This run was organised by Berjaya Times Square and since it’s running in the city, the organiser flagged the 15 km runners off sharp at 6.00am and 6 km runners at 6.30am. They had to start so early, otherwise it will be super-jammed in KL city centre on a Sunday morning.

Starting point 

We were informed by the emcee that there were 7,000 runners. We believed that they received huge support due to the personalised t-shirt, i.e. the organiser printed your given name on the back of your T-shirt. There was no warm-ups organised for the runners.

It was super-crowded and difficult to run. We were running on the roads and highways. For the 6km run, we ran heading towards Jalan Bellamy (behind the old Istana Negara) and I finally found the Alice Smith International primary school campus, then we headed towards Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka and back to the city centre, Berjaya Times Square.  The roads were not completely closed, often there was only 1 lane for the runners to run on.

There were 2 uphill runs. There were portable toilets prepared by the organisers. Also, 4 water stations for the 15km runners and 1 water station for the 6 km runners, i.e. at 3.8km, both served Revive isotonic drink and mineral water.

Upon arrival, we were given our medal and mineral water. Then I walked towards the entrance of Berjaya Times Square mall to claim my Zepri Kiwi fruit. Then, went over to the cereal counter for breakfast. I had 3 bowls of cereal to fill up my tummy with a cup of Milo from the Milo truck again. Thanks to Sheila’s brother, who managed to queue for it and gave me his.
