My take on the Event
General Race Comments:
Race was smooth from start. The route was the same as last year, a very speedy-runable and with a couple hill climb ups and downs. The events is good overall
Event info pre-race/ pre-registration:
Most information’s are ready when BHP start promoting the event pre-reg. Runners need to download the entry form from BHP Official site and return it back at certain date for REPC
How was the registration & REPC process:
No Online. Registration is easy except you should do manual submition at listed BHP Petrol station at certain date to get the official bip.
Specific mandatory pre-registration/prerequisite comments:
No pre-requisite so no mandatory gear check
Race site / accommodation facilities:
Race site - Spacious space for Start/ Finish. Big S/F arch area and lively emcee. The area was full of public facilities such as toilets, surau, parking spaces etc
Flag-off process:
Flagoff sharp at 700am for mens all category then 15mins later womens catery was flaged off.
A bit chaotic as there were women runners start with mens. But it was well handled as at 2nd corner after 200-300m there were marshalls pulling womens who start early to side ways waiting for women packs official start. Overall the Flag off was OK.
Was the course well-marked, marshaled, and accurate:
The course were very well marked
There were marshals/ crews at most junction and theres some distance marker. The crew gave the runners a diff colour band at 2 checkpoints for proof passing the CPs. Everythings OK
Waterstation/ aid-station
There are 3 waterstation. Plain water and sports drinks were served and all is ok
Course-Specific Comments:
Runable tarmac all the way with some nice elevation climb and descent. The same race course as last year.
But theres safety issue needed to be highlighted. We ran at main road and its very busy with vehc. The conned to to be properly arranged and crews need to be bold enough to stop the traffic. I could see some of the cars just doesnt care and drive through runners between gap even there were crew/ marshall. But not at Junction which was placed a official police traffic
Please rate the finish line area and process:
Great atmosphere, emcee and all, and great crews. Finisher goodies were straight fully given to finisher crossing the finish arch
How were the post-race refreshments:
I personally very satissified with post events refreshments and all. MILO, Ice-cream, Nasi Lemak with Hot teh Tarik, some meehon and fried mee. Bananas and morning flakes. And 1 big goodies bag worth of RM 50/+-
Magnum Ice Cream!
Rate the event/ finisher merchandise:
All is wonderfully good for an RM5 entry
Theres your goodies bag. Fully packed!
