Kuala Lumpur City Day Run 22/02/2009

The last race event that was staged here in Dataran Merdeka as long as l can remember was the Merdeka Unity Run which was held on 17th August 2008.The atmosphere was still the same as before.Runners began to flock the dataran as the clock ticking towards the starting time.

Bang..7.30 am sharp the race was officially gunned off by Datuk Haji Salleh B Yusup,the director general of Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL)

As expected the number of participation was very encouraging.Probably due to the ban imposed on the international runners such as the Kenyans recently by the FTAAA and the cheap registration fee of rm5.00.Moreover the medals allocated for each category were increased.

However,unlike the good times,the number of sponsors deteriorated.Only MILO and 100plus were seen giving out free drinks to participants.

As usual the men open,women open and men junior veteran which were required to run the 10km course started the race.And later the 7 km run which was made up of the junior and senior runners.
