NEW BALANCE KLANG PACERS 12 KM Run 12/10/2008
Of all the three races that the KPAC organised in the recent years,the Run4it II is the most well organised and successful one.The race received overwhelming response from not only the locals but attracted foreigners as well.Estimated one thousand runners turned up at Padang Sultan Sulaiman as early 6.00 am.
For the second edition of Run4it,there were two changes in the running route.First,instead of Jalan Tun Dr Ismail (the road leads to Taman Sri Andalas) the organiser felt that the Jalan Tun Sambanthan is more suitable due to lesser traffic eventhough the distance is farther and is a very straight road.
Secondly,runners took a shorter run just behind the stadium by turning left.The previous route was straight to the commuter station and then back to the stadium.
There were many police traffic and RELA members deployed to all corners and junctions to make sure the safety of runners are taken care of eventhough there were some minor misunderstandings between runners and inconsiderate drivers.
The race was delayed for about 10 minutes due to some unforeseen circumstances.It was gunned off by the Sg Pinang assembly man,YB Mr Teng Chang Kim who is also the Selangor State Assembly Speaker.The men started first, followed by the ladies 5 minutes later.
Overall many runners were satisfied with the run and promise to come back for the third edition of Run4it.The KPAC would like to thank all sponsors,volunteers and not forgetting the runners themselves for making this run a memorable one.

Panorama Hill Challenge (Sg Lembing) - 21/09/2008
Sungai Lembing is a small sleepy and peaceful village located outskirt of Kuantan Town.Famous with its tin mining history back in the 19th century,the majority of the population are Chinese and Malay.
Life is slow and it seems that almost everybody knows each other.Last Sunday,the quiet Sungai Lembing suddenly became alive.The Sin Chew Daily and Pacesetters Kuantan's group co organised the Carnival Sungai Lembing.
Residents from adjacent villages and buses from outstation ferried runners and visitors began to arrive as early as 6.30 am.As the sun rose,the crowd also picked up in numbers. Besides the food courts,3 on 3 basketball competition,road safety awareness campaign and books and magazines exhibition, the main event of this carnival was the Panorama Hill challenge.
About 200 runners took part in this race and was divided into few categories.A welcome speech by Mr William Chin,the new PACM Kuantan group leader before he briefed the runners on the safety and running route.It was a very challenging race because the undulating course comprised a series of 'waves' and to cross two hanging bridges before the runners reached the foot of the killer Panorama Hill which is about 300 meter high.
The Panorama Hill is overlooking the Kuantan Town and its surrounding areas.The climb to the top of the hill prove too tough and exhausting to many runners.Only the fittest were able to run up there.
Overall,the KPAC members were satisfied with their performance.Four of them finished the race in the top 8 position and won small hampers as rewards.

Back to Nature Relay 2008 - 14/09/2008
No huge canopies,no sophisticated blasting sound system and no live performances by local artistes or warm up session by fitness instructors yet the running atmosphere was there.There were many teams signed up for this simple road relay race organized by 3R Circle at Taman Metropolitan Batu,Kuala Lumpur this morning.
The KPAC would like to thank Mr Peter Goh,one of the organizing committee for helping us to register and even help us to name our teams-Klang Pacer 1 (men open) and Klang Pacer 2 (men junior veteran).Klang Pacer 1 comprised of Ng Swee Yee as first runner,Jayakumar as second and Vigneswaran as final runner wherelse Klang Pacer 2 was represented by Wong Soon Pin,Maniarasu and Ter Yew Tiong.
It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning when participants began to arrive at the venue as early as 6.30 am.Although this is Puasa month,but there were many hardcore Muslim runners turned up to take part.A big applause should be given to them for their running spirit.
The KPAC runners.From left to right:Ter Yew Tiong,Wong Soon Pin,Maniarasu,Jayakumar,NgSwee Yee and Vigneswaran.
There was a slight delay for the start because of some last minute alterations and running bibs were given once the runners signed on the registration form.There were 5 categories for this race namely men open,men junior veteran,men senior veteran,women open and mixed team.
All categories were flagged off simultaneously.First runner of SMK Bukit Mewah of Negeri Sembilan,Dhiban Raj gave his team an early lead followed closely by R.Nanchappan of Cool Runners(senior veteran category) and our runner,Ng Swee Yee came in third before the baton change hand.Once Jayakumar got hold of the baton,he quickly closed the gap and eventually took over the lead after 1 km run and passed the baton to our final runner,Vigneswaran who returned to the finishing line unchallenged with a combined time of 39m 43s.
As for our junior veteran team,Ter and Maniarasu replaced Dhan Bahadur and Zainuddin.Dhan was down with dengue fever and Zainuddin cited that he was not physically prepared and lack of confidence.But our team performed equally well and emerged champions too in their category eventhough they lost to the senior veteran champions-the Cool Runners by merely 20 meters behind.
This is the second relay competition that KPAC took part this year.We hope to take part more in the future to gain some exposures and experience on how to organize one.
Credits should be given to all the organizing committees for their exemplary effort especially Ms Julie Wong. Her powerful voice could be heard distant away, jokingly threaten to disqualify excited runners that blocked the running path.Although there were some grouses over some misunderstandings such as delay in distributing the drinking water to those completed the race early,generally we KPAC runners enjoyed the race very much.
