More Than a Race: Crystalin RunXperience 2025, Successful Run with Over 8,000 Runners and Three Unique Experiences

Running has become an integral part of the Indonesian lifestyle. According to data from kalenderlari.com, approximately 420 running events, ranging from Fun Runs, Road Races, to Ultra Trails, were held across various regions throughout 2024. This number is projected to increase to between 400 and 450 running events across Indonesia in 2025. Aligned with this trend, Crystalin, a packaged drinking water product (AMDK) from OT Group, organized the Crystalin RunXperience 2025, successfully attracting over 8,000 runners at Lippo Mall Nusantara. This event follows the success of last year’s run, which gathered 3,600 participants at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. This year, the Crystalin RunXperience is more complete with the addition of the Half Marathon (21K) category, complementing the popular 2.5K Fun Run, 5K, and 10K categories, and introducing three unique experiences under the theme: Crystalin RunXperience 2025, More Than a Race.

The Crystalin RunXperience 2025 offered participants three unique experiences. First, an iconic Half Marathon (21K) route, which passes over the Antasari flyover, offering a challenging yet unforgettable panorama of Jakarta from a height. Second, an integrated indoor and outdoor race village within the public area and Lippo Mall Nusantara, creating a dynamic and comfortable interaction space for runners and visitors. This village was more than just a gathering point; it was a vibrant space combining a healthy lifestyle, entertainment, and local culture, featuring an indoor garden area, dancing fountain, interactive booths, and community zones. Third, an exploration of Nusantara culinary delights at the Nusantara Foodcourt, featuring Betawi, Javanese, and Chinese cuisines, which pampered the palates of the participants after their run. The Crystalin RunXperience 2025 clearly positions itself as more than just a running event, but a provider of diverse, unique experiences.

The phenomenal Crystalin RunXperience race pack made a comeback this year with a special edition surprise, featuring a collaboration between Crystalin, Garuda Indonesia, and Tahilalats. The Crystalin RunXperience 2025 also provided cash prizes for winners across seven categories (General and Master), a free 6-month supply of Crystalin for the winners, and various attractive door prizes with a total prize value of 300 million Rupiah.

"We are thrilled to see the incredible enthusiasm for the Crystalin RunXperience 2025. Over 8,000 participants, a two-fold increase from our first event, shows that running is not just a sport but a healthy lifestyle increasingly favored by the Indonesian public. Over the last two years, Crystalin has not only sponsored various running events but also become an organizer through the Crystalin RunXperience 2024 and 2025. We hope the Crystalin RunXperience can continue to be a platform for runners and the public to enjoy a unique experience with Crystalin. Our commitment is to make Crystalin RunXperience an annual running event that is always anticipated by both runners and the community," said Wijoyo Setionegoro, Marketing Director of Crystalin.

Febby Rastanty, Actress and Running Enthusiast, also enlivened the "Crystalin RunXperience 2025." "Running is simple yet powerful. Besides making the body healthy, running can also be a way for healing and building camaraderie with friends and family," she expressed. Febby, who completed her fifth world-class marathon, the Boston Marathon 2025, shared tips on pursuing running. "Running is not just about covering a certain distance. Running is about conquering yourself, listening to your body, and appreciating every step that brings us closer to a stronger version of ourselves. The Crystalin RunXperience 2025 is proof that a healthy lifestyle is a journey we enjoy together," Febby explained.
