Peserta Viper Challenge Berjaya Redah Shah Alam!
Lebih 10,000 peserta yang membanjiri Stadium Shah Alam berjaya mengatasi cabaran biarpun terpaksa menempuh beberapa halangan baru yang lebih unik serta mencabar dalam siri larian berhalangan Viper Challenge, Great Eastern Viper Arena 2017, Sabtu lepas. Diadakan buat tahun kedua berturut-turut di stadium kebanggaan Selangor itu, siri yang menguji ketahanan mental dan fizikal peserta diadakan pada sebelah malam. Sebelum ini, beberapa lokasi telah dijelajahi oleh Viper Challenge iaitu di Pulau Pinang, Johor, dan Genting Highlands.
Walaupun menjadi tetamu kehormat, Azmin ternyata ingin mencuba beberapa halangan yang disediakan kerana beliau sendiri teruja melihat struktur halangan dalam siri Viper Challenge ini. Beliau sempat mencuba salah satu halangan yang disediakan pada hari tersebut.
Azmin turut mengalu-alukan untuk memasukkan Cabaran Viper dalam kalendar pelancongan tahunan negeri kerana beliau berpendapat acara ini bukan sahaja memberi manfaat kepada sektor pelancongan negara tetapi juga menyokong gaya hidup sihat di kalangan masyarakat.
Selain Viper Challenge, para pengunjung yang hadir pada hari itu turut disajikan dengan persembahan bunga api. Gerai Great Eastern LIVE GREAT juga menawarkan cetakan foto secara percuma dan pengunjung berpeluang untuk memenangi kad hadiah Starbucks di LIVE GREAT Fitness Challenge. Di samping itu, trak jualan makanan turut berada di lokasi.
Viper Challenge yang mendapat sambutan lebih 120,000 peserta tempatan dan antarabangsa sejak ianya dianjurkan pada tahun 2013 adalah disokong oleh Malaysia Major Events, satu bahagian dalam Biro Pameran dan Konvensyen Malaysia (MyCEB), sebuah agensi di bawah Kementerian Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan Malaysia (MOTAC).
“Seronok dapat melihat Viper Challenge terus menyajikan pelbagai cabaran baru termasuklah beberapa halangan yang mencabar dan menyeronokkan. Saya harap akan dapat mengambil bahagian lagi pada tahun depan untuk mencuba halangan lain yang unik,” kata Kavin.
Seorang lagi peserta, Loh Yoke Seen pula memuji Viper Challenge yang baginya bukan sahaja menguji kekuatan mental dan fizikal tetapi mengeratkan hubungan antara peserta.
“Ya, ini adalah kali pertama saya menyertai Viper Challenge dan saya sangat gembira dapat melaluinya bersama rakan-rakan. Tanpa bantuan mereka, saya pasti tidak dapat menghabiskan cabaran ini. Secara keseluruhan, ianya satu pengalaman menarik dan begitu berbaloi dapat mengambil bahagian,” kata pegawai akaun berusia 23 tahun itu.
Great Eastern Viper Challenge 2017 dibawakan oleh Great Eastern Life sebagai sebahagian daripada Program LIVE GREAT mereka, iaitu program kesihatan bersepadu yang pertama oleh syarikat insurans di rantau ini.
