor, Touch ‘n Go and Wall’s – inspiring runners to do more in life and on the road with Shell FuelSave.
In line with its commitment to build warmer communities across Malaysia, Shell Malaysia also built a section in the maze that encouraged consumers to make a choice for Shell to donate to one of three items – school uniforms, school bags or school shoes – for children in need.
Maze runners simply needed to drop a glowstick into a collection box of their choice and the highest amount of glowstick pledges becomes the cause that Shell will support.
“For over 125 years, Shell has been fueling Malaysia’s progress as a partner to the nation. This is why this year, as a fuel that is designed to enable drivers to do more, Shell FuelSave is encouraging runners to do more at the Electric Run by pledging to a cause that they feel strongly about in the Shell FuelSave Do More LED Maze. Together with Malaysia, we aim to make a difference, building warmer communities where we operate, one station at a time,” said Au.
Spotted the Electric man during the Run. Haha. He is so cute and simply mesmerizing. Aiman .. lets take selfie with him!
Thrilling Courselands Throughout The Run
We had the opportunity to experienced and joined in the festivities prior to the flag-off at the Market Place, which boasted an array of food and beverages from vendors such as deli2go, Nathan’s Famous Sausages, and 7-Eleven Slurpees just to name a few.
Some also took part in carnival-like activities such as face-painting with neon-coloured paint.
So cute!

It was raining during the Run but that didn't stop us to having fun
We can always do more with this umbrella. Sharing is caring *love*
The much awaited moment ~ Flag Off! The Flag Off was rescheduled to 9:00pm but we waited patiently and excitedly.
After the flag-off, we began our illuminated journey through the nine Courselands available at the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave. I was so excited to return to the courselandss again after a year.
The first Courseland we encountered was the Water Station decorated with a sea of neon colours.
We continued our journey and then were “weathered by the storm” at the Rainforest with glowing umbrellas hanging overhead and soothing sounds of the forest in the background.
Ohmyy .. that was one of the lovely moment I had during the Run. I felt like a small child enjoying the sound of the nature from the rainforest. I love it! Take photo for me please.
Do More with that umbrella at Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 presented by Shell FuelSave. Sharing is loving *Auwwww ... it touched my heart*
Then we reached the Rainbow Road and were greeted with technicolour arches of light.
And I was enjoying it too .. The rainbow road was lovely. I always love this section of the Run. Walking under the rainbow colours while singing the song along the road was fantastic and gave me different kind of feeling! Reminded me on how our lifes are actually a combination of rainbow colours. Each day, each moment have different feelings and emotions. Different colours and challenges.
Then we were transported to an aquatic paradise decorated with brightly-lit, giant marine life at Under The Sea.
The electric tunnel was there too!
And I found a new courseland! This year, the Electric Run® Malaysia 2016 also featured two new Courselands. One Courseland featured a special design by Limkokwing University of Creative Technology as the “Official University Partner”,
The other one is a mystery land conceptualized by the university’s students – a “Malaysia Truly Asia”-themed Courseland highlighting Malaysia in all its neon glory.
The “Malaysia Truly Asia”-themed Courseland, Gateway was conceptualised, designed, and built by the university students. Gateway is a 200m long Courseland, which allowed us to run, walk, and dance through different doorways capturing the many cultures found in Malaysia. This “Malaysia Truly Asia”-themed Courseland highlights Malaysia as a unique multi-cultural Asian nation by incorporating Electric Run®’s neon elements to portray the country in its brightest light.
Entertainment to fuel the excitement further
Spotted this beautiful angel near the Check Out Gate. Waving her hands to all the successful participant who completed the race. So sweet and lovely!
Yahhhh ... We did it! We completed the run. I always love Shell Electric Run .. run or walk with lights and music with my 'kesayangan' .. sing along the best music throughout the courses, selfies and take pictures at the beautiful courses .. We really enjoyed the quality time spent at the Run.
My second medal with Shell Electric Run
Upon finishing the final Courseland, The Powerhouse, we then explored the Shell FuelSave Do More LED Maze before finally making our way to the finish line celebrations where we partied with one of Malaysia’s top beatbox artistes, ABeatC, followed by popular female DJ duo, Twinkies and local hip-hop superstar, SonaOne.
Look at them .. they really enjoyed and broke out into a thunderous cheer when Norwegian act, Nico & Vinz took the stage, before the night closed with H3 once again.
DO MORE WHEN YOU FUEL UP WITH SHELL FUEL SAVE.
DO MORE WITH YOUR 'KESAYANGAN' WHILE RUN AT THE ELECTRIC RUN.
DO MORE WORKOUTS WHILE HAVING FUN.
Shell always look forward to let us Do More. U-Turn To Do More if that 5.5km run is not enough for you, guys.
