What a year it’s been. From covering the Osaka Marathon in early 2024 to wrapping it up with the Chiang Mai Ultra Trail by UTMB, this journey has been nothing short of humbling. Along the way, I had the privilege to document incredible moments from world-class events like the New York City Marathon and Tour de France in Singapore to grassroots favorites like Boom Run, KLSCM, and Run The Track here in Malaysia.Every step, every story, and every mile traveled is a testament to the passion that fuels this small, independent platform. Running 100% on our own resources, we’ve managed to stay full-time, covering events with heart and dedication.This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of clients, collaborators, and, most importantly, YOU 🫵🏻 our community. Your encouragement, trust, and belief in what we do keep us moving forward.As we look ahead, we’re excited to grow, partner with more like-minded brands, and tell even more stories that inspire. Let’s work together to make 2025 even bigger!Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to chasing dreams, one finish line at a time.@arenamalaysia.asia @arenamalaysia.athletes @mediaelements by @afifabdhalim

As we celebrate Global Running Day, we dedicate this to the creative mind behind ArenaMalaysia Asia’s storytelling and production.From a diagnosis of arthritis to learning how to run again, @afifabdhalim’s journey hasn’t been easy.From the outside, he was still present - filming, producing, interviewing, standing in the same spaces as the elite athletes.But inside, there was a different kind of battle.This is his running story - a pain that no camera could ever capture.🔗 Full story: www.arenamalaysia.asia by @afifabdhalim

Tonight wasn’t about pace. It was about a promise.“Kakak, 3km and Babah buy you Texas Chicken.”Halfway in “Babah… my maggi and fish balls are coming out” 🤣But she kept going. Even held the 6:00/km pace for a 200m!3.01km later, chicken earned!Biggest wins don’t always look like finishing first.Sometimes it’s just watching your kid find out she’s tougher than she thought.Proud of you, kakak ❤️@pumanitrorunclub_my by @afifabdhalim

Every city has a heartbeat. You don’t always find it in museums.Sometimes it’s hidden in a morning market, In a table tennis rally, In the hands of a woman still weighing vegetables on a balance scale, In a bowl of noodles that has outlived empires.The best way to meet a city,is to run through it. Then let the city introduce itself.@arenamalaysia.backstage by @afifabdhalim
