Invitation to all Gorgeous Geeks.

The Malaysian Women Marathon is here once again – 5th March 2017! 

While everyone has been busy with work, coding classes, online sales or simply being a woman… you must take care of your health as well! What better way to do that than to sign up for a run with other like-minded women or with your family. There is a category for everyone, from the athletic ones who want to go for a marathon to those who just want to take their first steps with a 6km Fun Run. There is even a category for children! 

There are exciting pre-event programs and various event-day programs and goodies for all categories. We’d like to highlight one particular workshop that we think will be exciting for you – the Empowering Women Workshop on 3rd March 2017! It’s a packed half-day workshop with an exciting lineup of speakers including our Gorgeous Geek committee members:
