The fee has gone up for this run compared to last year. Last year fee for 10K run was RM10 where only the top 5 got hamper & top 20 got finisher medal.This year 10K run not even available.
Last year RM25 per family for 3K run. This year increase to RM35 per family for 3 & 4.5K distance.
Its a charity run thus, much of the items are sponsored.
If you live in Kota Kemuning & vicinity, you can actually run the route for free with your friends and / or family anytime / day you wish. There is an existing foot / jogging path that stretches the entire route that the organisors plan to use for this race.
Raising fund these days is not an easy task. I have not taken part in this run but readng thru their brochure, i gather that it is organise by a local community group.
For RM35 - the Organiser provide up to 3 t-shirts, coupons for light breakfast and an avenue for family members to share a weekend in a healthy environment and the community especially from the surrounding area to get together which is a rare occasion especially when most of us are busy chasing after material wealth.
Its very much depending on your perspective as why you wanted to run in a particular event.
Even NB15K organised by Pacesetter charged a whooping RM40 for public participation tho' most of the items and cost are sponsored. but thousands still support the event year after year.
I feel paying RM35 for 3 in a family outing and able to contribute something to the society is really nothing unless one has other objective.
Like I said....If you live in Kota Kemuning & vicinity, you can actually run the route for free with your friends and / or family anytime / day you wish. There is an existing foot / jogging path that stretches the entire route that the organisors plan to use for this race.
In short, you can Run with your family and / or friends anytime / day for free of charge and use the RM35 for a good meal afterwards to extend the time with family & friends. Why pay for cotton T-shirts?

Worth it or not to pay RM35? You decide.

It is very much a personal choice.
