Relay competition becomes more and more popular nowadays.Even non competitive event like this KLAVA organised 'Back To Nature Relay' attracted more than 30 teams including those from outstations and school students.And surprisingly many good runners took part too.

To add excitement to this relay competition,many fast runners chose among themselves to form the best teams to challenge each other.The mixed teams made up the most participation.

Our team is the defending champion in the men open.We won the title last September through our triplet of Ng Swee Yee,Jayakumar and Vigneswaran.Today we sent two teams to battle it out in the same category.We expect tough challenge from SMK Bukit Mewah-last year's runner up ,SMK Mambau and also some local teams.We didn't send any representative to defend our junior veteran title due to some complications.

Our first team named as KPAC 1 consist of Jayakumar as captain,Ng Swee Yee and new comer Jagdev Singh and the second team,KPAC 2 were made up of Naresh Kumar as captain,Murali Nathan and Richard Habeeya.Richard replaced Gunaseelan as the first runner as the latter is busy attending to some business outstations.

Naresh,Murali and Guna are our latest recruitment.They joined us last week and the club is more than delighted to have this three talented runners.We welcome more new members to join us.

The battle began when Richard lead the way in the first lap followed closely by one mascular crew cut hair style runner which we suspect is an army from RAMD -Regimen Askar Melayu Diraja.KPAC 1 was just a few metre behind.

When the batons changed hand,KPAC 1 second runner,Jayakumar quickly closing the gap and overtook the runner infront but failed to topple Murali as leader.It was all the way for the KPAC teams to outdo each other.Naresh's lead was short lived when this young Jagdev overtook him in the mid of final lap.KPAC 1 retains the title while KPAC 2 pushed school runners SMK Bukit Mewah to third place.The school boys clocked an improved 39m 26s.
