STANDARD CHARTERED KL MARATHON FINALLY DEBUTS IN MALAYSIA!

Having run a few of Standard Chartered Marathons in Singapore, I have the utmost respect for their preparation and overall event management competence.

And now it has finally arrived at our shores! I am so thrilled that this year Standard Chartered will host their inaugural KL Marathon 2009. With bated breath, I am counting to the days to register and have actually started training for it.

Below is the official press release from Standard Chartered:

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 Set To Take Off In June With The Aim Of Being Sustainable

RM 350,000 biggest ever cash prize for a marathon in Malaysia


Kuala Lumpur, 20 January 2009 – The inaugural Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 is set to place Malaysia on the global map of marathons by being a sustainable event. Following in the footsteps of eight successful Standard Chartered Marathons spanning four continents, the Race offers the biggest prize money ever for a marathon in Malaysia (RM 350,000) with a guaranteed prize pool for Malaysian runners.

Octagon, a division of CMGRP (M) Sdn. Bhd and Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad officially launched Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009, today. The launch was officiated by the Minister of Youth and Sports, YB Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri bin Yaakob. Endorsed by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 is also sanctioned by the Malaysia Amateur Athletic Union (MAAU), International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS).

YB Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri said in his speech,

“Our vision at the Ministry of Youth and Sports is to develop an active, healthy and energetic community. Specifically, we aspire to realise this by making running an accessible sport for all to enjoy.

A world-class, international race such as the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 lends support to this goal by fostering the spirit of excellence not just among professional athletes but among all Malaysians, from the youngest to the oldest of them.”

Octagon who are specialists in sporting events worldwide, aims to attract 12,500 participants for what is expected to be the marathon of the year. Ivan Brixi, Managing Director for Octagon in Asia, elaborated,

“We aspire for this race to become a race for everyone – professional athletes, amateurs, families with children, corporate and NGO bodies and anyone who wants to be a part of something fun and inspirational.

We have every intention to make this Marathon a sustainable one – both by “greening” it and through the charity element. This means we will do our best to use recyclable materials where possible for the runners’ giveaways and encourage KL to become a car-free zone for the day. Indeed we will do everything in our power to reduce the carbon footprint of this event.

The Race will start from Merdeka Square on 28 June 2009. The route for the marathon will showcase some of the capital’s most famous landmarks, making it an ideal attraction for tourists and out-of-towners.”

Julian Wynter, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad said,

“We are very excited to add KL to the Standard Chartered series of marathons. In all eight countries where we sponsor Marathons, each has created a real buzz amongst the marathon-running community globally and we know that Standard Chartered KL Marathon will be no exception.”

“Standard Chartered Marathons characterise the values and attitudes we believe in and live by every day – having a can-do attitude, the courage to try, and the stamina and determination to go the extra mile, no matter what. They also embody our Right Partner promise to our governments, our communities, and our people – to help our communities grow and prosper.”

Octagon’s goal is to establish the Standard Chartered KL Marathon as the best in the region and to ultimately achieve the Silver and Gold recognition from IAAF within the next 5 years.

Octagon proudly welcomes Standard Chartered Malaysia as the Title Sponsor and MSIG Insurance (Malaysia) Bhd as a Gold Sponsor in the Insurance category. More sponsors will be announced in the coming months.

Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2009

source from NST

Kuala Lumpur Marathon: FTAAA given the boot, Octagon to take over


THE Kuala Lumpur Marathon is set for a makeover after the Federal Territory Amateur Athletic Association (FTAAA) was unceremoniously given the boot as the event organiser.

Malaysian Amateur Athletic Union (MAAU) deputy president Karim Ibrahim said the national body has taken over the KL Marathon and tasked its new sponsor, Octagon with the organisation of the 2009 event, scheduled for June 28.

"Under the Sports Development Act, 1997, any international event held in the country must be held under the auspices of the national body and not a state body," said Karim in explaining MAAU's move in handing the event to Octagon.

Previously known as the Kuala Lumpur International Marathon (KLIM) with Ambank as the title sponsor, the event was the crown jewel in FTAAA's calendar of events with the marathon reaching its peak last year with the participation of 10,000 runners.

KLIM will now be part of the worldwide Standard Chartered series of marathons with the Kuala Lumpur leg to be officially known as the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009.
Karim, however, declined to say if MAAU will allow FTAAA, which is one of the most active sports associations in the country, a role in the running of the event.

"That we will have to discuss with FTAAA on how it can come in. Obviously, the technical ability of the people who used to organise the marathon will still be needed," he said after the official launch of the marathon in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Kuala Lumpur City Hall culture, arts, tourism and sport department director Muhammad Sidek Khalid hopes the marathon will continue to grow from its humble beginning in 1984.

"We have had 17 editions of this event since 1984 and with the re-branding of the marathon, hopefully it will grow bigger and attract more international runners," he said.
