Seremban Half-Marathon


Its our Seremban Half-Marathon today. Well, its highly anticipated all among us.
Many monsters of the house joined the run as we felt that it will be wasted if we didn't go for our last year...

The race was said to be participated by more than 300 contestant today. MPS field was filled with tons of people even when its only 6.30 in the morning. Everyone's having a hard time looking for their partners and pals in the deep crowd..

The race started by 7.30am and most of them ran for their lives..(Oops, wrong expression).
Most people there wanted to get the Royal Selangor pewter medal and all they need to do is get qualified. But there were also some who joined the race just for爽.

As the race continues, you will find many bottles plastic bottles and paper cups all along the whole route. It's so horrible that everyone's so inconsiderate when there is a water booth for all contestants to stop by and have a drink. They served 100 plus and mineral water as usual. And what's typical of Malaysians are that we simply throw the cups all over the place after using it. I mean, do they even realize that there will be over 3000 over people who will be using the same road as they run? What about the other 3000 more user of the roads (including the vehicles and road users)? And there are only about 10 people who will be picking up after us. Why are people so inconsiderate? Some people might have the excuse that they don't want to waste time finding rubbish bins which will affect their ranking but... I don't know... What do you think??

Anyway, many people reached the check point on time and got a certificate as a souvenir. Some even get the medal as they were qualified to be one of the 1st 300th to arrive for the K category (female 13 years & above below 18) and I think 200th 1st to finish the race for the L category (Male 13 years & above below 19)
Anyone get any medals here?

There were also Lion dance and tons of sponsored booth for us to try their products. Anyone have specific booth that you like most???

It was a little tiring after the fun. I bet most of us thought the same way. Some even complaint having muscle cramp and pain thigh. lolz.. I think thats the fun of running 11 km within 1-2hrs...
