The Langkawi Beach Run is an annual event organised by the Langkawi Tourism Action Council (LTAC), Elcreationz, LG Symphony and supported by Tourism Malaysia,LADA Langkawi Geopark and Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Kedah (POAK).

Conceptualised in 2006, the Langkawi Beach Run is slated to be a highly-competitive and fun annual community event.

It is, essentially a race that traverses the rustic back routes of the Pantai Chenang area and culminating in a gruelling dash across the powdery-white sands of that famous Langkawi beach.

The event is a smart  partnership between the Langkawi island, the tourists and dedicated runners from Malaysia and abroad. This synergistic partnership will help  the race earn its stripes as among the annual international sporting highlights on this legendary island.
