Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2010

There was a very huge crowd at the event with an estimated participation of over 60000 people and it was certainly a hot hot run at the Singapore International Marathon recently.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR RUNNERS!!!

Seremban Half-Marathon 2010

It was certainly an enjoyable trip down to Seremban for the half-marathon last Sunday. While some KK Pacers had only departed at 4.30am on race day itself, some other KK Pacers had already enjoyed a night stay in Port Dickson at the Marina Bay Condominium, courtesy of our members, Mr & Mrs Chew Thong Hin. A huge thanks to them for their warm hospitality.

It also turned out to be surprised run for Cheou Wan Kwai who only knew he was running the half-marathon at the eleventh hour. He had actually planned to attempt his first half-marathon at the Penang Bridge International Marathon in November 2010 but since KK Pacers had mistakenly registered him in this run, he bravely proceeded with an astounding time of 1hr 49mins. Besides, this would definitely go down as a memorable first half-marathon since it is attempted right in his hometown of Seremban. CONGRATULATIONS CHEOU!!! Looks like the half-marathon at PBIM will be a breeze now.

It was also a good run for two of our young runners, Nick and Keith who finished their half-marathon at a personal best of 2hrs 05mins and 2hrs 18mins respectively. Tawfiq who was attempting his second half-marathon, managed an improved timing of 2hrs 24mins. Our Sunshine Lady, Cheryl was so delighted to regain her personal best of 1hr 05mins for the10km despite missing the flag-off by 3mins while hubby, Capt Steven zoomed in at 1hr 45mins for the 21km … just a slight 6mins short of his personal best. Doris completed her 10km at 1hr 10mins with a slight miss of 3mins from her personal best too.

Alt. Capt Ray was lucky to receive a lucky draw coupon with his certificate and medal. However, he only managed to draw a pack of 4 Guinness Malta ... which we have absent-mindedly left in the freezer at the Marina Bay Condominium.

After the run, the KK Pacers convoy proceeded to the Seremban wet market (a glutton square too) for the famous Seremban Hakka Mee, Beef Noodle and Cuttlefish Noodle. Subsequently, everyone left Seremban with at least a pack of the famous Seremban Siew Pow.

SCKLIM 2010 ~ So Many Firsts!

This year there were many firsts for KK Pacers at the marathon of the year, Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur International Marathon 2010.


Cheryl, Keith, Nick, Sean and Vivien participated in the SCKLIM Half-Marathon for the first time while Doris, Jen, Steven and Tawfiq attempted their very first half-marathon. Congratulations to Doris, Jen, Steven and Tawfiq who completed their first 21km in 3hrs 3mins, 2hrs 35mins, 2hrs 38mins and 2hrs 35mins respectively. Just as this lady marathoner said "I CAN DO IT!" and so have you all!! Bravo!!!


Eddie, Joanne, May, Nor Azizan and Sandy also participated for the first time at the marathon of year and finished their respective 10km run in 1hr, 1hr 18mins, 1hr 15mins, 1hr 15mins and 1 hr 26mins. Well done, well done!



Although a number of our KK Pacers had signed up for the full marathon, only a few managed to make it to the event yesterday due to work and personal commitments. There was yet another first as Emily finished her very first full marathon in 6 hours 45mins. What a determined spirit despite that bad stomach and a 15mins' pit-stop at the loo!


Chantelle who rushed back all the way from Singapore just to finished her 5th full marathon completed in 4 hours 17 mins, paced by our Captain Steven. She had aimed to repeat her achievement of sub-4hour in the Gold Coast but nonetheless, it was still a great achievement. Try again Girl! You've done it before and you'll definitely be able to do it again!


To our Captain Steven who is so passionate in helping our members, you had sacrificed your own goal to achieve a personal best of sub-4hr as to honour a promise is so much more important. Thank you!



To all the other participants at the marathon, it's truly a fantastic accomplishment when you finished your respective races. Just as one of the placards said "PAIN IS TEMPORARY!"

To the organisers and all concern, it was an event well planned and coordinated although the race kit collections could do with a little bit more improvement. All in all, it was a successful event. Well done and we look forward to another great run next year!

