The Energizer Night Race 2011 - Saturday, 16th Apr 2011

I have made a decision to go for the 2011 Energizer Night Race few months ago. I utterly surprised when my wife told me that the registration for the race has closed and another friend of ours could not get a place. Apparently the race have received very good response and all allocated places for runners have been taken up for all categories, 5.5 km, 11 km, 21 km and 42 km. Get the link to the web site here.

Well, looks like there are some other unexpected benefits for signing up early other than getting that 10% off.

The race starts at 7.45 pm, but I wonder why is the event organizer is asking us to "register" at 5.00 pm. I wonder what am I expected to do between that 2 hours and 45 minutes at the SIC (Sepang International Circuit). Yes! The race IS going to take place at one of the most renowned land mark of Malaysia, the Malaysian F1 circuit. I might not drive a car fast enough to drive on this track, but at least I can run on it. The other running events that I have participated did not need to register as we already have the timing chip. We just be there, and start at the starting line by stepping on the timing platform.

The runner's goody bag which I collected from the event organizer contains the singlet, timing chip and also the running bib looks like the below.




Now its only waiting for the event to start on Saturday.
