Why Virtual Run
In the midst of our busy work schedules, it’s easy to forget the importance of staying active. Long hours of sitting and screen time can take a toll on our health over time, and that’s something we are committed to changing.
To foster a sense of involvement among colleagues and promote a spirit of active living, Cube Connect kicked off the very first Cube Virtual Run after spending a lot of time exploring different ideas. To make testing and adjustments easier and to achieve our event goals more effectively, we chose the Malaysian team as the target for the first Cube Connect activity.
Kicking off the Cube Virtual Run in Malaysia
After sharing the purpose behind this initiative, we were thrilled to receive support from the management. With that green light, we began a series of preparations that included discussing the running distance, prize selection, event duration, how to verify results, promotional strategies, and more.
As a result, we decided to hold from June 16 to July 15, with the event inviting staff to take on a personal fitness challenge by completing either a 10km or 20km run at their own pace. When choosing the prizes, we wanted to give participants something that promotes a healthy lifestyle. So, we put our heads together and brainstormed items that support wellness, finally settling on the prizes.
To keep the team motivated and constantly reminded to push their limits, we sent out several EDMs (email newsletters) filled with encouragement and updates. Beyond emails, we also sparked enthusiasm through casual conversations and friendly reminders, stirring up a healthy competitive spirit and encouraging everyone to stay active and aim for the prizes.
In addition, we printed standee buntings and displayed them in the reception area and the co-working area of Cube PJ to constantly remind our team that the challenge is ongoing. Interestingly, the standee also caught the attention of our co-working customers, who have shown interest in the event and are looking forward to one designed specially for them.
From Hesitation to High Spirits
At first, the team was a little unsure about the Virtual Run concept. We explained the purpose and encouraged them, and everyone became excited about the initiative and willingly joined in.
Throughout the month, the event brought a wave of energy across the office. It sparked lively discussions, playful competition, and genuine encouragement between colleagues. The buzz around the run, even the jokes shared in team chats, turned this into more than just a fitness activity. It became a meaningful way to strengthen workplace bonds. This is exactly the outcome Cube Connect was hoping for.
Seeing such enthusiastic participation from everyone, we decided to introduce an extra reward for the two participants who ran the longest distance overall. This decision was made to encourage everyone to keep going and not give up. Even if you’re not the fastest to complete your goal, as long as you push yourself and run the furthest, you still stand a chance to win!
