This is a bit of news for those who like to run for fun or for fitness or for competition. I'd rather drive. But those who would rather run, do take note. Langkawi in August, Hulu Langat in early September 2014.

Medals for the event

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 July 2014 – Underlining its commitment to the environment and sustainability, Volkswagen Group Malaysia today announced its sponsorship of the Volkswagen Marathon Series 2014.

Continuing the momentum from last year, the 2014 edition of the Volkswagen Marathon Series consists of two breath-taking boutique runs that allow participants to be at one with nature. Organized by The Marathon Shop, the first run will be The Island Ocean Marathon taking place in Langkawi on 10 August 2014, which will then be followed by The River Jungle Marathon in Hulu Langat, Selangor which has been voted as the most beautiful marathon route and which will take place on 7 September 2014.

Armin Keller, Managing Director for Volkswagen Group Malaysia shares, “Volkswagen Group Malaysia has been the title sponsor for the Marathon Series since its inception in 2011 and this is a partnership that I am personally very happy about. A marathon that drives an appreciation of nature is very much inline with our own Think Blue philosophy which furthers the cause of environmental awareness and sustainability.”

Both runs in The Volkswagen Marathon Series 2014 are open to local and international participants of all ages and divided into two categories; Male and Female. In addition to the 42.195 km run that is customary of marathons, runners can also expect to get the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of nature with more than 2,000 fellow running enthusiasts, comprising of veterans and first-timers alike.

In addition to being the Title Sponsor of this year’s run, Volkswagen Group Malaysia will also be supplying the vehicles needed for safety, medical and logistics purposes throughout The Volkswagen Marathon Series 2014.
