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!

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!

A Fun & Run At Felda Residence Hot Springs

This trip has been postponed due to unforseen circumstances. Our apologies.

Kota Kemuning Pacers intends to organised a FAMILY OUTING to FELDA Residence Hot Springs in Sungkai, Perak. Sungkai is a small town in Perak, Malaysia. This small town is located between Bidor and Trolak, just after Slim River. It is accessible via the North-South Expressway's Sungkai Interchange (Exit 128).

The FELDA Residence Hot Springs is strategically located within easy access from the old trunk road, only 16.5km or 20 minutes away from the Toll Exit. On the North-South Expressway, get off at the Sungkai Toll Exit and turn left at the junction. Just 1km down the trunk road, turn left and follow the signs. The park is just after the Sungai Klah FELDA village.

The FAMILY OUTING will be planned for the Hari Raya Puasa weekend break from 19-21 September 2009. It will be a 3 days 2 nights (3D2N) stay at the resort. While it is planned for a fun family escapade with loads of activities at the resort, the highlight of the outing will be a GROUP MORNING RUN along the kampung roads and trails amidst fresh air and the greens of oil palm and fruit trees.

Kota Kemunings Pacers would like to urgently gather favourable response from our members and anyone from our community who are interested to join us on this outing.
