7th Malaysia Ekiden Run - Top 5 Official Results

Date: 27 May 2012

A - MIXED TEAM - 159 TEAMS
B - MEN OPEN - 129 TEAMS
C - WOMEN OPEN - 38 TEAMS
D - MEN JUNIOR - 449 TEAMS
E - WOMEN JUNIOR - 273 TEAMS
 TOTAL = 1048 TEAMS

This event attracted more runners compare to the event a day before - SC Fun Run, even though it was not free. There were 5200+ runners joined in this annual relay event. The 14.8km route divided into 5 zones and each zone distance is vary from 2.4km to 3.5km. As there were more than 1000 runners per zone, so about 10 buses round trip is needed to transport runners to each zone. Runners have to wait for their member to arrive and passed on the sash. It was weird to notice that some runners arrived at the changing zone but can't find their team member, some runners messed up the sash with the ear phone when removing it and some runners don't know who are their team members.

Light breakfast was provided but many became rubbish on the floor and bottle also threw at the middle of the road. Good to see more juniors taking part in the event and show interest in running. Hopefully next year the organizer could prepare more backdrops for runners to take photo instead of everyone cramped at the stage and to avoid disappointment.