Larian Bersama BOMBA 2010

There were new friends who joined us for this run last Sunday morning at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. It was quite a laid-back event which was only flagged off at 7.30am.

Newcomers Joanne, Emily, Nor Azizan and KC Goh successfully completed their run along with our regulars, Captain Steven, Cheryl 'The Sunshine Lady', Mike, Nick, Agnes, Chong, Steven (Oon) and Doris. Joanne, an Australian English teacher based here in Putrajaya, even managed to grab a medal for her inaugural run that morning. It was a most fortunate surprise as she almost did not get to participate when the organisers had insisted for her work permit during registration. All's well that ends well.

CONGRATULATIONS to our Captain Steven, Agnes, Joanne and Emily on their successful positionings within the 100 limited medals put up for grabs in their respective categories.

The photos for the run are now ready for viewing. Enjoy them at our photo album here.

Energizer Night Race 2010

Complaint … complaint … complaint!!!

I think that’s what’s on everyone’s mind from the day they picked up their race kits to the starting line last Saturday. Why not?

1. The running vest was not available according to size! It’s either too big or too small. For some, it’s no more a running vest … it has turned into a 'nightie' for a guy!

2. There was a “Marathoner Roasts” in Cyberjaya at 6.00pm. Starting the race while the sun was blazing hot!

3. Waiting, waiting, waiting … 2 hours between the 42km and 21km and an hour’s wait between the 21km and 10km.

4. Not enough route markers … some runners even ended running extra kilometers!

5. There was just not enough sponging for the runners who started later, especially the half-marathoners!

6. There were dark unattended spots along the running routes … definitely danger in waiting, especially for the women runners. Luckily, nothing untoward had happened!

7. Looks like the full-marathoners had been short-changed! The actual distance was only 40.78km (according to Der Pacemakers Network). With so much publicity put in, the organizers should have ensured that the distance was according to international standard.

8. The location of the finish line was definitely not strategic. It seemed to be the only entry and exit to the race venue. Ambulances, sponsor vehicles, private cars, motorbikes were going in and out all the time. Picture KK Pacers’ Captain, Steven being tailed by 2 Fly-fm cars for almost a kilometers towards the finish line. Imagine some of the runners running straight into these vehicles driving out from the finish line … how dangerous!

9. There were no barricades at the finish line to block out the spectators and the runners who had finished their respective races. Apart from those vehicles, the runners running to the finish had to contend with people taking souvenior shots at the finish line, selfishly oblivious to runners trying to finish their race at the cramped finish line.

10. Goodies bag and medal collection counters were so far away from the finish line … >500 metres!

Despite the complaints, it was a great night for KK Pacers, especially our captains, Steven and Raymond. Steven finished his 42km race at the 7th position within 4 hours 06 minutes while Raymond with an improved personal best at the 28th position within 4 hours 32 minutes. Our lady star, Vivienne finished her very first full-marathon at the 13th position within 5 hours 35 mins. Nik Anba also completed his very first full-marathon at the 73rd position within 5 hours 20 mins.

Our Sunshine Lady, Cheryl also managed to complete her 21km race within improved timing while 2 young runners, Sean and Keith did good respectively on their first try in this category. Two other first timers at the 10km category, Eddy and Sandy also made it to the finish line within good timings while Cheou and Nicholas improved their own timing in the same category.

To all the other KK Pacers; “CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ALL DID GREAT!!!"

New Balance Pacesetters 30Km 2010

Hey folks! The photos for the New Balance Pacesetters 30km run is out.

Our superheroine, Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl attempted her first 30km successfully. Look at her pics, no sweat! Not far behind were our two hot sexy mamas, Vivienne and Cheryl who ran the 20km run with improved timings since their first try of the 21km at the Penang Bridge International Marathon. Looks like Lady Power rising at Kota Kemuning Pacers Club!

Agnes surprised us this time round by participating in the 10km run only at the last minute, accompanied by her friend, Steven (not Captain Steven) and Vivienne's son, Sean. Sadly no photos for the 10km finishers as they ended at a different corner.

It was an unusual day though at the guys' camp when our captain and alternate captain, Steven and Ray were nowhere to be seen at the finish line. They had become 'phanthom-runners' at the 30km run as they had not sign up. Instead they ran the distance in support of our members who had participated as well as part of their training for the upcoming Putrajaya Night Marathon.

