This morning's road race is one not many runners can experience unless you are an RMAF personnel.Runners get the opportunity to run on the 3km runway of RMAF in Sg Besi Base before pursue to the main road that leads to KL city.
As we finally found the entrance to this military base,we were guided to where we are suppose to park our car by friendly Air Force personnels at every corners leading us to a hangar that housed several units of old fighting airplane and helicopter.
Later we were informed that buses were used to shuttle the runners to the starting point,l guessed it is about 2 km away right in the middle of the Air Force base.Normal procedure to hand over the reporting cards to FTAAA officers.A treat of warm up session by the Fitness First aerobics instructors light up the running moods as more and more runners were pouring in to the enclosure.

It was not a pleasant experience for me to run on the runway.Acres of land without a single tree is a no-no for running especially for me.Except for the fireworks that greet us through out the 3km route,it was a boring affair.
But l have to give a thumb up to the organizer of this event.It was a very well organised race and professionally planned base on the facilities such as many mobile loos,the bus shuttling service and also for the road safety measure.Lines of safety cone to prevent vehicles from trespassing into our running path that could interrupt the runners' focus and concentrate during their run.There were adequate water stations,in fact l lost count of them-to make sure runners hydrate themselves and yes,at 10 km mark (Dataran Merdeka) power gels were given out.
