This is our 500th run, as well as the occasion for our Easter Egg hunt, so expect some serious celebrations!
The KL Junior Hash has been running since the early 1980’s, so this is certainly a momentous occasion, and we encourage everyone (kids and adults) to express their inner 80’s child – clothes, hairstyle, music, etc.
It’s also our first run after Hari Raya, but our Raya celebration and feast will be at the next run, on 5th May.
Why is it on the 21st (so late!) ? Because we want everyone to be back from the Hari Raya week, so as many members as possible can celebrate our 500th run.
Run-site: Dusun Ayah Heritage camp-site at Ulu Rening, in the Genting Valley and a few km past Batang Kali.
Travel Time: probably a little over an hour for most of us
Date: Sunday 21st April, 2024
Hares: Iris and Zu Renshaw
Co-Hares: Mirthe and Wilma Koh
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm
Admin / Logistics
This run-site is at a private camp-site, so please have RM5 ready to pay for parking.
You can also rent a tube for playing in the river, for RM10 – please make sure your kids know that you need to pay before borrowing them.
If you would like to camp there (RM60 per pitch per night), please contact the site directly – you can WhatsApp to Effa on 019 926 6461. You can see more details at fb.com/effaryanstore.
If you want to stay overnight but don’t fancy camping, there are other chalets, home-stays and eco-resorts in the Ulu Rening area . 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.
We will also have a special souvenir t-shirt for our 500th run, free for members and available for guests and parents to purchase.
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.
There is no need to pre-register – just turn up and find our registration desk.
Event Details
As usual, there will be two trails – long and short.
There will be an EASTER EGG HUNT – some items will be hidden on the trail, and others around the run-site. We will explain the details before the run starts.
After the run, there will be hotdogs and cold drinks, so it’s going to be a fun afternoon for the whole family – remember to bring some pocket money and a change of clothes.
