Dataran Merdeka
Kuala Lumpur
Despite the huge response given by both the foreign and local runners,the organizer failed in its duty to create a more lively running atmosphere.The Dataran Merdeka was unusual quiet unlike most of the running events held here before.
No loud music and vigorous warm up session,runners were seen yawning in the canopies resembled diners waiting to be served in a Chinese wedding dinner.Even the event's commentators got too little to say.
Only about 50 KPAC members registered for this inaugural SCKLM and half of them signed up for the full marathon.Most of them performed rather well and their hard works of training were paid off.Congratulations!
The cool and fresh breezy wet condition was an advantage to many amid the humid and hazy weather nowadays.
Along the route,water stations were aplenty and mobile toilets were available at certain distances.There were road markers for the full marathon but there was none for the 21km category.
The full,half and 10k runners met at Jalan Istana.The 10k runners made up more than half of the registered participants and they occupied and blocked almost the entire reserved running route along the highway.
The full and half marathoners had to navigate themselves to avoid bumping into the slow 10k runners.It was an irritating experience to run in and out among those walking side by side.
Medals collection at the finishing line was a new procedure to many.You need to ask around where to collect your deserved medals.
