Another Race Bites The Dust - BSNPNM
The prolonged haze situation sure wrecks havoc in our daily life.
And for runners, it meant being unable to run outdoors and plenty of races being postponed or canceled.
Last night, hubby and I dropped by to the starting line of BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon (BSNPNM) after our evening walk.
The view of Jambatan Seri Saujana (Seri Saujana Bridge); the bridge that was featured in previous BSNPNM's logo, taken at 7.40pm.
Although the race was canceled due to haze, the organiser still went ahead putting up tents and arches at the event venue. Runners were able to collect their race entitlements up to 10.00pm last night.
For runners who came on race night, they were still allowed to run the 5K/10K route if they wanted to do it, with plenty of volunteers, medic staff and even water station made available for them.
A race wouldn't be successful without the people helping behind them - the volunteers; the traffic marshall, the cameramen, at the water stations, distributing goodies and medals, etc. The sponsors' booth were open for runners to check (and buy) their merchandises.
Do not to forget the Abang-abang Milo too! Hahaha
For those who lingered at the start/finish line; we were treated with performances - Bhangra dance no less!
Haze has bring inconvenient to our life...
ReplyDeleteIt sure does.
DeleteAnd cause health issues which is very worrying.
Haze disrupts our life in many ways.
ReplyDeleteYup.
Deleteoh it was cancelled due to the haze.. but it did look like a real even happening.. I guess happy jugak la meeting up with fellow runner friends though not running.. :)
ReplyDeleteYalor... Meet friends also can be fun. No need to suffer some more. Hihi
DeleteMak Glam only thank the abang-abang Milo but not the Cik Fitnesse?? haha..
ReplyDeleteMy friends love abam milo more. LOL
DeleteYes , the haze really sucks! Because of it, my training plan for my standchart HM was affected. I am thinking of whether to participate or not if I am not fit for it.... but I will likely go for it. Worse come to worst, just walk. But that was not my purpose as I wanted to improve my timing from the previous HM.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your HM training.
DeleteDon't sweat it too much. You still have a month to train. :)
sure it is a bummer for the race to be cancelled. For those avid runner already trained so hard then cancelled ...adui....really sakit hati lo
ReplyDeleteBut then, we are positive people. We just find another race to look forward to. Hahaha
DeleteWow, stunning shot of the bridge, Lina! xoxo
