THE UPM Sports Complex in Seri Kembangan is expected to be the home for the Mizuno Wave Run.
The organisers, World of Sport, are happy with the positive feedback from the participants for this year’s event held at the complex recently.
Proud day: Sieh (centre) with the winners in the women’s Open category. World of Sports sales and marketing manager Glenny Da Costa said the venue was ideal for the run which had attracted about 4,500 participants.
“The previous runs were held at Padang Merbok but we found the place not conducive with the increasing number of participants. We would like to thank UPM for playing an important part in making the run a big success. They had given us excellent support,’’ said Glenny.
However, Glenny admitted that there were some shortcomings but was confident of overcoming them during next year’s event.
Veteran runner Yee Sze Mun, who had taken part in the Ironman in Hawaii, said he enjoyed the run and the route was quite interesting.
Another participant Uu Ban Leong said there was lack of parking facilities at the complex.
“Many had to park quite far away to get to the starting point.
“But the starting and finishing centre were appropriate and not confusing.
Time to eat: The participants having watermelon after completing the run. “I would certainly return for next year’s run,’’ said Uu.
Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi, who makes it a point to be part of the run every year, said the event was well organised.
“There is no cash prize but the run managed to get a big number. The OCM will continue to support the run,’’ said Sieh.
