Runners Take to the Challenge of KL SCM’s New Route

This year, the Standard Chartered KL Marathon introduced a new route for the event. The new route took runners to the some of the busiest highways of the city, namely the Duta-Ulu Klang (DUKE) Highway and the Ampang Elevated Highway (AKLEH), offering an interesting bird’s eye view of the city.

The flag-off was conducted by YBhg. Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal bin Talib, Mayor of Kuala Lumpur. Other dignitaries present at the marathon were YB. En. Khairy Jamaluddin, Minister of Youth and Sports, YBhg. Tan Sri Datuk Mohd Sheriff Mohd Kassim, Chairman of Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad, and more.

Staying Committed, Confident and Courageous!

In support of the event, the Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia, Y.B En. Khairy Jamaluddin also took on the 10km Speed category. Khairy successfully completed the race within a 1 hour timeframe, setting an outstanding example to the Malaysian public.

Khairy said,

“The Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2014 is indeed an impressive and well planned event. I am happy that I am fit enough to join and finish this event. Training for this race not only requires discipline but as the tagline for this year’s marathon goes – Committed. Confident. Courageous. Recently, I have launched a programme called Fit Malaysia which aims to drive Malaysians to lead a healthy lifestyle and for Malaysia to be a sporting nation one day. The Ministry of Youth and Sports and its agencies support these kinds of events and I urge all Malaysians to take part in various sporting events such as today’s to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
