Larian Bendang

Date: 07 May 2011 | Saturday
Venue: Stadium Darulaman, Kedah
Distance: 3,5 and 6km
website: ysb.myakr.com

Form? I tried communicate with organizer but no reply. 2 years back, Larian Bendang not like 5~4years ago. Initially they were half marathon and 10km slowly the distance shorted to 10km. And last couple of years only 6km.

Usually any annual running event will gain more and more participation. But Larian Bendang... less runners join each year.

My 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010 report.

Report: World Hemphilia Day

By Aiman Cheah


Info on event day


Registration counter

I guess the event info is apt - it is a celebration with family and friends. Being a non-competitive event, it did not attract competitive walkers. Only about a kilometremetre walk around the area.

The highlight of the event was the appearance of Accapan, Yassin and Michael Jackson imposter. Generally the audience was greatly entertained by them.

There was also Tai Chi sessions. Novo Nordisk sponspored t-shirts for all Tai Chi participants.

My children took part in the colouring competitions. Akmal and Afiqah walked aways with third and first prize respectivey in their age groups.

I also get a box of fortune cookies for answering the MC's question. Not only that, I was lucky to get a blender as a lucky draw winner.

The event did not attract many people but I think, a charity event should be held in such a manner. Fund raising is the objective, not to look for walking talents. Every one going to the event was made a winner. All participants in 'Walk With Us' were given certificate of participation.


Thanking the sponsors

Report: Walkathon 2011 in aid of Nalanda Education Fund

By Aiman Cheah

Date: 10 April 2011 | Sunday | 7:30am
Venue: Nalanda Centre, Taman Sri Serdang
Category: A Men (Above 19 Years Old)
Distance:5km
Result: 28:09 Position:6

This event was held two weeks after the Bukit Kiara RDA Charity Walkathon. I was more fired up for this event. I trained harder.... managed to swim at least 2 000m in less than an hour and walked up to 8.4km twice a week.

Suresh had called me a week earlier informing me that he would not make it to the event due to work commitment. I thought at least I could eye for a podium finish.

The day before the event, Fazly called me to ask for directions to the place. There came the replacement for Suresh. Fazly is a good walker and is going to get better as he gets older. It has been more than 2 years since I last beat him in a race. Raiei also came. However, I thought I could have a chance against him as I was well prepared. He had not done better than me in 5 000m last year and the year before but had always turned the table on me comes Starwalk.

Thiru Kumaran also joined in the fray. Of course he was a class above the rest. I believed that he did not go all out but still managed an impressive time of 24 minutes. The chasing pack was equally impressive as they were not far behind him.

I pushed harder this time and I thought I did better than two weeks before but I found that others had improved much more. I was left slightly more than a minute in the Bukit Kiara race but it was close to 4 minutes in this race! I hope that they won't join the JDP race on 5th June or I would finish outside the top 10.

But it would be good to meet them again in Kordel Walkathon on 12 June. It will be a fat chance that I would be able to challenge them. To be able to finish the race a kilometre behind them in a 7km race would be an achievement. Ipoh Starwalk would be on 19th June but I don't think they will be around as it is held outside KL.


Assembling at the starting line.


The begining of the race.

Report: Bukit Kiara RDA 5.5km Charity Walkathon

By Aiman Cheah

Date: 27 March 2011 | Sunday | 8:00am
Venue: Sports Complex, Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort
Category: Men's Open (Above 12 Years Old)
Distance:5.5km
Result: 30:47 Position:4


Starting of Children & Ladies Open. Picture courtesy of Zuraidah.

This was a more relaxing event for me as the venue was just 15 minutes away from my place and it started at 8.00 a.m.

I was surprised that there were not many people for the event. Perhaps, many opt for other charity races like the one held by UPM and MMU Green Run.

Looking at the participants I thought I would have a chance to at least finish third. It would be a mission impossible to perform better than that with the presence of two Sureshes. He is certainly a class above the rest.. recent champion in the age 35 category of the Asian Masters Championship.

At the start I was struggling to keep pace with the rest. Starting on the second row, I was immediately 6th. Three were close on Suresh's heel. I was following a boy as both of us were kept apart of about 10 metres within a minute the race began. The gap was bigger as the race progress and I was left by the boy once it was going up hill.

I was really lucky because the boy slowed down when going down hill. That was where I took the advantage. We exchange lead until there was no more up hill and I managed to pull away from him. I was surprised to see Raja who was 4th then. He looked tired and I overtook him. I slowed down as the leaders were not within my sight... they could have completed the race!

Raja tried to overtake me with about 100m to go. I responded by going all out and managed to stay ahead of him. I was dead tired even before crossing the finishing line.

I got bowling tickets and an umbrella for finishing 4th... not bad in a charity event.

I have yet to get a podium finish in a charity event. It is always tougher than Masters' races, Starwalk or Malay Mail Walk.

I will not be surprised at all if I miss the top 5 in the coming Nalanda Walk for Charity. Two years ago, I managed to get a prize only after a disqualification of a participant.
