The Terry Fox Run is an annual non-competitive charity event held in numerous regions across the globe in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and his Marathon Of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research. The event was founded in 1981 by Isadore Sharp, who contacted Terry in-hospital by telegram and expressed his wishes to hold an annual run in Terry's name to raise funds for cancer research. The run itself is informal which means that the distance often varies, usually between 5 and 15 kilometres; participation is considered to be more important than completing the set distance.
The wonderful drivers of Malaysia. Double parking is one thing. At least they have the courtesy to leave the 'BUS ONLY' area vacant.
Pre run waitDespite having a faulted start and lack of signages that show the 'Advance' and 'Family' courses (where some people took a wrong turn..), the run was a great way to spend a Sunday morning. Waking up at 6 and heading to KL while the Sun rises felt great. I finished the 6.5km course in 43 minutes. Damn. Was targeting 39. Ian beat me to the finish line during the final 1km due to me slowing down and not hitting my NOS on my N95 in time. Sigh. Nvm. Next week its the IOI Community Run, which is 7.5km. My target? 48 mins.

On another note, congratulations to my former college mate Abdul Azim on his blessed day!~
