Sesame Street has been a big part of my childhood. I remember watching Elmo on TV along with the rest of his furry friends. It’s the most loved children TV show of all time, and now they’re celebrating their 50th anniversary at their Sesame Street Run on August 17, 2019.
We all know that Sesame Street, the famous and well-loved children’s television program in the world, turns 50. As part of its golden celebration, Heroes PTe Ltd has partnered with Sesame Workshop, debuting the first-ever Sesame Street goes to other Southeast Asian countries – Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore.
In line with the five splendid decades of Sesame Street, about 10,000 runners are expected to participate in the run. They’ll feature a five-kilometer family fun run across all ages. On its 50th birthday, witness Sesame Street Giant Birthday cake blowout before the flag off with a special countdown by Count Von Count. Get showered with Abby’s Magic Dust before running into a fun-filled 5KM Sesame Street Run. Meet Sesame Street characters like Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and the gang at the starting line and relive childhood memories.
At the run, Sesame Street will treat its participants to many exciting activities that they will sure love. For five decades, we have seen how Sesame Street made learning fun for children.
