volkswagen-marathon-2014

Volkswagen Group Malaysia (VGM) recently announced its sponsorship of the Volkswagen Marathon Series 2014. Besides being the title sponsor, VGM will also provide vehicles for safety, medical and logistics purposes.

Organised by The Marathon Shop, this year's series consists of two "boutique runs" that allow participants to be at one with nature. The first will be The Island Ocean Marathon in Langkawi on August 10, followed by The River Jungle Marathon in Hulu Langat, Selangor, which has apparently been voted the most beautiful marathon route. The latter will take place on September 7.

Both 42.195 km events are open to runners of all ages and divided into two categories - male and female.

"VGM has been the title sponsor for the Marathon Series since its inception in 2011 and this is a partnership that I am personally very happy about. A marathon that drives an appreciation of nature is very much inline with our own Think Blue philosophy which furthers the cause of environmental awareness and sustainability," said Armin Keller, MD of VGM.
