KL International Towerthon 2009

I just went to KL Tower International Forest Towerthon Challenge 2009 this morning at Menara Kuala Lumpur which is invited by meeeei.

I spend RM20 to register & get a t-shirt + "lucky" number. Some of my friends say the towerthon advertisement design for this year suck, so they not really like the t-shirt.

This is the entrance of the KL Tower.

This is my first towerthon experience. I would say I spent more time to walk than run due to the limited space on the Menara KL stair.

300 people running on the stair. Oop, no, they are not running, they are walking on the stair. The width of the stair is only around the size of 2 people. That only means, there are only 2 lanes. I had been force to walk on the stair due to the limited space & everybody block my way at the beginning few floors. By the time I reach half tower height, I already unable to run.

I am required to run approximately one kilometer uphill before climbing 2,058 steps to reach Tower Head 3 at 288 meter above ground level. There are 24 floors in total, but I would say it take longer time to reach 1 floor than any other building.

One of my friends manages to show her name in KL International Towerthon 2009 Individual Women Open Top 50. I am proud of her.

After the race, the organizer is giving bags & finisher medal to whoever can finish the race.

Overall, RM20 can let me visit KL tower & receive quite a number of gifts, I must say it is worth to join the fun.
