TPRC - Running enthusiasts to host Merdeka potluck on Saturday

TPRC - Terrence Poon Running Club. It's was suggested by someone when we were joking around during our LSD long long time ago... Suddenly, someone inside the group took the initiative and created a Facebook Group called "TPRC Weekend LSD" 2 months ago. They ( i put they as i have not into running and hardly go running since HK100) were so actives in the FB group discussing about running.

Glad our potluck session being mentions in national newspaper The Star! Happy Merdeka!

KUALA LUMPUR: People can join a Merdeka potluck gathering at 8.30am Saturday at the Bukit Aman car park.

The catch is, you have to run there to be invited.

Members of the Terence Poon Running Club (TPRC), who holds the gathering annually, are welcoming running enthusiasts to join them on their 6am morning run culminating in a breakfast gathering to celebrate Merdeka.

“We are a club that promotes multi-culturalism and unity. Anyone interested to join us for runs and subsequent gatherings are welcomed,” said TPRC member Wilfred Yeo.

He said their 16km route starts from the Bukit Aman carpark to Solaris Dutamas, Mont Kiara then back to Bukit Aman.

“We have weekly long slow distance runs on Saturdays and Sundays, where we travel long distances at a leisurely pace,” said Yeo, who was with his clubmates at Dataran Merdeka on Friday for the Merdeka celebrations.

Yeo said the team decided to make a detour while they were out on a run to check out the mood at the processions.

“It is nice to see many Malaysians out in droves to celebrate out nation's independence,” said Yeo.

Happy 55th anniversary Merdeka day!

KUALA LUMPUR: One hundred and seventy runners from all walks of life participated in the inaugural Cari Runners Merdeka Day Fun Run at Padang Merbok on Tuesday.

The Fun Run, held on the famed Padang Merbok route, offered runners the choice of running five or 10-kilometre distances.

Race Director Eugene Chan said the number of participants was slightly lower than expected due to the race being organised during the fasting month.

But he was nevertheless happy with the turnout.
"This is the first time we have organised such a race and thankfully everything went smoothly," said Eugene.

"The run was intended to give the opportunity to Cari Runners to come together and celebrate Merdeka Day while having a good workout at the same time," he added.

"If there is demand for the race and we can secure a sponsor, there should be a second edition next year."

The Cari runners are an Internet forum-based social running club intent on promoting running.

"We usually practise together during the weekends at Bukit Aman and try to help each other improve our running," said Eugene.

The Cari Runners will be organising another fun run on Dec 26, called the Cari Runners Couples Fun Run.

"The Couples Fun Run has a couple theme where runners and their partners will get matching T-shirts and also medals," said Eugene.

Runners interested in participating in the event can visit the website carirunners.blogspot.com for more information.
