Report: NTCRC Run 2014

Date: 27 April 2014 | Sunday | 7:00am
Venue: Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan, Pulau Pinang.
Distance: 9.2 km | 43.03

Nibong Tebal (NT), dekat dengan kampung - Sungai Bakap. Sungai Baong sebenarnya. Berhampiran dengan sempadan negeri Kedah. Ambik peluang ziarah ayah+mak. Bagitau adik-beradik.. tup2 semua 4 beradik kami balik berhimpun sambil makan bersama ayah+mak yang berusia 83tahun.

Malam tu meriah sembang sebab ada isu Ayah dengan Dato Mohkzani Ismail. Mungkin jarang orang dengar nama Mokhzani Ismail. Beliau adalah pemimpin orkestra RTM dimasa kini. Akan saya cerita pada catatan yang lain.

NTCRC Run 2014

6 Pagi. Lepas subuh, aku memandu sendirian ke NT. Cuma 20minit aja. Sempat aku warm-up seketika dan bersapa kawan2 selarian sebelum pelepasan pada 7pagi.

NTCRC Run 2014

Laluan larian sama macam acara yang lalu cuma terbalik. Dulu mula berlari ke pekan NT, kali ni mula menghala penghujung Jalan Sungai Daun. Melalui SRJK Pai Teik (antara seteru pasukan bola sepak ketika di sekolah rendah di kampung). Kemudian melalui Jalan Victoria. Laluan mendatar, hening, dikelilingi dengan ladang kelapa sawit. Cukop syiok dan ralit berlari.

NTCRC Run 2014

Masuki Jalan Atas, sekeliling adalah rumah kampung. Dibina berhampiran jalan. Sesekali ada jugak  penduduk tempatan memberi sokong - bertepuk tangan + menjerit.. bagi perangat semangat para peserta sambil meneruskan rutin harian mereka.

Disini ada jeti yang menawarkan para pengunjung untuk menikmati pemandangan kehidupan kelip-kelip di waktu malam. Jika masuki Jalan Atas dari pekan NT, pasti terjumpa papan tanda di sebelah kiri - arah Sungai Krian.

Melepasi jeti kelip-kelip, peserta berlari dalam pekan NT. Trafik dijaga dengan baik oleh pihak penganjur. Sebelum membelok simpang akhir memasuki Jalan Sungai Daun / garisan penamat... Kali ni para peserta dihangatkan dengan pasukan kompang dan gendang seperti tarian Naga - Cukup membantu membakar sisa-sisa kederat bila mana terlihat banner penamat yang terletak hampir 1km lagi...

NTCRC Run kali ni disertai melebihi 2000 orang peserta. Selain menawarkan hadiah wang tunai pada peserta utama, pihak penganjur juga memberi penghargaan pada peserta tertua bagi pihak lelaki dan wanita.

Sarapan yang disediakan oleh penganjur.. cukop banyak. Ada nasi lemak, bihun, telor rebus, minuman sejuk dan panas, roti, soya, van vico, ais krim, mineral. Kalau amik satu persatu.. rasanya sengkak perut ni. Cuma cadangan.. mungkin nasi lemak atau bihun dihidang dalam periuk.. sesapa nak makan ambil pingan plastik dan cedok. Jika tidak.. berlaku pengambilan yang tak terkawal. Manakala kawan kita dibelakang.. tak sempat merasa.

Kita yang tamat awal ni... ambik la.. takat mana nak makan. Jangan membazir.

Akhir sekali.. NTCRC Run cukop menarik untuk disertai. Menawarkan yuran penyertaan yang murah tanpa menepikan keperluan asas para pelari. Disamping itu peserta diberi vest lari yang menarik, cantik untuk dipakai, pingat penamat untuk semua peserta, hadiah cabutan bertuah dan penghargaan pada warga emas dan penaja.

Terima kasih pada En.Khoo Bak Kiang, setiausaha NTCRC atas kebenaran merakam senarai keputusan rasmi larian.

Venue: Lang Suan, Chumphon, Thailand
Distance: 3.5km and 14km
Website: www.patrunning.info



Don't ask me what category or prize offered in written form. In side kepala now... "How do I get there?" "Are we there yet?" question is spinning. I had enough info about this event. Read alot about Chumphon+LangSuan+transport 2 months before the form published.

It's on first or second day of Ramadhan. Maybe I could break fasting with local foods or together with local muslim in mosque.. How is Ramadhan in Surathani?..

Anyway.. In June, it low tide season. Visitors could walk or running to Koh Phitak. Water level is around 30cm.

Heritage Walk 2014

Date: 22 June 2014 | Sunday
Venue: ?, Georgetown
Distance: 6.5km
Contact: 04-8275678 or 04-3330999

Heritage walk to raise funds for Red Crescent

HERITAGE enthusiasts can take part in the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) Heritage Walk 2014 on June 22. The walk, jointly organised by the MRC Penang branch and Kwong Wah Yit Poh, will be held for the sixth year.

Event organising chairman Loh Nam Hooi said the walk this year would incorporate an additional 1.5km to the route.

“Heritage lovers can enjoy a 6.5km walk in George Town.

“The places they will pass by include the Yeap Kongsi, Poh Hock Seah Temple, Dr Sun Yat Sen Penang Base, Penang Islamic Museum, St George’s Church, Kuan Im Teng (Goddess of Mercy Temple), Sri Mahamariamman Temple and Masjid Kapitan Keling.

“We expect to raise more than RM150,000 for the MRC Penang branch to fund various humanitarian projects,” Loh said. He added that the walk was to mark the sixth anniversary of George Town being declared a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Loh said one of their humanitarian projects provided community-based ambulance service in three areas — Permatang Tinggi, Jalan Raja Uda and Batu Maung.

“We also need funds to train our members in first aid and rescue skills, disaster relief and management,” he added.

Registration forms for the walk are available at the MRC Penang branch at 26, Grove Road, and at the MRC north Seberang Prai Ambulance Service Office in Jalan Raja Uda, Butterworth. Registration fee is RM30 per person.

Each participant will receive a Heritage Walk T-shirt which has to be worn during the walk in order for the participant to qualify for a lucky draw.

The forms should be submitted by June 20.

Well-wishers are also welcome to donate to the event and those who give a minimum of RM300 will be entitled to take part in a ribbon- cutting ceremony.

For details, call MRC Penang at 04-8275678 or MRC north Seberang Prai at 04-3330999.

We stay in Bangunan Terapung, Dataran Tasik Raban. Free to use all equipment provided by host for 3D2N. We row kayak, hours use of boat for fishing+visiting rural kampung, cycling around kampung Raban and 5 meals each days served by local caterer.

After subuh. With Cikgu on bike, we start from Dataran Tasik Raban to Kg. Kuala Chegar. Got number of stalls selling ikan pekasam. It is school day in Perak. Kids were waiting for bus and some of them sayur us with motocycle. Passing kampung Belukar Kunyit, Lata Papan and Kg. Kuak.

Passing local stalls selling kuih-muih and kedai kopi.

After Kg.Kuak.. ran thru small jungle and climbing the highest peak of route. Cikgu left behind. She start tuntun gerek. Could do short-cut but ended in 9km - tak best. Continue and passing kampung until T junction heading to main road - Grik.

Main road. Fast cars. Ran following traffic. Hoping the drivers celik2 belaka. Because I can't cross to other side of the road. Took photos at Jambatan Raja Muda Nazrin and ran back to Bangunan Terapong @Dataran Tasik Raban.
