The "Noise & Fume" Half Marathon

I was told that last week PJ Half Marathon (Sept 18, 2005) were ran in a condition where there are heavy traffic along the way, coupled with the road construction along the stretch to Terminal 3. Runners inhaled carbon monoxide plus noise pollution where angry drivers of vehicles staring at a group of runners blocking their way right in the early hours of the day. This was bad and probably hard to do a PR even though the route is pretty flat as compare to PutraJaya Half Marathon. WoW!!!, this is sad and should never happen in a race like that. Anyway for those who ran the race, I hope you have enjoy it and maybe some will regret doing it because of the condition. (nothing against the organizer). Hope this won't happen in next year race and maybe not running along the Federal Highway. How about running along the housing estate of PJ, part of Universiti Malaya, Section 1,2,3,4....... and finished at Universiti Malaya


Cheers...............
