8am last April 19, Sunday
Esplanade (Padang Kota Lama)
Over 2,500 runners of the Great Eastern Colour My Heart Run had a fun morning being showered and showering others with colorful powders along the 5km route within George Town. The insurance company collaborated with the Heart Foundation of Malaysia for this event, where a portion of the registration fee was channeled to the foundation.
There were five tents along the way called fun zones where participants were supposed to enter and be showered with different powder color. I skipped most of the tents, only went in on the last tent near the finish line.
For the runners' protection, the organizers provided shades and face masks in the goody bag. There were Milo and Revive stations for hydration. A nice medal, a big banana, more Revive drinks and a small plate of Malaysian kuih (bite sized snacks) welcomes the finishers. Overall, the event was very organized and well thought of.
