Hometown runners and KPAC 's dominated the run but the organiser stole the limelight.Warm and friendly organising committees together with the ever smiling volunteers made everyone of us feel at home.
Nearly a thousand runners took part and the race was punctually flagged off.The route resemble the letter 'P' and it covered a total distance of 9.8km.Except for a short hilly climb at the beginning and the ending parts,it was a rather flat affair.
As usual a water station at 5km mark and what missing was obviously the road markers.Traffic control was fine and motorists were seen patiently waiting for runners to pass by.
Runners were required to run the last 100m stretch on the sandy beach to the finishing line.Loud music and friendly volunteers were there to welcome back all the participants.Later singing and dancing show to entertain the tired and exhausted runners.Fruits and drinks were aplenty.
Our runners emerged champions in the men and women categories.A one two finishing in the men open category brought a big smile for our president.A battle between Ahmad Lamchannak and Murali Nathan with strong challenges from the rest,the small built Moroccan won the race.Another KPAC member,Naresh Kumar finished in 7th placing.
To make it a more memorable day,the 4th and 5th place winners,Mr Casey Lim Khon Seng and En Jasni Khairul,both potential runners from KL joined us as KPAC members along with another veteran runner En Alam Shah.
Thalagavathy,who has been rested for awhile due to injuries,made a surprise appearance and won the women open category.Besides that Dhan Bahadur and Siow Kek Keong earned 3rd and 5th position respectitively in the Men Junior Veteran category.
And what really made our president proud at Teluk Cempedak was his daugther,Ms Wong Yea Yiing.She won 3rd place in the students category and it was her's few race.
