Malakoff KL 2012: Event Day

Well, well, well! Perhaps this is the second last event of the year with major participation by EFRs, before Newton Challenge 2013. While we only had 4 representatives participated in the same event last year, this year, we have MORE THAN 10 EFRs! Good, good, good. It seems that our fun runners here take a healthy lifestyle very seriously. However, only 1 out of 4 EFRs joined last year who ran again this time - EFR 1.

Therefore, some of EFRs (for the first time), they quite shocked when Men's category flagged off first. Haha..Malakoff Run memang like that maaa! Overall, talking about the event, Malakoff has been a popular brand for many, many, many sports event, and with PACM being the organiser, everything has gone very well. The route was the same as per last year, with the expected uphill slopes that challenged the runners. However, 2 loops made the race route more predictable when you were at your second. It helped a lot, especially the amateur runners like us, who normally do not really care about the race route before the race. Haha.

EFRs milestone - EFR 1 claimed his PB and being the fastest among other EFRs, despite not happy with his result. EFR 7 claimed her PB and she thanked to her participation in Chief Original Bootcamp

Goodies, wow, the best! Finishing medal, exactly the same design like Malakoff Penang 2012 earlier this year (however predictable). Pink/orange race shirt, awesome! Event, makes us happy! We would proud to join again next year. To all EFRs, the end of Malakoff KL 2012, is the start of registration for Malakoff Penang 2013. We have been informed that EFR 3 has been among the earliest to claim the spot. So, come and join for next year's run, kawan2.

Here are the snapshots of the event day. Enjoy!

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2012: Event Day

It's the marathon with the most participation by EFRs. Total 25 EFRs registered, however 2 gave it up at the very last minute. Other than almost 34,500 runners, which caused massive and unacceptable queue at the 100 Plus booth, the event was still interesting. Held for the last time on the current bridge (next year will take place on the new bridge), it is why many people take part and take chance to snap some pics on the bridge. Some EFRs joined Fad to run in his wedding costume.

Great Eastern Life Great Run 2012: Event Day

Event: Live Great Run 2012
Venue: Menara Matrade, KL
Date: 4 November 2012
Day: Sunday
Time: 7 a.m.
Race owner: Great Eastern Life Assurance Malaysia Berhad
Race organiser: Hivelocity
Categories: 12km & 3km Fun Run

12KM (All EFRs are here)

Another great race on a great day by a great organiser, it is Live Great Run 2012. Most of us really satisfied on how the race being organised. The only 'fuuhhh' factors are numbers of uphill slopes, can say 3 of them. Plus, the unique and interesting kind of obstacles/challenge provided along the route. The runners needed to jump over two plastic barriers and escape the barricades. But still the winner of Men's Open recorded 42:42 mins, damn fast, walaoweh! The 12km race route required runners to past parts of Jalan Duta, Jalan Kuching, Publika, Istana Negara and also Hartamas Shopping Centre.

3KM (None of EFR join this, too bad, haha)

Other than 12km route, there is also 3km Fun Run category. The runners in this event wearing some sort of "double t-shirt", it's very unique. Perhaps the similar height of both runners in pair (not vary by more than 1 foot) would help. The organiser said, this (double/twin t-shirt) is intended to promote building meaningful relationships with the ones you love. Not like 12km, the 3km runners' route past Jabatan Kastam & Eksais Di Raja Malaysia.

Taking picture with the outstanding veteran runner, damn cool!
Commercial break for a second, EFR blog is NOT a one man show. There is a team of numbers of editors. 

However, me (being one of the editor), myself, individually, I really LOVE the medal design soooooo much. Traditionally circle shape, without pin (suspension rings) attaching the ribbons with the metal plate, it is absolutely my favourite. Other than this special token of appreciation, overall, the event has been well organised. There is enough and efficient water stations, thanks to the volunteers. I love the sponge station, though I only normally saw this at night running event, due to heating condition. The finishing area was so big and happening. We did took a number of pictures there. Log on to our facebook page for more pictures.

Ikhwan (EFR) spotted, he recorded his 12km PB today!
