The Sports Paragon Run 2022 at Tropicana Gardens Mall and Tropicana go-go-FIT Park Adventure Race at Tropicana Metropark brought much early morning merriment and mirth in the air. The weekend events drew hundreds of fitness lovers for the Sports Paragon Run 2022’s 3km and 5km fun runs around Tropicana Indah and Kota Damansara, as well as Tropicana go-go-FIT Park Adventure Race’s challenge stations showcasing its serene Urban Park spanning 9.2 acres in Subang Jaya.

Fifty Tropicana employees were sponsored for the Sports Paragon Run 2022, in support of the ongoing Tropicana go-go-FIT health campaign and the Group’s mantra of Redefining the Art of Healthy Living. Joanne Lee, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Tropicana, shared more on the collaboration.

“It was our pleasure to work with Sports Paragon as venue sponsor for its inaugural Sports Paragon Run 2022, while organising the Tropicana go-go-FIT Park Adventure Race, as we foster fitness and health as a fun part of everyday life. At the same time, these events showcased the accessibility and connectivity in and around Tropicana Gardens Mall and Tropicana Indah, as well as the generous open spaces and facilities of the Urban Park in Tropicana Metropark, in line with Tropicana’s unique development DNA. Seeing their gratifying success, we deeply appreciate the support shown by the community for these events,” she said.

The Sports Paragon Run 2022 kicked off with a vigorous set of warm-up activities and safety briefing for participants, then it was flagged off from Tropicana Gardens Mall with more than 500 runners. Both 3km and 5km routes proceeded past the picturesque grounds of Seri Selangor Golf Club and Tropicana Golf & Country Resort before returning to the mall. Additionally, virtual participants could opt to run 5km at their leisure between 24 September 2022 and 2 October 2022, with results submitted by 5 October 2022.

The participants also stood a chance to walk away with prizes worth up to RM5,700 in the event’s Lucky Draw, with a Fitness Concept treadmill up for grabs along with Mr. DIY vouchers and Futuro Knee Stabilisers by 3M.

Meanwhile, the Tropicana go-go-FIT Park Adventure Race drew over 100 participants in 20 teams to a series of challenges in Tropicana Metropark’s Urban Park. Challenges ranged from solving number puzzles and fitness tests to the “Footsteps to Healthy Pathway” activity. In line with the Tropicana go-go-FIT campaign, a mini wellness fair offered educational sessions such as free health screenings and mental health assessments as well as a juice making workshop.

Fret not for those who missed out on the fun runs, as monthly virtual challenges under Tropicana go-go-FIT will be unveiled. For October’s “Sport-tacular” virtual challenge, participants are invited to share their best sport look to stand a chance to win a Nintendo Switch and SportsDirect gift cards.