For our other male members, you guys as usual are the powers to be ... Bernard, Edmund, Fun, Nick and Riq ... no sweat to complete the 30km judging from the happy faces at the finish line. Even Bernard's Uncle came in with big smile.

Congratulations to all for a great run and well-improved finish. Check out our photo album over at this link.

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009

The annual Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 completed successfully on 6 December 2009 where 2 members from Kota Kemuning Pacers made their first attempt triumphantly.


Edmund ... The Running Rooster, who started his running hobby in February 2008 had only recently on 28 June 2009 completed the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon well within his target of 4:30 hours. Although he had not met his targeted completion in 4:15 hours for this marathon, his feat that finished at 4:22:22 hours is indeed as glorious. Well done and CONGRATULATIONS Edmund! We certainly share your aspiration to complete the next year's Singapore Marathon at sub-4 hours.



For CG Lim, the Singapore Marathon was his maiden try in a full marathon. Having only started his running hobby in October 2008, Lim's running abilities has certainly developed from strength to strength and culminated in his completion of the 42.195km race in 4:55:55 hours. Only a week upon his return from the race, Lim is already in training for the coming Putrajaya Night Marathon in February 2010. CONGRATULATIONS! You've definitely caught the running bug!



To our 2 members and certainly to all who had crossed the finish line at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009, you can now proudly say, "I am a finisher!"

Larian Rakyat: Another Star Is Born!

Larian Rakyat was held this morning at I-City, Section 7, Shah Alam in conjunction with the 64th birthday of DYMM Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

An estimated 1,500 people signed up for the run consisting the 7km, 10km and family-run categories. Proceeds from the run will be donated to the "Tabung Bantuan Bencana Alam" and other charitable organisations.

In today's Larian Rakyat, another star was born! Sandy who decided to participate in the 7km run at the last minute, bagged her very first medal today. She also brought her "lucky star" with her as she won a present at the Lucky Draw. CONGRATULATIONS SANDY! May this be a stepping stone to more medals in the near future.

Another feat was achieved by our super-heroine, "Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl" who completed the women 10km category in the 5th position. This time she bagged a cash prize of RM100.00 too. Hey Girl, you rock! Run on!

Also not forgetting our Captain's 'ling' ... Cheryl! She too finished well at the 10th position in her category for the 7km run and 'ran away' with one of the limited medals on offer. CONGRATS Cheryl!

Catch all the actions on this link and see if you can find yourself running towards the finish line. CHEERS!

Salomon X-Trail Run 2009

For the past week, it certainly looks like it is going to be a muddy affair at the Salomon X-Trail Run in Taman Lembah Kiara. Fortunately, came 6 December 2009, we were blessed with a beautiful morning, albeit some slight drizzle by mid-morning. I guess for some it certainly made the trail run all the more exciting. Well, rain or shine, some of our members had come prepared with their "Adidas Kampong".

The inaugural Salomon X-Trail Run 2009 took off almost 20 minutes late, with close to 800 participants taking part in the 10km and 4km runs. The marshalls did not seem to be well briefed as they were even unsure in which direction the run will start. Some participants came back frustrated when they were pointed in the wrong direction inside the trail. One angry participant complained that he was directed onto the same path twice, losing his time and energy. Even the top 3 runners were not spared as they cross the finish line in the wrong direction, catching everyone by surprise!

Even before the race day, most participants had already felt they were short-changed when they collected their T'shirts. They were not issued according to the requested sizes. The smallest was 'M' and being of larger cut, the T'shirts would definitely be oversized, especially for most women participants.

All participants who completed the run will be entitled to the Salomon pouch. With an entrance fee of RM60.00, one would expect to take home a good condition pouch. When one of our member requested for a replacement for his defective pouch, the counter-staff tried to do a on-the-spot repair work! Cheap ... really cheap.

Anyway, amid all the frustrations and grouses, well done to all our members and everyone who completed the run, irrespective they were on the right route, delayed or lost. Let's hope the organisers will be more organised and coordinated next year.



Our photo album is now ready for viewing in Part 1 & Part 2. Click and see if you can find yourself crossing the finish line. Cheerio!!!
