Batman v. Superman Run 2016

• 18 September 2016
• Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur   
• Flagged off at:-

6.45a.m. for 10km

7.25a.m. for 5km

• Price – RM90.00 early bird for 10km
• Race Pack – Black drawstring bag, sleeveless  Batman t-shirt (I chose Batman team), timing chip for our shoes, wrist band, Appeton (chewable vitamin C, blackcurrant flavour), sample Acti-Tape and Follow Me 6 in 1 shampoo
• Goodies – Medal, a bottle of mineral water, green apple and lots of snacks  

Rinnie and myself arrived at 6.05am and lots of people were already there. We had to park on a hill, nearby a low density condominium.

The organiser flagged the 10 km runners off at 6.45am and the 6 km runners were flagged off slightly early at 7.25am as there were dark clouds.

It was a cooling run but worst of all, if you were to challenge yourself with the 10km, it was the hilly run. During this run, not only will you see bungalows, but also mansions and a few abandoned bungalows, either for sale or for rent.

Mineral water was provided at 2km, 6km and 8km. At the water stations, the organisers also provided portable toilets.

As we reached 8km, we noticed that those running 5km joined in with those running 10km. We were unable to run at this point as most of the 5km runners were walking and there were so many kids running and parents with strollers. The organiser should have designated a different route for the 5km fun run.   

Upon arrival, we were given a bottle of mineral water, a green apple and our medal. We thought that there will be 5 km and 10 km finisher medals but to our surprise, 1 medal for both runs. If I knew earlier, I would have signed up for 5km and not 10km.    If you finished fast and queued up, you received a box of cereal. Unfortunately, I was not fast enough and had to queue up (however we cut the queue) to get some snacks.   

These are the snacks

The organisers announced that the Batman team won the 5 and 10km runs, based on the number of runners that arrived early at the finishing line.

For my next run in Padang Merbok, I will not sign up for 10km anymore. Too many hills and super tiring.

There were also other activities at the event. Check out the pictures below:-
