Cyberjaya Marathon 2014 - Open for registration very soon!

Who wants to run a full marathon at Cyberjaya?

Just when yours truly thought the local running seen couldn't get any better, and that December would be a slow month, along comes the latest edition to marathon running in the shape of the Cyberjaya Marathon. Thanks to the organisers I was able meet the people behind the scenes and learn a bit more about the event. Suffice to say this is a real 42.195km event, unlike some others who call themselves such, and are half a marathon short. It will feature the aforementioned full marathon and a half marathon. Much like BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon, the event will reward finishers of both categories with medals and finisher t-shirts. The start time for the FM will be 4am and for the HM it will be 5am. The cut off times will be 7 hours and 3.5 hours respectively. I have been informed that registration will open very soon. So keep an eye on this page or visit their Facebook page for the latest information.

Bukit Jalil Marathon 2015

A Marathon at Bukit Jalil?

Was waiting for when the Brooks Half Marathon would pop up. Then suddenly there's the Bukit Jalil Marathon 2015. This event is also organised by the Taman Bukit Jalil Running Club. I see that Brooks is the main sponsor, but not the title sponsor. That said, why do they call it Marathon instead of Half Marathon. Well what do I know of such things? In towns in Sarawak we have many 'marathons' too and these can range from 5km runs to 21km runs. Of course now the public in Kuching have been educated to what a marathon actually is by the inaugural Kuching Marathon. This event will be held at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on 8th March 2015 at 5am. Registration is now available here. From all the information I have garnered this is essentially the same Brooks Half Marathon, except that the event has been 'upgraded' to marathon status to become the Bukit Jalil Marathon 2015. Strangely also the 5km category is closed and is only for sponsor and associate. Oh well am sure when their Facebook page opens we can learn more. Unfortunately I cannot see the wording on the running vest or the finisher t-shirt clearly. All in due time I guess.

Terry Fox Run KL 2014

No Registrations | No Entry Fee | All are Welcome

Now this is my kind of run. Last year I wasn't able to run this, and it looks like the same will happen again this year, no thanks to the clash of runs. However like last year, this year I intend to purchase the t-shirt and run in it on one of my training runs.  The run will be held on November 2nd 2014 at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa! T-Shirt availability and sale locations will be coming soon. For those who don't already know, Terry Fox Run is a non commercial and non competitive run organised by individual volunteers. They do not allow any form of advertising or marketing during the run in respect to Terry Fox's original wish. People contribute to the run because they want to make a difference for Cancer Research, not because there is another agenda in mind. The Run also does not require any form of registration, all you need to do? Just show up and run! Those who want to see how the previous run went can click here.
