More than 16,500 people took part in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon held Sunday which took the runners on a route from Dataran Merdeka past some of the city’s historical landmarks which has high tourism value.
The event not only attracted marathon enthusiasts but also the entire families who took part for fun. Unfortunately foreigners except local expats were not seen taking part. More should be done to attract their participation.
Winners were Shaharudin Hashim, Tan Bee Kiang and Goitetom Haftu Tesema. Nelson Kirwa Rotich in that order and scooped the top prize of RM350,000.
Organiser Golazo Sdn Bhd race director Wes Sakai should be congratulated for a very well organised event and it is hoped that this event be organised on an international level next year just like several years ago during the chairmanship of Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad who was then the Federal Territory Minister.
NO LIES... JUST THE FACTS!
