Kuching, Malaysia; 6 September 2017 – Last Sunday, the 3rd of September 2017, more than 1,500 runners took part in the second race of the Malaysia edition of The Performance Series. The event comprised three categories, Competitive 21km, Competitive 10km and 5km Fun Run, flagging off at MBKS (Majlis Bandaraya Kuching Selatan). The iconic 21km route included two bridges and, together with the 10km and 5km categories, passed through the city offered magnificent views of various landmarks.
Coupled with great weather, the race gathered individuals, families, and communities from all walks of life and all parts of Malaysia, as well as a large number of international visitors. Runners at the finishing line were greeted by fresh fruits and buns, together with additional entitlements (finisher medal – all categories and finisher t-shirt – 10 km and 21 km).
The race volunteers, marshalls, and supporters have made this event a great success by creating an enjoyable morning for all participants.
