Run # 512, 6th April @ Cherandong Waterfalls

Run-site: Cherandong Waterfalls, near KKB
Travel Time: at least an hour from KL/PJ – consider stopping for lunch on the way
Date: Sunday 6th April, 2025
Hares: Marthe and Wilma (Koh family)
Registration: 1:20 onwards
Run Starts at: 2:00 pm

This is one of our favourite swimming spots, and the Koh family always set their runs here – their last one was exactly six months ago.

It’s at a campsite right next to a fun stretch of river, which can flow quite fast in the middle, although the stream had been re-shaped last time we were here, so who knows what to expect?

Please sign in when you arrive:

• Members please remember to mark the registration sheet.
• Guests fill in kids’ details (plus a phone number) on the guest sheet, and pay the guest fees of RM10 per kid.

and PLEASE remember to sign out when you get back from the trail, so we know that nobody is lost. It’s very tempting to jump straight into the stream when you get back, and sit there for three hours, but please sign out first!

As usual, we will have hot-dogs after the run, and drinks for the young and the old, so don’t forget to bring some change.

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 (hopefully!) 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.

These links take you to the end of the tarmac road, about 10 minutes before the run-site:

More detailed directions:
Tell your navigator to guide you towards Kuala Kubu Baru (or use the link above)
• 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 driving track down to the LEFT, which soon turns right to run 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!
