Saucony Malaysia made a significant impact on the local running scene with the Malaysian debut of The Maze, a global relay race uniting running clubs in a fast-paced competition. For one night, the iconic Kuala Lumpur Railway Station became a venue for running, culture, and community.
In collaboration with RAC (Railway Assets Corporation), the inaugural event featured 20 running clubs competing on a specially designed relay course through the station. This transformed the heritage landmark into a hub for running culture.
The Maze’s arrival in Malaysia showcases the evolution of running beyond traditional races, merging sport, lifestyle, and culture, and creating new connections through movement.
Against the historic backdrop of Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, The Maze marked the first time the heritage landmark hosted a relay race. For one night, the station transformed as runners and supporters united, connecting the city’s past with its vibrant running culture, creating a defining moment for the inaugural The Maze in Malaysia.
“The Maze has always taken running beyond the usual race setting and into unexpected spaces. So for Kuala Lumpur, we stayed true to that spirit. For one night only, we have transformed one of Kuala Lumpur’s most iconic and historic landmarks, Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, into the course for Malaysia’s first-ever The Maze,” said Regine Wong, the Country Head of Saucony Malaysia.
“For the runners, this is a very special occasion. On top of being the first The Maze run in Malaysia, we are truly creating history, as this is also the first time we have opened our doors to have an actual race here in the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station,” shared Yang Mulia Tengku Nadia Azrina Tengku Amran, the Chief Commercial Officer of RAC Malaysia.
