I really want to join any official running events in Malaysia but seems like it is quite hard to find good venue and time. There are at least two websites I would love to share here if you are interested to know any events around you.
I can say there are lots of events organized around Malaysia EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND but mostly are around KL, Selangor, Putrajaya etc. Since I frequently travel to the capital city on weekends for some medical courses, I just don't feel like travelling for this running purpose.
Meanwhile around Perak, hmmm just a few running events here and there but mostly I am not available for them.
Soooo. I will share with you an alternative!
Virtual Run!

Hahaha it is not that you can run virtually in your dream or whatever. It is still official but can be done anywhere, anytime you like.
I will copy and paste here more details about this specific running event coming very soon this November.

Just rough explanation about the challenge:
- You can choose any category you want to join - either 20km, 50km, 100km or 200km.
- No cut off time needed - means you can run at any pace you are comfortable with.
- It can be done in one / many run.
- For example, if you registered for 20km - you can run 20km at once or divide the distance into few days. Maybe 2 km per day so by day 10th, you will finish the challenge of 20km. Same goes to other categories.
- Just use any running app (on your phone) like Nike+, Samsung Health, Running Keeper.
- Pedometers are not allowed!
- Then, every time you run, upload your progress at your dashboard.
- The fee of RM 29.90 is for the finishers' medals (including delivery within Malaysia.
Well, this is actually my first attempt.
50km in 21 days!
FIGHTING NINAAAA.
Wish me luck! And if any of you would like to join me, feel free to let me know. I would love to know some new running buddies even though we can't motivate and cheer each other up offline. Well, via Whatsapp is okay what...
