The Music Run is a 5k running series with speakers lining the entire ‘Sound Track’ run course, culminating in the world’s best finish line festival.
It’s an energising and fun event that brings young people together, irrespective of gender and race, for a one-of-a-kind safe, clean, alcohol-free and healthy experience.
Launched in 2014 by Fresh Events, The Music Run’s mission is to inspire people to live the beat and lead more active lifestyles. To date, it has been experienced by over 300,000 runners across 40 events in 13 countries.
Live The Beat™ is our lifestyle philosophy for active living. It’s about living today better than yesterday; being physically and emotionally charged to work hard to improve your fitness, live healthier and lead a more active lifestyle.

The Music Run is a rain or shine event but if extreme weather does occur, the event will be postponed until it is safe to continue. Please follow instructions provided by the Race Officials.
Your run bib is your entry ticket to the event, so please ensure you wear it proudly at all times on the FRONT side of your Event T-Shirt.
Our aim is to get all participants on to the run course in a safe and timely manner. We do this by operating different Start Wave times for the different Race Categories. Please refer to both your Registration Confirmation email and our website to ensure that you know exactly which Race Category you are in and what your Start Wave time is. Please note you will only be allowed to run in your allotted Start Wave so please follow the set time and all instructions given by Race Officials.
We offer trophies and prizes for the top 3 male and top 3 female finishers in the 5K Speed Race Category.
Finishers of all race categories will receive a Finisher’s Medal upon crossing the finish line. Finisher’s E-Certificates will be available for all TIMED runners and can be downloaded after the event from the results page of the website.
For TIMED runners (i.e. those in the Speed and Leisure categories with a timing chip), you will be able to access your official race time after the event on the results page of the website.
On the Run Course, complimentary water stations are available at the 2.5km and finish line.
The entire ‘Sound Track’ run course is lined with speakers the whole way so you can run to the rhythm of the beat from start to finish. It’s an immersive running experience like no other! The Official Race Day Playlist will be shared on the website and Facebook page immediately after the event.
It wouldn’t be a Music Run without a big focus on music! An important part of The Music Run by CIMB is the Finish Line Festival, featuring awesome beats and plenty of music inspired entertainment. Please refer to the website for details of the talent performing on the Main Stage. One thing’s for sure, there will be plenty of entertainment before, during and after the run and you’ll have an awesome time living the beat!
Multiple food and beverage options are available for purchase within the Music Village.
There are First Aid stations located along the Run Course and in the Music Village so any injuries will be attended to by the appropriate medical staff. We do not give refunds for non-completion of the run.
Of course! We’re all about capturing and sharing great moments with your friends, so bring your cameras, snap away and don’t forget to use the hashtags when you share your pics!
