Traditionally, December would be our Christmas run, but we only restarted last month and some of the rules are still unclear, so this is a ‘normal run’, and we’ll probably have a BIG PARTY at the beginnning of January instead.

We only had a few runs in 2020, but went to Ulu Rening twice, so it must be good! Just like the old run-site at the suspension bridge, this new one is right by a fantastic stream that you can sit in or float down after the run.

Run-site: a new site at Ulu Rening, in the Genting valley and a few km past Batang Kali.
Travel Time: 70 to 80 minutes, depending on starting point
Date: Sunday 5th December, 2021
Hares: Lai (GM) and family
Registration: 1:20 onwards – please follow SOPs for registration – masks, scanning QR code, etc.!
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

Our parking area is on private land, so please have RM3 ready to pay for parking.

There are plenty of chalets, home-stays and eco-resorts in the Ulu Rening area if you want to stay overnight (Saturday and/or Sunday). They vary from cheap & simple chalets to posh chalets (e.g. Huda’s Haven) to secluded mansions that sleep 10 and have private swimming pools. Unfortunately the Teratek Tok Alang campsite by our usual run-site is fully-booked this weekend.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, in a socially distanced manner, 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. It’s very tempting to jump straight into the stream when you get back, and sit there for three hours, but please sign out first!

As always, we will have plenty of drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.
We are also hoping to have delicious hot-dogs after the run.

Directions:
The run-site coordinates are approximately 3.4903,101.693637

With most run-sites, Waze or Google Maps can navigate all the way there, but this site is not on roads that they know, so if you try to follow the directions all the way then you may end up in the wrong place.

This week, you should only follow the Waze / Maps driving directions as far as the T-junction by the Masjid Ulu Rening (can find it in Waze / Maps), and then turn left and follow KLJHHH signs along little roads to the run-site.

If you click on one of the icons below, or look up “Masjid Ulu Rening” on Waze, that will definitely get you as far as the mosque correctly, and then you’ll need to turn left and watch out for our KLJHHH signs.

Traditional directions from Batu Caves:
– Take the B57 Hulu Yam Baharu road.
– Drive past the Hulu Yam dam and reservoir.
– After crossing a bridge, you’ll hit a t-junction – turn left into Hulu Yam town
– In the centre of town, turn right towards Genting Highlands on B113 and set trip meter to zero.
– 4.4 km Traffic lights, Shell station on Left, turn RIGHT onto B114.
– 5.9 km Turn LEFT (signposted Air Panas Hulu Tamu).
– 10.7 km (T-junction in village by mosque) Turn LEFT
– 10.9 km Turn RIGHT
– follow KLJHHH signs

Tradtional directions via Rawang or Serendah (which can be reached in many ways):
– Continue north on Highway 1 ( Old Ipoh Road ) through Serendah to Batang Kali.
– At traffic light in Batang Kali (just after police station on right), turn RIGHT onto B113, and reset your trip-meter.
– 1.9 km At traffic lights (Shell station on right) turn LEFT onto B114.
– 3.4 km Turn LEFT (signposted Air Panas Hulu Tamu).
– 8.2 km (T-junction in village by mosque) Turn LEFT

Location
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate – just click one of the icons below or follow the directions further down:

The dirt road starts here, just after you turn off the main road:

The run-site is further in – you can use this Waze link, but if you put the same coordinates into Google Maps it will take you the wrong way, past an orchid farm.

To make sure you don’t get lost, it’s also a good idea to read the directions below:

Directions
• Get to Ulu Yam Baru any way
The B23 Jalan Hulu Yam Bharu-Batu Caves road is a good way from most starting points, but you can also go through Serendah (use the Rawang or Sungei Buaya exit from the N-S highway) and Antara Gapi
• Zero your tripmeter at the bridge over Sungei Liam, just before you enter Ulu Yam Baru town.
• At the t-junction immediately after the bridge, turn LEFT towards town.
• At 0.9km, in the middle of town, turn RIGHT onto the B113 towards Genting Highlands.
• Pass the Balai Polis on your left.
• At about 2.1km the road bends sharply to the left.
TURN RIGHT HERE AT THE SIGN ‘LADANG BATANG KALI’ (small tarmac road)
• Then take the first right into the estate (earth track) and continue about 0.7km to the run-site

Some parts are a bit tricky for low-clearance sports cars, so we suggest you leave the Ferrari at home and bring the Perodua instead.

