If you love Malaysia, running, and food — not necessarily in that order — then the Curve Merdeka Food Run 2025 is calling your name!
Happening this 30 August 2025, just in time for Merdeka celebrations, the beloved event returns to Petaling Jaya with twice the excitement, double the fun, and a whole lot more deliciousness on offer.
Organised by the Curve, Malaysia’s first pedestrianised shopping mall, the 5KM food-themed fun run kicks off at 7.30AM from the Piazza. With an anticipated 3,000 participants — up from 1,500 last year — this year’s edition promises to be the most mouth-watering run yet.
Where Fitness Meets Flavour
Forget energy bars and isotonic drinks — this run fuels your body with authentic Malaysian delights. Participants will encounter food pit stops along the 5KM route, featuring favourites like nasi lemak, satay, curry puffs, and more.
It’s a unique twist that sets the Curve Merdeka Food Run apart from your typical road race. Whether you’re sprinting for fitness or strolling for the snacks, the event turns every kilometre into a celebration of Malaysia’s rich culinary heritage.
“The Curve Merdeka Food Run is more than just a race,” said En Jazmi Kamarudin, Chief Operations Officer of Boustead Properties Berhad. “It’s a meaningful way to bring Malaysians together through two things we all love — food and togetherness — while promoting wellness and celebrating our independence.”
A Run for Everyone
In true Merdeka spirit, the Curve is welcoming everyone to take part — from seasoned runners and fitness enthusiasts to families, friends, and casual walkers.
You don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy this event — you just need a love for good food and good company.
Group discounts are available for teams of four, encouraging families and friends to join together. Corporate packages are also offered, making it an ideal activity for team-building and employee wellness.
Registrations are open until 3 August 2025, so don’t wait too long to sign up!
Prizes and Surprises Await
As if great food and festive vibes weren’t enough, participants also stand a chance to win exciting prizes worth RM10,000 in a Lucky Draw at the end of the event.
It’s the perfect way to wrap up a morning filled with laughter, flavour, and Merdeka cheer.
Expect music, games, photo opportunities, and a buzzing community atmosphere as runners cross the finish line and join in the celebrations.
