HOW DID THE RIVER JUNGLE MARATHON 2012 COME ABOUT?
The River Jungle Marathon 2012 is back by popular demand!
The River Jungle Marathon is one of the most beautiful marathon destinations in Malaysia. Located just 20-minutes from the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the marathon is set amidst a landscape like no other. On this full marathon route, you will experience a mix of Malaysia’s beautiful landscape bringing you through valleys, rivers, dams and mountains.
Experience all this without even having to leave the road, as The River Jungle Marathon is an On Road run.
WHY THE RIVER JUNGLE MARATHON 2012?
We believe running should be fun; it shouldn’t be all about how fast we can run.
The River Jungle Marathon is not a race. There is no big prize money at the finish line. It’s simply for runners who find joy of just being able to run! It’s a run that attracts runners from all walks of life. So we recommend for you to bring a notepad and exchange numbers!
WHAT TIME DOES THE RACE START?
Race Briefing (compulsory) : 4.15 AM
Race Start : 5.00 AM
THE ROUTE
The first thing you need to know is that you will be running a full marathon distance. It’s 42.195 km (or a little more), and there is no other distance. It is, not for the faint of heart.
The River Jungle Marathon is a road run (all asphalt, and no, it’s not a trail run). The route will take you through the scenic villages of Hulu Langat leading you up a 1000 feet climb or about 2.5KM of non-stop uphill running, past valleys, rivers, mountain views, jungle, a hot spring, and even monkeys. Yes, monkeys (if you’re lucky).
It won’t be easy, but if you’re a nature lover who likes getting away from the usual hustle and bustle of a city road race then this will be exactly what you will be looking for!
RACE TECHNICALITY
First thing first: THIS IS NOT A RACE!
There is nothing technical about it. SO what is we run 43KM or 41KM, we will still be running right? Of course, we will do our best to ensure it gets as close to 42.195 KM as possible.
HOW WILL WE DO THIS?
Run your own race, at your own pace. There isn’t a qualifying time for The River Jungle Marathon. We would recommend runners to try to complete it within 6-hours but rest assured that we’ll be there to wait for you to cross the finish line even if you take 8-hours. However, to be fair to our amazing volunteers, we have decided that if you don’t finish the race within 10-hours this year, we’ll have to escort you back to the starting line in one of our fancy Volkswagen Sweeper Car!
There will be designated water station, and support vehicles along the route. This is precautionary just in case a runner needs a lift, gets sick, injured or etc.
Just flag down any of our Volkswagen Support Car if you need assistance!
FINISHER T-SHIRT
While we will definitely have sufficient Finisher T-Shirt for every runner, the availability of sizing is based on first come first serve basis.
