This site is on the Selangor river, just below the KKB Dam – about 3km upstream from the Cherandong Waterfalls site that we’ve had a lot of fun at.
There will be a CNY meal after the run – please register in advance to sign up for the meal, so we have exact numbers for catering.
The menu includes fried chicken, sweet and sour fish, tofu and vegetables, served with rice, and costs RM30 per person (free for paid-up members). For guest (non-member) kids, the RM30 includes the meal and the run fee.
On arrival, PLEASE remember to sign in BEFORE the run, at our registration desk. Members just mark the registration sheet, and guests must fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.
EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost or washed downstream to see the fireflies at Kuala Selangor.
If you have camping table/chairs, they could be useful.
The site is next to a river, of course! The flow can vary, depending on how much water they’re letting out of the dam, so please check it before your kids go for a paddle.
If you like white water rafting, you can try booking that for the morning, before the Junior Hash run. There are also a couple of other rafting operators on the same stretch of river. You can read a description of rafting the Selangor river here.
Directions
To reach this site, you need to drive through KKB town, on state highway 55, and keep straight towards the dam. Then watch out for a small left turn.
Both Waze and Google Maps know this location as “Water Rafting Kuala Kubu Bahru by PROJEK OUTDOOR”, and these links should take you straight to the run-site:
On On and Gong Xi Fa Cai !!!
