Run-site: Hulu Tamu – the end of the road, near Hulu Tamu Waterfall
Travel Time: 70-80 minutes
Date: Sunday 9th June, 2024
Hares: van der Marel family – Guus and Abel’s farewell run
Co-Hares: Isaac and Mimi
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm
The van der Marel family are leaving Malaysia soon 🙁
But they’re setting a run first!
And they expect to come back in a year or two 🙂
They have picked the same site as last November’s Halloween run, which is a little beyond our May run-site. Although it’s still ‘Hulu Tamu’, the trail area is very different from last month, and we will be going to a beautiful waterfall.
The site has been upgraded, to turn it into a campsite, with easier parking and toilets – luxury!
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.
After the run, 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.
