Comments :

Registration and taking bibs - well organised

On the day of the race - Its kelang kabut.. - sure madness, u go in the 'kandang' a token is given but u can 'cabut' from the othe end and jalan for 2km and wait for the rest 'cos at the starting point no one jaga. Imagine thousand of runners in the 'kandang' but there's no official jaga.
The Penang organiser shd follow the FTAAA way of doing the starting ie put barricades at the starting point.

the 42km route, the marathoners should run the bridge 1st then turn to Bayan lepas just like last yr.. but this its reverse and the poor runners by the time they reach the 20km, they are join with thousands of the 25km runners imagine.

At 21km, the organiser were distributing the powergel instead of giving to 42km runners, they give the the half marathoner who just started 20mins. Met Ngae and he said 'the school kids doesn't understand English' as there signboard 'slow runners keep left'.
Water checkpoint was a biggest let down, imagine i have to run till the end of bridge at Prai to get a gulp.

Rating between 1 - 5 . It 2 for me.. below average.

Pixs to be posted soon.
