trudat although not as bad as energizer nightmare run's queue for 1 hour only to hear that goodie bags is finished. they really seems lacking manpower in this race. at the water station after the finish line i even decided to help the attendant to spread the paper cup stacks since only 1 guy had to do both taking out and spread the cups as well as poring the drinks at their respective position.

I think it's just as bad as energizer nightmare run.
Super crowded to get finisher t-shirts. I just simply get s size
baggage claim is a nightmare, stand for 2hrs just to get back my bag
narrow road for tis huge crowd

I'm not joining next yr. Lousy event, period. Oh, I'm not going to buy any Nike products too.

i see. maybe i didnt feel as bad cus i didnt gave them any baggage. herd those who do so had it real bad.

Hey, I got complete it with very slow 1:20 hours. Just now I`m very unlucky, first my huaraches lace is lose at 3KM, so I have to sit down & tying my lace. 2nd times my lace is broken at 8KM place & my bib is gone!! OMG!! , so I have to pick up my huaraches & run (2.6KM) with barefoot until end. But good news is the sole is very good, already run more than 10KM still looks good!! Hm... I need to find a good laces for it after this. Will report here again with my next test, maybe BSN HF 21KM, lol!!!

Here I got something need to shoot about Nike, I think I will not join next year run:

1. The finish line is suck!! All the runners stuck there because of want get a mineral water, actually inside also got water, why still want to make all the runners jam there???

2. The muddy is a nightmare to all runners shoes!!! Lucky I`m barefoot there!!

3. The line up for collect finish T is a nightmare too!! More than 5,000 runners line up to collect it, totally jam like hell!!

4. The last hell part is need wait 1 hour for the bus, but there is still no guarantee got bus coming. Because the crew told me outside are very jam until the bus cannot come in. So, I have to run again from Padang Merbuk to KLCC!! Damn, I think the distance should be around 3- 5KM.

last year if not mistaken they gave an interesting looking pendrive rite?..any finisher Tee for last year's?...

Probably u were not in human jam to get finisher t-shirts also. Tat was nightmare

been there and it sucks. but at least it didnt take hours.

2. The muddy is a nightmare to all runners shoes!!!
This is SUCK &@$!?

I got to wash my NEW sport shoes when reach home. Really SUck ! This happen last year, no improvement at all. It look like "we run trail 2012"

We uni students had to depart from Dataran Merdeka 3 hrs after the event ended.

Glad you are alright. I kind of worry seeing you with that huaraches

With such trouble and barefoot, you still wanna do it again at 21km... haha

I got no complain to Nike coz i always travel light .. Happy with the result even walk for few meter still manage to get sub52 dispite zig zag sprinting ..

Really thanks for your concern, brother. Hope to see you again in next run. You also go for BSN HF is it?? Maybe we can meet again there.

I will continue test the huaraches until I sastisfied. Because It`s feeling is super duper nice in running!!

Hohohohohoho, this looks like muddy version gangnam style.

All this bad experience after Nike makes U wonder.... SCKLM & PBIM always hv more participants than Nike...how come crowd problem at those races are almost unheard of?

I guess Nike just totally overestimated themselves...want bigger than avg crowd but dun wanna spend on crowd control measures... dunno lh..I've decided not to join upon learning of the different start & finish locations...

was it that bad? I don't remember its that bad, probably it was at a later stage after 10K runners passed through.
I don't have much complaint just that the route is boring and too narrow to cater for so many runners. I managed to get my banana, ice cream, chatime and finisher T real fast. It pays to run faster, well not that fast overall and being bigger size as XL practically has no queue at all when I reached. As I said before, if its not because of the additional finisher T, I would not have run though I have registered for it. If its the same next year, I will not sign up.

nike already apologized for the inconvenience but still give excuse that some things is out of their control. i know they cant control the frekin weather but at least if they evenly spread out the runners on the wet field it wont get as muddy. but they force thousands of runners into the same narrow paths. thousand pair of legs stampeding the same spot on the wet field on tend to turn them into mush.

salomon trail 2.0 ?

Salomon X-Trail run was not as bad

Just collected my Putrajaya Night Marathon kit. Since I bought it from someone else who is size M, this singlet is too big for me. Anyone with size S wanting to change. Male of course ya...


*brand new / untested

Haven't try it before, but seems like a lot of ppl taking it.

So bought these for RM68 when collecting PNM kit. Free Tee


Hope it will help me as advertised
