Larian Patriotik 2010

3Oth August, 2010

I was clueless about  the route from the beginning and it seems  no one knows about it at all  :(

After the run, as I can recall, this was the 5km route...

Start from Stadium Kota Raja to the main road and turn left towards Istana Klang. After the Istana, turn left again and pass by Sekolah Menengah Sri Lethil (* this stretch is quite dark, quiet and lonely*) (Any invisible friends? I hope not! Not during the hungry ghost festival, not over yet anyway, still another week to go.) 

Run towards Jln Kg Jawa and exit the masjid, turn left and run behind Stadium Kota Raja until  to the traffic light. Turn left again and run towards Klang Magistrate. At the traffic light, turn right towards Klang KTM station and pass by Klang Post Office and OCBC bank. Once reach the KTM junction, turn left and run towards Klang Police Station (HQ) and Bomba station.

(*Water station beneath the bridge in front of police station.) From bomba station, turn right and run along Little India towards roundabout and pass by Klang library and convent school. Once reach the roundabout, turn left and run towards Istana again until to Menara A&M (AIA), turn right and  run all the way to the finish line inside the Stadium Kota Raja. That was it! Many left turning and a good way to know Klang by Bus No. 11 (by foot, I mean!). Happy Merdeka!!

My home town is in Cheras, KL but having stayed in Klang for 12 years now, I kinda love it here now than I did back then when I 1st moved here. One simple reason is the above 5km route, we can find the amenities  within that radius and it is convenient, and close by. Save time and petrol  as well . No worries about traffic jam either, many side roads, short cuts  and back lanes behind shops and houses we can exit in and out to avoid traffic. Herman knows best in this department ha ha!!

June, Me with Azza

Got my medal in 13th position. Reminds me of anakmami's birthday!! How cool is that!? Maybe next time I'll get a medal with my birthday on it, with a bit of  luck.

Herman in 46th position. He did the 7km route. By the way, where were all the fast and furious runners? My guess is they were taking advantage of the long weekend break and going on holiday somewhere, somewhere.
