John Raadschelders, President of the International Powerman Association (IPA) said that “We are excited to be working with Fresh Events, who bring with them a wealth of local and international experience and are well known for their operational excellence. I have no doubt they will build on past successes and deliver an exceptional event at Powerman Malaysia 2020 and beyond”.

The 2020 Run-Bike-Run format race will retain its renowned Powerman Classic & Classic Relay (10KM – 60KM – 10KM), Powerman Short & Short Relay (5KM – 30KM – 5KM), and PowerKIDS, in addition to the introduction of PowerTeen for teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
