Putrajaya mass running event charts 33,000 sign-ups
One of Malaysia's largest mass-participation running events will see 33,000 participants taking to the streets of Putrajaya on July 13. The race has drawn runners, aiming to cross the finish lines in the 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km courses, from more than 48 countries. 'Since our modest beginnings in 2014 with just 3,674 runners, Score Marathon has seen steady but exponential growth over the years,' said Score Sports Management chief executive officer Patricia Tan. 'Last year, over 24,253 runners participated and this year, registrations surged to 33,000, setting a new milestone,' Tan said. AIA Vitality, the health programme by AIA Malaysia, returns as presenting sponsor for the fourth straight year. 'At AIA, we are proud to support a movement that unites runners from all walks of life,' said AIA Malaysia chief marketing officer Chee Foong Wai. 'We're inspired by the spirit of this event and remain committed to supporting and championing initiatives that empower Malaysians to live healthier, longer, better lives,' Wai added. Last year, Score Marathon recycled 1,150kg of plastic, equivalent to 46,320 plastic bottles – setting a benchmark for environmentally responsible sporting events in the region. It also partnered with Pressio, a sportswear brand using bio-based yarns, as official apparel partner, while medals are crafted from recycled materials in collaboration with Natureloop. Score Marathon is supported by the Youth and Sports Ministry and certified a World Athletics Label Road Race. This recognises the full marathon as a qualifying race for the Abbott World Marathon Majors while making its affiliation with the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races official, inducting it into an elite group of globally recognised events.

Football fever takes over as 1,300 join AIA's Score with Spurs Camp
SCORE with Spurs Camp, the highly anticipated football coaching programme by AIA Malaysia in collaboration with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, made an exhilarating return this year – bringing together over 1,300 aspiring junior and adult participants for a three-day football experience at the Eco Ardence Setia Alam Football Arena. Held from 30 May to 1 June 2025, the camp was led by Tottenham Hotspur International Development coaches Lily Jervis and Sabrina Dias, alongside 24 experienced local coaches. The camp was divided into two daily sessions: mornings were dedicated to the Junior Camp which welcomed more than 700 children aged 7-13, while evenings catered to the Adult Camp, which saw a turn-up of nearly 650 participants. This format ensured participants received tailored, age-appropriate training and guidance to maximise their experience. Each day kicked off with dynamic warm-up activities that were also open to participants' families and friends, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere where they could join in the excitement. Beyond honing basic football skills like dribbling, passing and shooting, the training sessions also featured tactical drills and friendly matches. These sessions were thoughtfully structured to build confidence, encourage progression and reinforce key values such as teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship – all while ensuring the experience remained fun and engaging for participants of all ages and skill levels. Launched in 2021 as a virtual football coaching programme during the pandemic with just 160 participants, Score with Spurs has steadily grown into a meaningful avenue for Malaysians to stay healthy and active in a fun and engaging way. In 2022, the programme transitioned to on-ground sessions with the introduction of the Adult and Junior Camps, which have since expanded to five to six sessions annually. By making world-class football coaching more accessible to Malaysians, Score with Spurs continues to inspire and promote healthier lifestyles, nurture football talents from the grassroot level, and empower communities to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
