Bidor Half Marathon 26/04/2009

It was a very successful running event organised by the Bidor Runners Club held in Bidor,Perak early this morning.This small Chinese dominated town came alive when thousands of avid runners from all over Malaysia took to the street to participate in the annually half marathon race.

KPAC rendered its fullest support to the run by participating in almost all the categories.Some of us stayed overnight in Bidor or the neighbouring Kampar town and the remaining travelled in the early hours from Klang.

For the first time,KPAC members took part in the 21k team event.We sent two teams.

Team number one was named KPAC 'A' comprised of Richard Habeeya,Naresh Kumar,Murali Nathan and Loi Hin Kai.Meanwhile team number two,KPAC 'B' was made up of Ahmad Lamchanak,Jayakumar,Vigneswaran and Kee Weng Keong.

Our team 'B' emerged champion in a very close fight from our nearest rival,team Brooks Ipoh.A mere two point separated the two teams while our 'A' team was pipped to the fourth position by the Der Pacemakers Network of Kuala Lumpur also by a two point difference.

In the individual event,Dhan Bahadur made us proud too when he bagged the 2nd position in the men veteran 21k with a timing of 1h 31m 50s and Siow Kek Keong,another podium finisher with his 8th position in the men veteran 10k race.

But what made the day more meaningful to our members at Bidor this morning was the presence of a KPAC committee member.We hope more will join him in the near future to give us some support and inspiration.
