Imagine having the opportunity to run across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Well when I mean run, I don’t mean simply run from one end to another as if being chased by someone - they might just stop you and lock you up somewhere for your own safety - but actually taking part in an ‘official run’ with thousands of other runners.
Even for a non-regular runner like me, that would be an absolute dream come true and even if I had to crawl towards the finish line, I would certainly not miss out on the chance!
For Malaysians Fong Kah Wei and Liang Seok Yee, it was probably a dream come true when they won a five-day four-night all-expense paid trip to Sydney, Australia to participate in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival. That’s not all, the winners were allowed to bring along a partner each and so in total there were 4 lucky people who took part in the internationally recognised run across the Sydney metropolis.
The Blackmores Sydney Running festival is an annual running event aimed at raising funds for various NGOs and charitable organisations and this year marked the event’s 10th anniversary. Around 30,000 serious and casual runners from around the globe took part in this prestigious event held in September.
Aside from the run and a tour of Sydney, the winners also had the opportunity to visit the award-winning Blackmores Campus, an environmentally-friendly and sustainable building design in Sydney that relies on natural resources such as solar, gas and air ventilation to reduce carbon footprint. The office building also boasts a wellness centre and other facilities such as a pool, gym and massage service for its staff. The Blackmores Campus epitomises a new generation workplace of creating a balanced approach to health, work, life and environment.

According to Gan Siew Yew, Marketing Manager of Blackmores Malaysia, this annual running event forms the company’s corporate social responsibility initiative to raise funds and propagate the message of healthy living to the public. The run is one of two occasions in a year when the Sydney Harbour Bridge is closed to traffic to allow a route for the runners to traverse across the North and South of Sydney’s pulsating city.
