Adidas King of The Road 2013

The event was held last Sunday morning, 20 October 2013 at NPE highway which was start and finish in front of Sunway Pyramid. 

As Adidas KOTR always has been an event for EFRs to run 10K, this year, EFR 37 (Nazrin), EFR 36 (Ismail), EFR 1 (Ikhwan) and EFR 18 (Min-Yi) tried their 16.8KM categories for the first time. Congratz to all four of them, as they all clocked the nett time around 1h 30m to 1h 40m. Nazrin, the sub 1-hour 10K runner, being the fastest EFR in this category with 1h 32m.

Once again EFR 7 (Shuhid) repeated the history of running back-to-back event, ran 10KM KOTR, after her half marathon at BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon (BSNPNM) on the night before. Last year, she ran 21KM BSNPNM, and then, went off to Singapore to complete her 10KM there.

Adidas King of The Road is EYKLFunRunners' first running event back in 2011, so this time EFR 7 and EFR 9 took part as their 2^nd anniversary year run. EFR 9 managed to clocked new PB, as for EFR 7 she just take it as recovery run. Both of them get sub 2hr for 10km run. EFR 3 being the only EFR to run this 3 times, in 2011, 2012 and this year.

Here are the snapshots from EFR's camera of the day. Enjoy!!

Reebok One Challenge 2013: Event Day & Results

Reebok One Challenge was held yesterday 22 September 2013 at Putrajaya. It was 18.95km run with 9 obstacles in between. As per feedback from all the runners who did it, we felt that Reebok One Challenge is the most well organized running event in Malaysia that our runners have been to since 2011 (as EFR team started in 2011). 

This time EFR  7, 19 and 31 took part in the run. EFR 19 and EFR 31 managed to get sub 2 hours for their run. EFR 7 who started the race 30 ++ minutes late (due to overslept), still keep on going and continue the race eventhough she had to run the first 9km alone before she met bunch of other runners. For her its better late than never, and never ever give up, just continue to run as running is the passion that we all have in common here.

 About the superb organizer, they got plenty water station (some of the runners got “Gatorade Overdose” hahaha); proper medic care with fast service and alert to help injured runners; very friendly, helpful and cheerful volunteers; and the best way to end the run was having a breakfast buffet or we can say brunch meal as the organizer provide Nasi Beriyani, Lamb Chop, Ice Kacang and so on.

It was worth every penny for RM80 registration, as they provide a good service, and all the runners who made it to finish line get a very nice medal and awesome finisher tee. Overall, thumbs up to the organizer, and we will definitely join again next year and hoping for the same level and quality of the event or maybe even better.

ADIDAS King Of The Road 2013: On 20 October 2013??

As we walk through the several websites related to Adidas, we found out this:

ADIDAS KOTR Malaysia will be held on 20th of October 2013??

The image above is on www.adidaskingoftheroad.com, but when you click on word "MALAYSIA", there is nothing come out. So we started to wonder, can we trust this date to book our time? 

So what we did next is to tesk check for the other country, which is, the nearest one, Phillipines. If you click on the word Phillipines, it will bring you to adidaskingoftheroad.com - Phillipines. Know what, the date is correct - 7 July 2013. There are other pictures on that website such as following:

Exclusive ADIDAS KOTR Phillippines 2013 String Bag

Exclusive ADIDAS KOTR Phillipines 2013 Finisher Medal

Given the outcome of our test on ADIDAS KOTR Phillipines, we conclude that the date 20 October 2013 for Adidas KOTR Malaysia may be accurate. 

So what with that date??

It will be a day after BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon 2013 which scheduled on the night of 19 October...

It means some of our EFRs who plan to join Newton Challenge Singapore to get a cool 32KM Polo Finisher Tee won't be able to join ADIDAS KOTR Malaysia...

Same goes to other runners who joined Kinabalu Climbathon...

Haha..nothing to worry about actually. This post is not intended to ask the organiser to change date or sumthing. Just to ask our reader, have you made your decision which event to join? 

...because most probably this year's ADIDAS KOTR Malaysia will be held on 20 October 2013.

16km trail run within 18 hours in 2 countries

Event: Energizer Singapore Night Trail 2013

Date: 11 May 2013

Venue: Mandai, Singapore

EFRs: Shuhid (EFR 7), Adee (EFR 14), Hana (EFR 25)
Distance: 6KM Trail + 3KM Obstacles

Here we go again, as EFR7 and EFR25 love to run in Singapore, they signed up for Energizer Night trail run which was held on the 11^th of May 2013. These 2 girls are crazy, because they have registered for 3KM obstacle run at 3pm and 6KM trail run at 8pm. Their craziness doesn’t stop there as on the next day, the run another 7km deuter trail run in Putrajaya, Malaysia. Other than them, we wont forget EFR 14 who has recently been really  active in blazing the trails.

EFR 25 during 3KM obstacle run

Other than Adee, this was that 2 crazy girls' first trail run and they love it. Both of them love hiking, so trail run was like climbing the mountain but instead of walking they have to run. The obstacle was fun they said. They need to finish the obstacle race within 30 minutes.  For EFR 7 who run with her bootcamp’s friends, she did quite well, finished the 3km obstacle race in 23 minutes and get top 100, thanks to Chief Original Bootcamp training.

EFR 14 reached the finishing line

They only joined 6km for the trail run (other categories was 12km and 18km) at night as they need to save energy for another 7km deuter trail run in the next morning. It is a really off-road run in the forest of Mandai, Singapore. Its easily to get injured if you land your feet wrongly and your ankle easily get twisted. It was very dark, and everyone is given a head-torchlight to ease their run and give them better visibility while running. EFR 7 managed to finished top 100 again, rank at 75 out of 705 people within 55 minutes and EFR25 finished the 6km trail run within 1hr and 19 minutes.

EFR25 after completed her 6km trail run

EFR 7 after completed her 6KM Trail Run

After the race, they are given unlimited cold milo and also ice cream from walls (can choose from paddle pop rainbow, split, vanilla cornetto). They also was given a mosquito repellent before the run and sunblock before the obstacle run in the afternoon. Singapore once again did organized a good run for the participants. There was a carnival where you can play free games and earn prizes and also mini treasure hunts for runners or non-runners to join during their free time.

As expected, with bootcampers..lolx #EFR 7

Event: Deuter Trail Fun Run 2013

Date: 12 May 2013

Venue: Challenge Park, Putrajaya

EFRs: Fadhlul (EFR 3), Shuhid (EFR 7), Nazeem (EFR 16), Hana (EFR 25)

Distance: +-7KM Trail

Well, after the night trail race, they heading back home at their cousin’s place in Bukit Batok, Singapore and have a 5 hours sleep before heading back to Malaysia at 4.30am in the morning. With 3 hours and 20 minutes journey from Singapore to Putrajaya inclusive of few stop along the way to pump up Petrol and to perform Subuh prayer (they cant avoid speeding as they need to be at the race venue before 8am), they managed to reach Putrajaya 10 minutes before the Deuter trail run start. Both EFR7 and EFR25 managed to complete the run and breaking their record to run 16KM trail in total within 18 hours in 2 countries (Singapore and Malaysia). EFR7 and EFR25 somehow prefer the trail route in Putrajaya, Malaysia more as compared to the night trail in Mandai, Singapore. Thumbs up to both of the girls, EFR team proud of you two.
