Music Run by AIA to Take Place in Bangkok on 1 November 2014

AIA is calling all music lovers and running enthusiasts to prepare to get their fists pumping and their hearts thumping as it is bringing The Music Run by AIA, an interactive 5km fun run, to Bangkok, Thailand for the first time.

Slated for 1 November 2014 at Bangkok’s Suan Luang Rama IX Park, The Music Run by AIA promises a running experience unlike any other as music fans can walk, run, or dance through five 1km music zones.

The music zones ‘Rock’, ‘Pop’, ‘Retro’, ‘R&B/ Hip Hop’ and ‘Dance’ all powered by The Music Run by AIA promises to provide fun for everyone with each zone having its own unique interactive games and various prizes.

In line with the run’s tagline ‘Your music, Your beat’, all participants who register can vote online for their favourite track from each of the 5 music genres. The 5 most popular tracks from each music genre will then be selected to form music zone playlists for the actual run.

The Music Run is owned by Fresh Events Global and promoted by Exceed Sports & Entertainment. AIA Thailand has come on board as the Presenting Sponsor for the Bangkok run.

Saloon Tham, CEO of AIA Thailand said, “AIA is introducing a fun, social, interactive and engaging fitness concept that is accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. We focus very deeply on contributing to the well-being of people and the partnership is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to helping people live longer, healthier lives. This demonstrates our promise as The Real Life Company that brings together wellness, fun and spirit in this unique running experience that rewards you in more ways than one! “

The event will also be featuring its celebrities Sheranut Yusanda, DJ Ono, Carla Porter, Aerin Yuktadatta, and Alex Rendell, Poupee Pathitha Kanthamara, Danny Blessing, as well as hit band Getsanova members ‘Not’ Panot Khunprasert and Natee Osathanugrah.

As the event promoter of The Music Run by AIA, Founder and Director of Exceed Sports & Entertainment Martin Capstick believes that The Music Run’s combination of music and running form a powerful connection with today’s modern generation. 

“With the resounding success of The Music Run in Kuala Lumpur earlier in March, we are proud to be bringing it to Bangkok for the first time,” he said. “Music and running have always gone hand in hand in a way that allows fitness buffs and casual runners alike to enjoy running to the rhythm of the beat. With The Music Run, we are excited to build a community of Music Runners who we put at the heart of this experience by inviting them to decide the songs they want to listen to during the run.”

Unlike other marathons and themed running events, The Music Run has no time clock which means anyone of any fitness level can join in the fun and complete the run at his or her own pace.

The Music Run by AIA will end its programme with a music festival at the finish zone.

Tickets are priced at 700 THB. Each participant will receive a running pack that includes The Music Run by AIA branded Dri-Fit shirt, a drawstring bag as well as other goodies.
