Brooks Running Squad: Spreading the 'Run Happy' Mission in Kuala Lumpur
Back in January 2020, Kuala Lumpur got a new running crew with a simple mission: help people 'Run Happy.' The Brooks Running Squad (BRS) is more than just a club—it's a place where local runners like Tiramisu Kelvin help others learn to run well, stay injury-free, and actually enjoy the process.
BRS lives by the Brooks motto: 'Run Happy.' The crew is all about helping people find real joy in running, not just chasing speed or competition. They focus on the basics—good form, staying healthy, and supporting each other—so everyone can keep running and feel good doing it.
BRS connects the global Brooks brand with runners in Kuala Lumpur. They team up with local coaches and pacers to put on free, well-organized runs that anyone can join. It's a great way for beginners to get started or for anyone to work on their running in a friendly, supportive setting.
BRS is all about encouragement and learning. Their weekend runs, held twice a month, are more than just meetups—they're a chance to pick up good habits and run better. With a focus on technique and staying injury-free, it's a welcoming place for anyone who wants to build a solid base in running.
If you're in Kuala Lumpur and want to run, BRS welcomes you—whether you're new or just running to stay fit. Their free sessions happen twice a month on weekends. To see when and where the next run is, just check out Brooks Running Malaysia on social media.
BRS brings something different to Kuala Lumpur's busy running scene. The city has lots of independent crews, like the big and welcoming ANTZ Colony RC and the long-running Kyserun Krew. Each group has its own vibe, and BRS stands out by focusing on learning and support for runners.
BRS meets up at some of Kuala Lumpur's best running spots. KLCC Park is a favorite, with its 1.3-kilometer rubber track right under the Petronas Twin Towers. Perdana Botanical Garden is another great place—a big, green escape from the busy city.
Kuala Lumpur has races for everyone. The big one is the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon, which attracts thousands of participants every year for the marathon, half-marathon, or fun run. If you want something different, the Electric Run Malaysia is a nighttime 5K that turns the city into a glowing, colorful party.
