There will be an Easter Egg Hunt, so be prepared to follow the Easter bunny and find/win some chocolate!
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. 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.
Some members still need to pay their subscriptions for 2023 (January – December).
EVERYONE (members and guests) must also sign out AFTER the run, so we know that nobody is lost.
Directions
The parking is near a small Hindu temple, set among the buildings of an abandoned palm oil estate, close to a river.
So we park at the top, and then you can walk forward and then follow the track left down to a river crossing, where we may set up our hotdog stall and do the circle.
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate.
The last 3.5km of the driving route has some muddy/bumpy bits and also some nice flat bits.
Everyone needs to take care, and low-slung cars may need to take extra care – don’t rush it!
If you click one of these icons, it will direct you all the way to the run-site:
But check the proposed route carefully – we think that Waze is educated now and will no longer suggest that you drive 6km along a very rough track from Batang Kali, which is no longer passable. To prevent that, simply make sure that you go via Rasa Chinese Cemetary, which is here:
If you follow these instructions, you should find it easily, but we’ll have paper signs as you get close.
After you turn off the main road, the quality of the track varies a lot – some of it is very good, but there are a couple of places where you need to take it slowly.
For traditionalists, you could follow the directions below (there are also good alternatives, e.g. past Batu Caves and up the new Rawang bypass, or via the N-S highway to Bukit Beruntung):
From KL Head North on NKVE and Exit 117 for Sungei Buaya / Serendah.

- Drive straight for about 3km, passing the Perodua factory, and keep in the left lane as you approach the old highway 1 at Sungei Choh.
- Approx 7km: turn left at traffic lights onto route 1, towards Serendah / KKB / Ipoh
- 26km (just after bridge and road sign to Rasa on left) Turn Right, following hash signs onto gravel road at cemetery.
