If you’re looking for the perfect excuse to visit Penang this July, I’ve got some great news! Alliance Bank just announced the return of their signature Heritage Run, and for 2026, they are going all out. Since it’s Visit Malaysia Year 2026, this edition is extra special—think bigger prizes, cooler merch, and a massive celebration of our local heritage right in the heart of George Town.

Happening on 12 July 2026 at Padang Kota Lama, this isn’t just your typical morning run. It’s a full-blown cultural festival. You can expect cultural performances along the route, a reimagined #SupportLokal bazaar (perfect for foodies and craft lovers!), and even a massive art project that everyone can join.

What’s really cool this year is the sustainability twist. The finisher medals are made from sustainable bamboo, and the race kits come in reusable canvas bags. Even the T-shirt designs are inspired by Penang icons like Prawn Mee and Kebaya. It’s definitely a collector’s item for any runner!
