When we find a really good run-site, we like to use it, as we don’t know if it might be bull-dozed or developed one day!
So our July run is back at the same great site we used in April (did you hunt Easter Eggs with us?) and also in February (CNY).
The Cherandong Waterfall area is a beautiful nature area near KKB, and has waterfalls, white-water streams and a small dam. We will be starting a little beyond the Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead, right next to the upper reaches of the Selangor river.
There will be two trails – 5 or 6km for the bigger or more intrepid kids, and around 2.5 or 3km for the smaller ones.
There are rocks and waterfalls and placid pools by the run-site, so something for everyone to relax after the run, as long as you like it wet!
We are not celebrating Songkran this time, but feel free to bring your water guns again 🙂
There will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so it’s going to be a fun afternoon for the whole family – remember to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.
PLEASE remember to register BEFORE the run, at our registration desk (no need to message us in advance!). 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 (aged up to 18). There is no cost for adults, or for babies who are too young to even toddle around the trail.
EVERYONE (members and guests) who signs in must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost.
Directions
Start by using Waze or Google Maps to go to “Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead” – that point is on tarmac, and is on Jalan Kampung Buluh Telur, 44000, Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor.
This is on the right (East) side of the river – make sure that Waze doesn’t take you to the closest road on the other side of the river (Taman Milenium/Mellinium)!
The runsite is about 1km along the river, so look out for the hare’s home-made KLJHHH hash signs.
Follow the KLJHHH signs to turn left onto a track.
It stays close to the Selangor river for around 1 km further to our run-site, where there is plenty of parking. This trail is suitable for normal cars, but the top speed is 20 – 30 km/h, so don’t rush this part even if you’re late.
The parking is at a private picnic/camping area, but the hares have handled any payments required so you don’t have to – just drive up and you’ll be welcome!
These locations are approximate – you’ll need to look for hash signs and turn left off the tarmac road onto a riverside track:
On On!