The runsite has plenty of parking near a small stream – or maybe a big stream after all the rain.

Please watch out for small kids when you drive in and reverse into a parking space!

Note: It’s always a good idea to bring insect repellant, for mozzies, etc.

And it’s always essential to bring a change of clothes, plus a water bottle to keep the kids hydrated on the trail.

On On!

We don’t often repeat the run sites this soon but we are back with the old and familiar again! If you came by in August, you will remember the site right by a cool stream and a little suspension bridge. Some of us brought our fur kids along and they too had a blast.

Run-site: Ulu Rening, near Huda’s Haven resort (in the Genting Valley, near Hulu Yam / Batang Kali)
Travel Time: 70 to 80 minutes, depending on starting point
Date: Sunday 4th October, 2020
Hares: Lai family
Co-hares: French family
Registration: 1:00 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

This month we are starting HOT DOGS again!!!
As usual, we buy the best premium sausages from Victoria Crest (halal), so your taste buds and stomachs are guaranteed a good time.
So there’s no need to bring your own picnics (but you still can if you want).

And as always, we will have plenty of drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.
Also, for the members who didn’t renew your membership last month, don’t forget RM100 per kid, and try to come early as renewal takes a minute longer than normal registration.

PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, in a socially distanced manner, 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.

Directions:
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate – just click on the icon below or look up “Huda’s Haven” on Waze.
But don’t drive all the way to Huda’s Haven – follow the directions below (or our KLJHHH bunny signs) when you get close.

Once you reach the T-junction in Ulu Rening village, turn left and follow brown signs towards “Huda’s Haven” and then green signs towards ‘Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kg Hulu Rening Selangor’, until you see our usual KLJHHH bunny signs.
The run site is before a suspension footbridge across the river.
Once you get within around 200m of the footbridge, you need to look for parking beside the track, as there isn’t any big car park at the end.
Please stay on open/public land and don’t block any entrances.

This is our AGM run!!!
That’s the start of a new membership year, and also the start of a new committee year. So please bring your pocket money to renew your membership, and also think about joining the committee.

The run-site is next to a small river (or large stream?) in the Ulu Tamu area, beyond Batang Kali and not far past the hot springs.

Like everything else at the moment (and until the end of the year, if not longer), we have an SOP to follow, so:
– please stay at home if you have a fever or other symptoms
– when registering, please wear face-masks, present foreheads for temperature measurement, wave elbows instead of shaking hands, and bring a phone to scan our QR code (MySejahtera)
– please remember social distancing – even in the wide open spaces and fresh air, there are still rules

We will be serving drinks as usual, but recommend that you bring your own snacks/picnics.

If you want to make a mini-holiday of it, there are a number of eco-resorts very close by, with prices from RM60 for a chalet at Kem Rimba Tamu (where we ran from in January – call Sunan at 013 388 0713 and say Cesare from the Junior Hash sent you) to a lot more money for glamping at Dusun Bonda, both of which have accommodation overlooking the river.

Directions:
This run site is near the end of the road that goes past the Ulu Tamu hot springs.

Click on one of these icons to head to the run site:

Or follow these directions:
– Exit KLCC and take Jln Kuching/Route 1 and continue for 21km
– Keep right to continue on Rawang bypass for 7.5 km (still on Route 1)
– Keep right at the fork to continue North on Route 1 for 15 km
– Turn right at the traffic lights by Batang Kali police station, onto the B113 (Jalan Batang Kali – Hulu Yam Baru)
– After 1.9 km, turn left on the B114 (Jalan Ulu Kai) towards Ulu Tamu / Ulu Rening
– After 1.4 km, keep left, still on the B114
– After 2.1 km, turn right, towards Ulu Tamu hot springs
– Continue for nearly 4 km, until you reach the run-site beside the road

There are many alternative routes, including a number of different junctions off the N-S highway, but all will go past the traffic lights near the Batang Kali police station.
And all will end up following either blue or pink paper for a fun jungle trail!

On On!

We are back with the old and familiar! This month it’s more of a kampung run than a hard-core jungle run, but there’s no shortage of nature and good views, and the big kids who love to run fast will find plenty of opportunity for that (the slow ones can just walk as usual!). There is a stream to cool off later.
