AdventuRUN 2007

It was a great morning to gather at the starting point of the run. Many of us have not been to Taman Pertanian in Shah Alam for a long long time. It was also a nice change to escape from the haze in the city and breathed in fresh air, surrounded by greenery. The turnouts were encouraging. As KC mentioned before, “For runners, any charitable effort is not complete without the run” is very true as one fellow runner spent almost one hour searching for the location.

Greenery everywhere ... are these runners after the run?

The running route was tough and challenging with many slopes, some with gradual ascent while some were steeper slopes. It was a real test of strength and fitness, many times worst than the “double hill” route that many avid runners were accustomed to. Any descend slopes is a welcoming sight for the runners before the next uphill. After much huffing and puffing, the finishing point was a welcoming sight for all the runners.

Overall, it was a commendable effort by Organising Committee consists of Taylor College’s students in organizing the charity run. Along the route, there were race officials stationed at every junction to ensure that runners kept to the correct route and one water station was provided at the halfway point. And apt to the purpose of having the charity run, participants were treated to a talk on the awareness of AIDs after the run.

Note by KC: Looks like we have an alternative site for training runs other than the usual “Double-hill” at Bukit Tungku, Kuala Lumpur. According to Weng who ran in the AdventuRUN, the starting area was going uphill – hill after hill – and that was really challenging.
