New Year Music Run Penang 2027

New Year Music Run Penang 2027 is a recreational 5 km night-running event at Bertam Street Market, in the Bertam Perdana area of Kepala Batas on Penang's mainland. The Saturday, 2 January event starts at 21:00 Malaysia time, offering a festive alternative to an early-morning road race and a sociable way to begin the year.

Event experience

The event is advertised as a 5 km fun run with an event T-shirt, finisher medal, electronic certificate, light refreshments and lucky-draw opportunities. The organiser also lists an Eastel SIM card among participant entitlements. Confirm the latest inclusions and any eligibility conditions through the organiser before registration. The detailed race map, road closures, drink stations, timing arrangements and completion cut-off were not yet published in the verified 2027 information; do not assume the course follows an earlier edition.

Registration

The official Howei ticketing platform advertises an early-bird rate through 1 December 2026 and a higher normal entry rate afterwards. Registration is stated to close when places fill, not on a confirmed universal calendar deadline. Check actual slot availability and any additional platform charges at checkout rather than relying on advertised prices alone.

Race pack collection

The organiser lists bib and race-pack collection at Pejabat Urusan Secondbrain, Sunshine Mall Bertam, from 16:00 to 22:00 MYT on 31 December 2026, 1 January 2027 and 2 January 2027. The last listed collection period overlaps with the 21:00 race start, so runners should collect well before their flag-off and verify any special race-day instructions with the organiser.

The venue is in Pusat Bandar Bertam Perdana, Jalan Dagangan 1, 13200 Kepala Batas, Pulau Pinang. The location map pin is approximate to the market neighbourhood, not an officially surveyed starting-line coordinate. Confirm the precise entrance, parking and final arrangements from Howei and Tiptop Empayar Enterprise before travelling.
