Shape Night Run 2015 Putrajaya - Participated in the 11.2 km

Last Saturday, 11 April 2015, I took part in the Shape Night Run 2015 in Putrajaya. I participated in the competitive 11.2 km run under the Junior Veteran category.

My wife took part in the fun 5 km run.

Unfortunately, the weather was pouring with rain, thunder and lightning.

All the competitors had to find shelter while waiting for the flag off. Unfortunately, the 8:00 pm flag off was postponed to wait for the weather to clear.

We actually had to wait for an additional 45 minutes before the organisers allowed to run to proceed. The new time was 8:45 pm.

All the runners heading to the starting point.

...waiting for the flag-off....here we go!!!

The was some drizzling and lightning show but the run went on uneventfully. I finished the line 1:46 hours using my own timing (still waiting to get my official timing from the organisers).

As usual, after the race we received our freebies as well as a medal.

Happy to complete the event still standing up....

People were still streaming in .....

I used the RUNTASTIC program to track my progress.

Cyberjaya – Putrajaya Perdana Twincity Marathon 2014

On December 21, 2014, we registered for the Cyberjaya – Putrajaya Perdana Twincity Marathon 2014 as a family for the first time. Everyone got a number and all rearing to go. The very early morning start didn't diminished the level of enthusiasm in the kids. 

We got there early and decided to visit some of the booth opened at that time.

We registered for the 5km fun run. The though of going through a full or even a quarter marathon was too much for the kids to start with.

If they can take this 5km run, we may up it to a 10km the next time.












Was there with a few of our friends as well.



The run is about the start and we are off the the starting point.

The kids are all excited for the run to begin.

Away we go!! and after less than an hour we are back and queuing up to get our participation medal.

After the run we went to have breakfast.
