not bad...improved a lot

Compared to the 2013 race, the 2014 course had a new route, the organizer performed well and drinks, food and gels are plenty available..finisher t-shirt and medals were given.

Well Organized Event

I have read a few bad reviews about this marathon. However, found it to be well organized with sufficient drink stations, km markers & aid stations. The route was challenging especially towards the end when going up a hill from around 36 to the top at 38km. Anyone thinking of running this event must definitely train on hill running especially with a cutoff time of 6 hrs. I saw a lot of runners finishing after 6 hrs & I think the last runner finished in about 8 hrs.

Good work and thanks to KL Marathon Organiser

Compared to last yr the current 2011 is a better arrangement, good ending n easy to collect the goodie bag wit all inside. Very good idea. However, the only small comment I wish to highlight is the T-Shirt, look very cheap n wrong colour, cannot see at night especially before dawn, should have use brighter color like Lumina yellow, green or blue, so we can see each others and not to hit on the front runner, always realized too late as dull green colour not easy to spot.
