Turbo Snail Run 1.0



20km

LSD Run for Slowpokes


For those looking for another official run in Kuching, this is not it. This is an LSD run for slowpokes. Only join if you are a slow runner. All right, if fast runners want to join, they can too, but you will be far ahead of the turbo snails. The distance is 20km. The run starts at 5am on Sunday (2nd March 2014). The meeting point is outside Penview Inn. Those who want to run the route should bring enough water to sustain them for the duration of the run. If not at least bring money to buy drinks at the 24 Hour KFC at Medan Hamidah or at the Petronas station along the toll road. Please be assured that no matter how slow your pace is, we will keep an eye on you. Please bring a fully charged mobile phone and wear reflective clothing or blinking lights. All runners are advised to run against the flow of traffic. Those wanting to know more about the route can contact me through Facebook or email me at yamiska@yahoo.com, if you do not already have my mobile phone number. Happy running everyone!

Swinburne Sarawak Running Club - Monday Night Run



5km Night Run

Not everyone can run like a Kenyan or an Ethiopian. Many of us just like to run. The Swinburne Running Club organises weekly Monday night runs for those interested to run in a group. For the Monday Night Run, novices are most welcomed. Runs like these are especially convenient for women who need to train at night and worry about running alone. Rest assured that there will be experienced runners to lead them as well as act as sweeper for the slower runners and first timers. The next night run will be at 7.30pm on 3rd March. The route will be the usual Spring Live Active Run 5km. Runners must congregate at the main entrance of the Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus by 7pm. Please wear bright coloured reflective clothing and also also have some form of strobe or blinking lights for your safety. Don't forget to wear running shoes, unless of course you plan to run barefoot. Also it is recommended to have your handphone with you just in case of an emergency. The club is not responsible for any injuries that occur during the run. Runners run at their own risk. Remember this is not a race. Think of it as a training run. The idea is for everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves. For further enquiries please contact Mr. Christopher Sia (012-8569380).
