Steve and I left home at 6.00p.m. and arrived at Sunway Pyramid parking lot at 6.40p.m. We had time to go to The Loaf for some snacks before the run.

Check out the crowds

Prior to the run, the runners were being entertained by the deejays.  There were free slurpees, Ghostbusters sticker tattoos, Zumba and a flash mob to the theme song Ghostbusters.

We were flagged off at 8.00 p.m. sharp. The route was around the Sunway factories and shoplots. The road has lots of pot holes so you really needed to be careful when you ran. Also, certain areas were pretty smelly and that will make you run faster. At one stop there were some Ghostbusters, and you can stop to take a picture with them.

There was 1 water station, serving only mineral water. After the water station, we had to go through an arch where the crew threw green powder in the air and at us. I got some green powder on me, and I must say it’s difficult to get rid of. You really need to scrub it off.

Thereafter, we passed through loud music, leading us to a tent where there were ghosts to greet and scare us.   

Upon arriving at the finishing line, we were asked to dive into the slime pool. Steve dived into the slime pool (without taking off his running shoes) and I went inside, holding to the sides of the inflated pool (and took off my running shoes).

Steve ran all the way from beginning till the end and finished at less than 25 minutes, perhaps top 10. I managed to finish it in 45 minutes. Steve checked and he said we ran about 5.4km. 

When we arrived at the finishing point, we were given our medal and mineral water. You can help yourself to a green slurpee and start queuing for your lucky dip. The lucky dip was not that exciting. Steve got a free ticket to TGV and I got a slimming voucher (OMG).

It’s worth it for the money we paid and the organiser did a good job to entertain the runners.  We thought it was going to be rubbish but it was a good run.
