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.

Kota Kemuning Shoestring Run 2010

It was indeed a beautiful weather for a fun family outing on Sunday, 18 April 2009. It rained cats and dogs earlier in the morning and though the ground was still wet, the cooling cloudy weather was a big welcome.

This year, Kota Kemuning Pacers were invited to volunteer our assistance as crew members at the Kota Kemuning Shoestring Run. To the organisers, thank you for allowing us to lend a hand and to gain some insights into organising such an event.

Many families turned out in full force to either participate in the 3km and 7km run and some came to lend their support. This year had a longer route for the participants above 13 years while for those below ran a shorter route of 3km. We can certainly pick out many budding runners in the making amongst the youngsters and some diapered toddlers who completed the run.

Apart from participating in the run, there were also food like cakes, buns, fried nuggets, nasi lemak and mee goreng being offered. Young children were seen lining for their designer balloons from the clown of the day. The event finally ended with a luckydraw and there were none who left without a big smile on their faces. Catch the event here.

SEE YOU ALL AGAIN AT THE SHOESTRING RUN 2011!
