Putrajaya Night Marathon 2010

Last 2 weeks, Malaysia had it's very first night marathon, held at Putrajaya. We started our journey there around 7.30pm. I haven't been to marathons like this since I last stop running. And no doubt the whole event was familiar to me.

It was held on a Saturday, 6 of February, 2010.

We managed to get a glimpse of the sunset at the carpark there. Beautiful scenes like this don't always show up everywhere.

It was indeed a beautiful day. No rain, not too shiny and not too hot. Just simply perfect for a run.

One big chunk of clouds.

Nightfall at the carpark.

Just a little bit of changes in settings can do wonders.

People queuing up for toilets before the race. Typical scene at any marathon events.

Many people of all ages and all races from all over the world participated in this marathon event.

So pro until can still talk on the phone.

Drooling? :p

There, my chocolate + vanilla drink. Thanks for this, boyf!

You bet. Of course I love it.

The Feeko guy man behind the drink. He's actually very nice to talk to.

Then the boyfriend decided to go for his Mango smoothie, that was when the crowd came.

Freshly blended from fresh mango.

Add little of strawberry syrup to the whipped cream,

then mango syrup to secure the taste.. Ahhhh drool drool.

Memang sedap giler. The freshness of the fruit is the best part :P

Perfect thirst-quencher.

Refreshing.

Funny to see people actually camp in the registration hall.

Enlarge this pic to see what is wrong in this pic. XD

Water stations for the 21km participants.

The timing clock for the full marathon runners, it has been about 3 hours since they last flag off.
