BSN Putrajaya Night Race 2011 A+

BSN Putrajaya Night Raya organizer should held their head high as it is very well organised (as far as Tina and I am concerned anyway). Before I jumped ahead a brief details of my run are as follow:

Run Name : BSN Putrajaya Night Race

Date : 15th October 2011

Time : 8.40

Distance Ran : 10km

Running Buddy : Tina , although ZCAT was there did not manage to see him as this time around we went on separate cars

 
As earlier mention the race was organise smoothly , BSN as first time sponsor should be proud of themselves . They really make sure everything went well. Things the made the race an A+ in my book was:

Race Location & General Logistics
The race location was in Putrajaya, this is not the first race I joined that was held here but somehow the organizer took the extra effort to ensure everything is well coordinated. There was RELA assisting / directing us on where to park and they where also accordingly placed on roads that were closed just to make sure no one remove the cones placed there. Yes, people this does happened before.

Forgot to mention parking was free.

 Luggage Keeping Facilities

Although it was a bit further down than where all the activities where taken place, I think it is a bit more secure as there was no crowd at the location and the person in charge can focus and not be distracted. They also decided to segregate the booth according to the distance you run so there was no queue when I went to send and retrieve my bag.

Water

The was lots of water. They gave mineral water bottles both before and after the race. The during the race there was 3 water stations; normaly they put only 2 water stations even though sometimes they advertise 3 . Feel so cheated when that happened.

Cheers and fireworks

They started the race with fireworks how awesome is that ... not much can goes wrong in event if you got fireworks :-)

Anyway along the way again strategically placed cheer team. The first cheer group encounter was probably; if not mostly BSN workers. Don't know if it was volunteer or instructed but they all were such good sport cheering us on going up the hill. Then there was the marching band; loud speaker was place in some location blasting songs and some tradisional indian drums was played. It was all  good keeping the energy level high.

Food

At the end of the race they gave us packet  food; currypuff and remember anything else.

Anyway Tina finish 1hr 43 min this is a huge improvement from her last race which was 1hr 55min. I did not improve as much my last race was 1hr 33min and this time I clock in 1hr 31min. Hope next time I can clock in 1hr 25+ish min.
