| PJ Half Marathon: Sponsors providing drinks, honey and even watches Posted: 19 Sep 2012 04:56 AM PDT SPONSORS are coming in full force to support the PJ Half Marathon at the Petaling Jaya Stadium in Kelana Jaya on Sept 30. Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) has come on board as part of GSC's 25th anniversary celebrations. GSC chief executive officer and PBB Group Berhad (PBB) corporate affairs senior manager Koh Mei Lee said: "GSC will be the presenter of the PJ Half Marathon while the PBB Group will be contributing cash which will be distributed to selected welfare homes for the physically challenged.'' Koh, who will be taking part in the 7km run, said the annual event was a good platform to encourage their staff to get involved in a fun and healthy activity. "We encourage our staff to bring along their family members to participate in the run as part of our CSR programme is to promote fitness and health. "About 100 staff from GSC and 40 from PBB have already registered for the run,'' said Mei Lee. PBB's part-subsidiary FFM Group, a subsidiary of PBB, will be sponsoring 10,000 Massimo Favorito and Duetto buns in a variety of cream filings including blueberry, coffee, chocolate and corn. FFM Marketing Sdn Bhd product group manager Susan Toh Siew Sian said they would also be sponsoring 10,000 V-Soy packet drinks. "We will be giving out our V-Soy Multigrain drinks to the runners as it contains a variety of healthy grains including purple brown rice, black sesame, barley and malt. "The V-Soy Multigrain drink, which is ideal as a snack or a light meal, will be suitable for the runners since they will be exhausted after completing the 21km distance. "It will be good for the runners to drink the V-Soy Multigrain drink first to fill their empty stomachs in the morning," she said. Participants will also get to sample calcium magnesium supplements courtesy of Basic Health & Beauty Sdn Bhd which will be sponsoring 1000 units of their 10ml Salus Fruit Juice Calcium Magnesium supplement. "The supplements will be helpful for long distance runners as it will give them bone and muscle strength. Without magnesium, the runners are likely to get muscle cramps. The supplement is in liquid form so that it can be absorbed fast," said Basic Health & Beauty Sdn Bhd sales executive Joyce Chang. Participants will also stand a chance to win Timberland watches courtesy of Aura Concept Sdn Bhd. Aura Concept Sdn Bhd director Murli Menon said the company would be contributing nine Timberland watches as prizes. "We've decided to support the cause as Timberland is synonymous with outdoor sports and activities. We also want to support the run as it is a good social cause and encourages people to be more mindful of their health," he said. Network Foods (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is giving participants something sweet to bring home after the run by handing out a minimum of 10,000 sachets of their 12gm Signature Taste Honey Life product. "The product, called Active Enzyme Rainforest Honey, can provide runners with a healthy energy boost," said Network Foods Sdn Bhd brand manager Nicholas Nyeow. He is also looking forward to taking part in the 21km category as he had joined the event a few times. His advice to those taking part in the race, "Have a good night's rest and a light breakfast before the race. Eat an energy bar or fruits to get enough energy to keep going throughout the race," he said. The Wrigley Company (M) Sdn Bhd Extra brand manager Tracy Soh said they would be sponsoring 10,000 units of their Extra Professional Mints to participants of the marathon.
