This race by far is the most unique running event many had ever experienced.Running in the zoo compound and being watched by animal and birds is so much different from the usual busy road race.
Instead of complaining about air being polluted by carbon monoxide emitted by vehicles and dust, we have here the smell pollution.Initially many runners felt uncomfortable with the pong but after sometime it eventually disappeared.
We don't have to elaborate about safety here unless you provoke an animal and it chase after you.Since the race started before the public throng the zoo as it was Sunday,we enjoyed our run as the air was cool as the whole surroundings are shady.
The response for this event was simply amazing.The race was closed for registration only after two days of announcing it.Great support and different running atsmosphere were the main factor contributed to their success here.
The organising was good.Registration was made easy at the entrance of the zoo,one can't missed it.Oil lamps were lit to help and guide runners to the starting point in the dark.A small luggage area was set up for the runners as some of the runners would take a stroll later after the run with their family.
Mr Kelvin,the spokesman for the organiser gave a welcome speech before he briefed the runners on the water station,the running route and also to warn runners not to litter.As usual he would crack jokes.
All runners were rewarded with a beautiful finisher medal.A light breakfast was served after the race.
Four KPAC members took part.They were Murali Nathan,Naresh Kumar,Gunaseelan and myself.Murali and Naresh won a trophy each for their 2nd and 4th position respectitively.For full results please click here.
