American DJ Lil Jon To Headline The HCMC Prisma Run In November

Kelly Clarkson isn’t the only American star on their way to Vietnam later this year. American DJ, Lil Jon, will be headlining the November 22 Prisma Run in District 2, greeting runners at the finish line with his rhymes and gold-plated challis.

The 5km run, organized by HCMC-based Pulse Active Ltd, the same team that brought the Color Me Run to Vietnam earlier this year, will take place at night, “combin[ing] sport, music and visual effects,” according to The Saigon Times.

Checkpoints will be set up along the way, with each offering participants different activities. Lil Jon, Atran and Mandfred (Singapore), Katsy Lee and Ace Ramos (the Philippines) will perform after runners reach the final checkpoint.

Tickets for the event are priced at VND550,000 if you register by October 19 and VND650,000 – VND700,000 after that date. For more information, call: 0919 327 323 or check out www.facebook.com/theprismarun.

Lil Jon has been active since 1993 and made waves when he teamed up with Usher for the 2004 hit “Yeah” and this year won Best Direction at the MTV Music Awards for “Turn Down For What.”
