1st penang bridge half marathon and will also be my last, very very very bad experience from the organizers.
1st issue, during collection of the pack, i was given smaller size shirt as they said this year shirt is made larger and asked me to go next counter exchange if wan bigger size. went to exchange for bigger size, told me the shirt size no more d. i complained on the spot and ask for refund then magically they got one LAST shirt tht is the size i wan.
2nd issue, finished the race and everyone was force to queue at a small area for medal collection. there are thousands of people and they wan everyone to cramp there and wait for hours to collect the medal. very badly organized
3rd issue, after queuing for hours i was told that there is no more medal. WTF, i flew all the way from outstation, paid to join the marathon, finished the marathon in time, queued for hours, and i dun even get my medal coz the organizers decided to songlap money and order less medals. i heard that full marathon people doesnt even get their finisher tee coz no more finisher tee as well.
poorly organized for a so-called international event, will not take part anymore and also will tell people not to take part in it
I did my first PBIM in 2014 and have heard all of the above. And because of no 2, I decided there is not going to be another PBIM for me. 3 years down the road, still the same shit eh? WTH..
