There’s something about a fun run that just gets the whole family buzzing. And when it’s not just any ordinary run, but one hosted by GSC — known for their iconic popcorn and movie magic — it’s even more irresistible. This year, GSC is bringing back their much-loved Popcorn Run, and registration is officially open. If anyone has ever dreamed of racing through a movie-themed course with buckets of fun thrown in, this is the moment to lace up those trainers.
Happening on 21 September 2025 at IOI City Mall, Symphony Walk (East), Putrajaya, the GSC Popcorn Run promises more than just a run — it’s an experience. This event is designed for both kids and adults, with two race categories available: 3KM and 5KM Fun Run. Whether one is a casual jogger, a parent looking to get the kids outdoors, or simply someone who loves fun-filled weekend events, this one ticks all the boxes.
Now, let’s dive into why this run is well worth the registration and why so many Malaysians are eager to be part of it again.
More Than Just a Run – It’s a Popcorn-Themed Adventure
The GSC Popcorn Run isn’t the type of event where participants just jog from point A to B. Instead, they’ll be moving through four exciting themed zones:
-
Movie Zone – where cinematic vibes take over
-
Makan Zone – a celebration of Malaysia’s love for food
-
Main Zone – think games, challenges, and fun moments
-
Market Zone – where local vendors and surprises await
Each zone offers its own experience, promising participants something unique at every turn. This clever combination of fitness and entertainment means it won’t even feel like a traditional run. It’s perfect for those who want an active day out, but without the intense pressure of a marathon.
Affordable Entry and Exclusive Race Pack
Starting at just RM55, this run is incredibly accessible, even for families with multiple participants. That price includes a limited-edition GSC Popcorn Run Race Pack — which has become a collector’s item among fans. Typically, these packs include a themed T-shirt, race bib, snacks, and more, all customised for the event.
For those who enjoy a good souvenir, or simply want a matching family look for the day, the race pack alone makes the entry fee worthwhile.
Activities, Goodies, and Prizes – Non-Stop Fun
Participants can look forward to a day packed with surprise activities. GSC has always been known for their attention to detail and event planning, and this year’s Popcorn Run is expected to be bigger and more engaging than ever.
From interactive booths to spontaneous games scattered throughout the route, there’s never a dull moment. Not only that — cool prizes await lucky winners and high-spirited participants. Whether it’s movie vouchers, exclusive merchandise, or perhaps mystery rewards tied to the event’s sponsors, there’s plenty to be excited about.
This isn’t just about who finishes fastest — it’s about celebrating participation, community, and having a blast together.
Why Families and Friends Should Join
Malaysia is brimming with weekend events and fun runs these days, but few have managed to cultivate the kind of inclusive, joyful atmosphere that the GSC Popcorn Run delivers. It’s safe, entertaining, well-organised, and, most importantly, fun for all ages.
Parents who want to introduce their children to the joys of physical activity can do so in an exciting and low-pressure environment. Friends looking to bond over something other than food or malls have a perfect excuse to break a sweat and snap loads of Instagram-worthy photos along the way. Even corporate teams can consider it as a team-building day out with a twist.
Moreover, the IOI City Mall location in Putrajaya is easily accessible and surrounded by plenty of other attractions. After the run, families can spend the rest of their day exploring the mall’s food courts, shops, or even unwind at the nearby parks.
Secure Your Spot Early
Events like this tend to sell out fast, especially when they’re open to all age groups and priced affordably. Those who have attended past GSC Popcorn Runs would remember how quickly registration slots disappear — and with only one day on the calendar for this year’s run, the urgency is real.

All it takes is a few clicks and participants will be all set for a September filled with excitement, themed fun, and maybe even a medal to take home.
Final Thoughts – A Day of Movement, Movies and Memories
In a time when people are always looking for meaningful, joyful ways to reconnect with friends and family, the GSC Popcorn Run 2025 couldn’t come at a better time. It combines Malaysia’s love for food, cinema, and community into one energising event that encourages people to move their bodies and create fun memories.
It’s not just a run. It’s a day out, a celebration, and a chance to be part of something vibrant. Whether one walks, jogs, or runs their way to the finish line, every step will be filled with smiles and maybe a little popcorn-scented cheer.
If there’s one event to circle on the calendar this September, this should be it.
