Run Site
A favourite run site of many hashers, especially our Hare, Cocky. Easy access, good parking, good lighting, nice hills to climb....

The Run
At 6:00 pm sharp, GM V-power sounded the On! On! call. An estimated 60 runners, guests and members, started the run from the tarred road. Halfway, the trail turned right at the water tank into the jungle. A short trek downhill, we reached the other side of the jungle fringe.. cross a small tarred road and entered into another jungle trail. We encountered the 1st check here but was easily sorted out by the FRB=front running bastards.

The trail snakes it's way through rubber trees and finally out crossing another tarred road before entering the edge of Kiara equestrian park. We continued running along the horse tracks and northwards until Penchala link.


It was a rewarding sight at the top of the hill overlooking the Penchala link toll plaza. A clear view of KiaraMas condos, Desa Hartamas, Mont Kiara with the Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower at the horizon.

We then passed by the famous mega-sized bungalow. From here the paper led us back into the jungle. This grueling uphill climb (at least 45-degree slope) took almost 15 minutes and longer for slower runners. By then it was 7:30pm and pitched dark inside. Torch-lights had to be used. (Reminder: pls bring your own torch-lights as we are experiencing shorter day-light at this time of the year).


Finally it was round the western side of Kiara hill passing by the Taman Tun Park and eventually emerging out onto the tarred road leading back to run site. Our group came out at 8:15pm. It was an excellent long run!! Thanks to the Hare and co-Hares for the effort...


The Circle
GM V-power called the circle to order at 9:15pm. The next 2 runs were announced, especially her own run next Tuesday ... her birthday run la!! Dr Lord also made some celebration run announcements. A few hashers and guests were put on ice for some "offence" committed earlier during the run. 


Circle ended at 9:40pm with many thanks to the Hare for the run site food and beers.
