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.

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.
