How can the Gov use the word Marathon in the title when it is only doing a "Half" Marathon and not the "Full" Marathon like in prior years?

haza,

according to organizing committee
- time constraint
- lack of experience
- lack of $$$$ (sponsors????)

As at Aug 6, 2008, as per their restructure website / blog i.e. http://www.penangmarathon.gov.my/portal/index.php/blogs; the gov have flip flop to offering the Full Marathon category (to be in line with what they advertise their logo. However as at 7 Aug, the full marathon page is still under construction. So dont know whether still got flip flop or not la.

I am confuse why no race map or regulation provided and they can open for half and quarter marathon registration on their website while keep the full marathon "under construction".

Now they even change name from Penang Bridge Marathon to Penang Bridge "International" Marathon.

Also, since 6 Aug, the "half marathon" has flip from 22KM to 25KM and "quarter marathon" from 10KM to 11KM. I am still confuse..Can call 25KM "Half Marathon" ah? Wont our international braader who are used to international naming convention confuse ah? I Malaysian also confuse.

Again, our braader organisors dont seem to understand that the flip flop and calling the run category any which way they want can confuse people and hurt their so call "branding"

mack,

i hold PAAA responsible for this also. as state and official technical body, they should advise the organising board according and stand firm to preserve the good name of the marathon.

but instead, most state AAA also want to put their hands and foot into a-z of the race.

have nothing more to say.
