Apologies to those who like the consistency of running on the first Sunday of the month! In August, the Full Moon Ballbreaker is on the 6th, and several of our committee members like stupidly long runs, so we’ve moved our run to the 13th.
The Koh family have selected the popular Cherandong Waterfalls site for July. This will be the same site where our hugely successful (and tasty) Hari Raya feast was held in May.
It has a great river (the upper reaches of Sungei Selangor) for playing in – just keep an eye on small kids with floats or you might have to drive to Kuala Selangor to collect them 🙂
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.
Guests just pay RM10 per run, as always.
The run-site is at a private camp-site, but our club has paid the site fees, and most of the weekend campers will have packed up by the time we arrive.
Directions:
Use Waze or Google Maps to go to “Cherandong Waterfall Trailhead” – this 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!
Then follow our KLJHHH bunny signs to take the trail on the left, which stays close to the Selangor river for 1 or 2 km further to our run-site, where there is plenty of parking. This trail is a little bumpy in parts, but suitable for normal cars – just take it slowly and carefully, and you’ll have no problem.
More detailed directions:
- At the crossroads on the old Ipoh road by the Rasa Chinese Cemetary, set your tripmeter to zero
- After almost 1km further (towards KKB), turn RIGHT to Ampang Pecah
- Continue on Jalan Ampang Pecah for 5.5km
- When your tripmeter reads about 6.5km, just before a bridge, turn RIGHT
- You should see the DAM cafe and DAM fishing pond on your right
- Drive another 2.3km
- When your tripmeter reads about 8.8km, you’ll see a parking area on your LEFT. Turn in, and then follow the plantation road on the LEFT, which soon runs alongside the river
- Follow the hash signs to the run-site, at which point your trip-meter should read something close to 10km
On On!
