The Malaysian Irish Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Embassy of Ireland in Malaysia, officially launched the Shamrock Run Malaysia 2025, set to take place on Sunday, 29 June 2025, at Taman Wetlands, Putrajaya, starting at 7:00 AM.
Welcoming the return of the Shamrock Run after a five-year pause due to the pandemic, she encouraged the public to register early to avoid missing out on this unique cultural and sporting event.
“The Shamrock Run Malaysia 2025 brings together people from both Ireland and Malaysia, strengthening ties through shared experiences, while also promoting health and well-being,” said Her Excellency.
Also present at the launch was Mr. Hafidz Kosai bin Mohd Zihim, President of the Malaysian Irish Alumni Association, alongside Mr. Brian Pua, Managing Director of O’Briens Irish Sandwich Café.
Adding a special touch to the event was the appearance of Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim, who proudly lent her support to the run, honouring her Irish heritage.
Back for its sixth edition since the first run in 2014, Shamrock Run Malaysia 2025 promises a fun, non-competitive experience designed to promote healthy living and strengthen bonds among family and friends. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the joy, this event offers something for everyone.
Participants will receive a specially designed event T-shirt, running bib, and a unique finisher’s medal featuring eye-catching Irish- and Malaysian-inspired motifs. To add more excitement, prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed runners—so come dressed in your most creative Shamrock, Irish, or Malaysian-themed outfits!
