Melawati 10k 2009 - 29/03/2009

This morning road race was co organised by the Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ) and Kelab Rekreasi Taman Melawati with collaboration of JKP ZON 1.

The organising was way too simple for an event that is open to foreigners.Except for the spirit of patriotism where our national anthem was played just before the flag off,the organisers failed to lift up the running atmosphere.

The route was superb for a 10k race.The much challenging hills and undulating slopes with cool and fresh environment is the only consolation to this event.

Yes,there were many police traffics manning the roundabouts and junctions,but the organisers failed to set up at least one waterstation in the mid of the race.No check points where normally officials or volunteers would hand out ribbons to make sure everyone has a fair run.

Probably the impact of the global economy crisis had hit this event.Grouses were heard that only two drinks sponsors were seen-the 100plus and Vico at the finishing point.No free breakfast for the runners except for a nice finishing medal for every runners.


Our members were there to support the run.From L to R:Zainuddin,Dhan Bahadur,Syanizam,Wong Soon Pin,Kamaruzaman and Leong Ann Lok.
