Since Padang Merbok is a good training ground for runners, I purposely registered for an event called Possible Run 2015 the morning after the MHWH Night Run 2015. Thought of bucking up my fitness with more mileage as preparation for the 'postponed' 2XU Compression Run 2015 in Singapore.
Race Kit Entry Collection
Collected my race pack on Saturday morning, a day before race day at Wisma OCM near to Stadium Merdeka. Inside the woven bag was a Mizuno running tee with BIB. No race chip included though.
Race Day
No hassle for me getting to the race venue since I was riding. Left my baggage at the baggage deposit tent where I met my colleague Hadi. Runner friend, Neves was there too. Flag off for the 10KM race was at 7.30am instead of 7.00am which I find a bit rare.

Since I was still 'warm' after MHWH the night before, I decided to push myself for a faster than usual for the first few KM. The first water station was located at KM5 after a few hilly challenges. No problem with traffic as traffic marshals, PDRM and volunteers were on duty along the race route.

Tried to tag along the aerobic instructor runner, Fizan at KM6 but only lasted for a KM.
I crossed the finishing line for the 10KM race at 1.06 hours. Received my finisher medal and a bottle of water by the volunteers. Collected my baggage and regroup with Hadi, Neves, Hafiz, Tay Adam, Norazlina and other runner friends for quick photo session.

There was a MILO tent! I went in queue for the a few cold ones, especially at a sport event. Other sponsors tent were seen in the area too.

Comments
The finisher medal design and quality was good. The running tee could be better. The colour selection and poor design totally killed the Mizuno brand. Not many photographers were seen at the event. Special thanks to Best of Running and Essy Choo for the effort in taking photographs at the event.
No photo wall seen in the area. Ended up taking some photos at the finisher arch with Hadi instead.
Left the area with Neves and friends for post race breakfast.
Summary: Basic but very well organised race event by organisor, sponsors and partners.
Event Recommendation: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Possible Run 2015 Completed!
