Travel Time: allow 60 – 80 minutes, depending on where you start from
Date: Sunday 11th June, 2023 (Second Sunday this time!)
Hares: Lucas and Oscar French
Co-Hares: Iris and Zulaika Renshaw
Registration: 1:30 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm
When we ran here in March, it was so popular (scenic trail, nice stream, …) that we agreed to return soon.
So on Sunday 11th June our run-site will be hidden under the swaying palm trees of Batang Kali estate, with fun water features to play in after the run.
Uncle Jerry has been recce-ing a super long 15km run for one of the grown up hashes, but Junior Hashers aren’t that crazy – his kids are going to set a short-ish trail (3km) and a long-ish trail (5km) for us to follow – just be careful to follow the kid hash paper instead of the mother hash paper 🙂
There will be hotdogs and cold drinks, as usual, so please 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.
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 one of the icons below or follow the directions further down – but remember that it might not take you all the way:
The dirt road starts here, just after you turn off the main road:
The run-site is further in – you
To make sure you don’t get lost, it’s also a good idea to read the directions below:
Detailed Driving Directions
• Get to Ulu Yam Baru any way
The B23 Jalan Hulu Yam Baru-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, before the small estate manager’s house, into the estate (earth track) and continue about 1.3 kilometres to the run-site – this is the same as March, but about 300 metres past the run-site we used last year.
The track is OK, but 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 and a rickety bridge!
On On!
