Hello kops21 and everybody,
Does that means, if i get my malaysian friend to register(in order
to pay lesser entry fees), he needs to go personally to collect the
items?
Yes! your malaysian friend should be the one collecting for the
"group". Best tell your friend to use fiticious IC numbers that
correspond to your age category. Seems this is the only thing race
official check.
How about returning of the chip? Just return the chip after the
run at Dataran Merdeka, & i can get my RM$20 back on the spot?
Do i need to use my malaysian friend identification to do that?
Same goes for collection of certification.
Nope! Just return the chip on the spot and get back your money.
No checking. Only rule is got chip .. means got money. As for the
cert. make sure your name is printed correct. Again no checking.
They will see your BIB number to confirm before they pass the cert
to you.
Is it necessary to run in the Marathon Vest provide?
Not necessary. The vest quality normally not good as the
sponsors all put the LOGO there. So the race organizors have to
stress all must wear the vest but who can enforce this rule ??
Normally I only wear it after the race.
Looking at the route, is Refreshment station = water point.
Sponging station = wet sponging point(no water provided). There is
no mention of any isotonic drink or gel station.
Last year .. sponge stations got water. This year I am not sure.
But assume no water. Last year got isotoinic drinks after 10km or
15km into the marathon. Last year .. gel station was at the 30km
mark. I am not sure about this year.
As for the water stations .. got lots of water. But better watch
out on the last 3 water stations towards the finish. Normally no
more water .. dry as the sahara. Also no 7-11 shops to buy... real
killer stretch.

Hope this helps,
