Date: 31 Jan 2010
Time: 7.30am
Venue: Majlis Sukan Negara

The events was over whelming, many teams participated especially from school kids. There were from Bentong, Ipoh, Kedah. Bentong school itself sent 50+ teams to join the events. But unfortunately the organiser was so kedekut, did not provide any cash prize for them even thought they ran the same distance and they have to wait longer as they were started at last category. At least should provide them cash prize RM300, RM200 and RM100 to encourge and motivate them to continue running.

The starting was a bit kelam kabut. The men open started first followed by mixed teams. Then the rest of the categories have to wait until most of the teams came back then only able to start. This maybe was due to lack of batons and also to avoid the massed in recording the timing if all the categories start together.

The route is under 3km. Initially the starting point was inside the car park Gate C, but was moved to outside near the pintu. The road was narrow and many cars move in and out, especially the yellow ambulance.

The prize presentation suppose to start at 9.30am but was delay to 10.30am due to extra time needed to finalise the winners. Overall it was a great event, hopefully next year they will organise it again.

SC Dubai Marathon 2010 - Haile Won

GEBRSELASSIE WINS BUT MISSES RECORD
By David Martin, Press Association Sport, Dubai
Haile Gebrselassie clinched the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon title for the third successive year this morning but it was an unconvincing victory in a slow time of two hours six minutes nine seconds (2:06:09).
Despite achieving his hat-trick, Gebrselassie failed by a big margin to challenge his 18-month-old world record of 2hr 3min 59sec in an attempt which never materialised from the start of the race.

New Balance Pacesetters 30km 2010

Men veteran 30km

Women 10km
Men 10km

Date: 17 Jan 2010
Time: 5.30am
Venue: Padang Merbok, KL
Distance: 30km, 20km, 10km

In short, 30km of slopes and winding hills. Although most avid runners are familiar with the running routes, the arrangement of this year's race was such that it almost created a new challenge, especially in the last 8km or so.

Hazards; as I don't really train much in this area, I found out that some of the streets can be quite hazardous due to lacking of street lights. Police assistance was good, as most traffic junctions were well manned.

Although overall organization of the event was quite good, there seems to be some hiccups that were caused by the lack of road marshalls. It seems that most of the complaints came from the elites and those in the front packs. As there were lots of turning points and small roads, runners depend very much on road marshalls or signage to help them navigate through the course. However, it seems that there were junctions that were not manned at all by marshalls nor the display of any signage. This cause confusion. Others complained that they were misguided by the marshalls, and ended up having to run extra miles due to this. One elite runner gave thumb down when he reached the finishing line.

I personally encountered a junction which was not manned at all..and the pack I was with, almost came to a standstill, until one of us pointed out that one of the road is a no-through road.

Another blunder - distance markers - why races in Malaysia can't have good distance markers?
Having put forward those few minuses above, I have to say that in overall there are more plus points than shortcomings. I am sure the team in Pacesetters has put a lot of effort in the planning and organization of this event. Lets hope they will find alternatives to overcome the shortage of volunteers in the future. (especially in the up coming Energizer - Cyberjaya and darkness will not do without marshall/signage).

For the 30K event, I will definitely come back again next year.
