Yes...the most happening running event of the year was here this morning at the piazza of The Curve Mutiara Damansara.It was a huge success for Boustead Petroleum Sdn Bhd as organiser for the fourth edition of the quarter marathon.
According to the press,registration hit 3,000 in a very short period.Why...?because it was free for everyone and most runners without any hesitation took this opportunity to sign up,competitive run hardly comes free nowadays.
Eventhough there wasn't any medals,but great prizes were offered to the top finishers of the six categories.Two categories for men-'A' for the men veteran and 'C', the men open were flagged off at 7.35am after a slight delay, followed 5 minutes later by the women categories-the 'B' and 'D' and lastly for the boys and girls-'E' and 'F'.
The distance was farther compared to the one organised last year,as claimed by the organiser.The run took a different turning at the start to complete an extra few hundred metre.The cool and fresh morning inspired the runners through the undulating routes along the quiet neighborhood of Damansara.
The organising was excellence.Many runners were seen giggling away especially the women in the live video shooting.Why not...live actions in the big screen at The Curve! Free nasi lemak,cereal flakes and snacks with drinks ranging from coffee to isotonic and energy drink for breakfast.
Upon finishing the run,every runners received a completion certificate and a goodie bag that contains among others are the redemption and discount vouchers.
Look at that...a picture speaks better.Thousands huddled in the foyer next to the cineplex
Participants line up to collect their goodie bags .....
