Running: Ride and Run With The Stars 2015 (Putrajaya)


The week after a hot burning runcation at 2XU Compression Run Jakarta 2015, I was back in Kuala Lumpur spending my transit month for my future travel plans. I had the opportunity to do fun run event at Ride and Run With The Stars 2015 held at Alamanda Shopping Mall in Putrajaya. This run was their second edition with celebrities including international artist participating.


Special thanks to MY365Runner / Family Running Crew (FRC), Lim Ahlim for the extra BIB. Another note, this fun run was also a comeback run for my younger brother +Shafwan Wahab after his school training months.

Race Day
Parking was ample as the event venue was at one of the shopping mall in Putrajaya. Reached the event venue 1 hour earlier to regroup with running and cyclist friends.

Water station and medic were available along the race route. Traffic control was fine by PDRM and volunteers. The race route was somewhat flat and straight along the main road within the area.

Decided to ran for the 10K distance instead of 5KM just to add mileage to my 2015 running log. Caught onto cyclist Neves and Liana towards KM7.

Went to collect my finisher medal at the redemption counter. Collection was a little bit hectic but manageable. Instead of mineral water, participants were given a soy milk drink which was really good.

The finisher medal was basic but with good quality and weight. The lanyard could be more exciting if personalised. A was a bit disappointed with the distance. It was under-distance for both 5KM and 10KM for more than 1KM. 

Water station, traffic control and participant welfare was decent. Glad to see photographers and videographer in this event. Thank you to Running Malaysia and other photographers at the scene, Didn't have the chance to take photos with the celebrities though. The celebrities should take the opportunity to mingle around with their fans during the event. But I did have photos with Neves Cugat, singer of the song title "B".

Summary: A good fun run event by organisor, partners and sponsors. Looking forward for your chosen celebrities for 2016 edition.


Event Recommendation: ★★★☆ (3/5)
