Nickelodeon's Spongebob Run Debuts in Asia!

You probably know who lives in a pineapple under the sea but not my boy since he has minimum exposure to all electronic gadgets..hee! Since its launch in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has emerged as a pop culture phenomenon. As the most widely distributed property in Viacom history, SpongeBob is seen in over 185 countries and translated in more than 50 languages. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.


And, here's the great news! Nickelodeon's first ever SpongeBob Run in Asia, presented by X-Change Republic, will flag off in Singapore on Saturday, 6 August 2016 at Siloso Beach Walk Sentosa! Join SpongeBob SquarePants in search of his missing best friend Patrick Star via a fun run which will see participants cover a five kilometre route showcasing iconic landmarks from the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, including the Krusty Krab, and the houses that SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward Tentacles live in. The race course is also lined with many trigger-happy opportunities for participants to snap a #wefie with SpongeBob and his friends in life-size cutout boards, such as Sandy Cheeks in her pressurized suit and SpongeBob's pet sea snail Gary.


On the same day, a carnival filled with nautical-themed activities, food and beverages, awaits SpongeBob fans and their families. At the end of the race, fans can enjoy a screening of three episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants with their loved ones. The first 30 participants who finish the race will get the opportunity to meet SpongeBob and Patrick.

Nickelodeon enjoys giving kids and their families playful entertainment experiences," said Claire O'Connor, Vice President of Consumer Products and Retail Marketing, Asia Pacific, Viacom International Media Networks. "It is a fantastic recipe having SpongeBob as the ambassador for this fun run. It encourages families to get out and run together, especially in the lead-up to National Day."

Even though BB may not recognise SpongeBob and his friends yet, I'm sure he'll by the end of the run ~.< I doubt any kid can resist the cuteness overloaded characters. Furthermore, it'll be our first family run together. In fact, it's all our virgin run..lolz! Oh mine, I'm so looking forward to it! August, please come faster!!!
