Malakoff Penang 2012 - Report

WELL DONE to everyone who took part and CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the Malakoff 17km and 7km, Penang 2012 on 25th March 2012. Running for the 5th year - the new venue and distance gave runners a different "taste" of Penang, with the race beginning at the historical site of Padang Kota Lama or the Esplanade as some locals know it to be. The shorter and flatter race course also gave more runners the chance to try out the new, non-conventional distance, while taking in some different sights of Penang from the last four years.

Blessed with great running weather - slightly cloudy with a sea breeze, the Malakoff Penang Run was an amazing race once again - proving that Penang is an ideal destination all-round, from friendly helpful folk, to yummy food and beautiful well-kept heritage buildings.

In the Men's Open race, the Kenyans took a strong lead with Muindi Onesmus Muasya and David Kipkirui Mutai coming in first and second respectively, finishing only seconds apart. The Women's Open race was lead by another Kenyan, Njihia Ann Makuhi who finished a good 18 minutes ahead the rest of her contenders.

Thank you to Malakoff Corporation Berhad for sponsoring the race. Also a big thank you to the Penang State Government, Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang and Majlis Sukan Negeri Pulau Pinang for making the race a great success. We'd also like to thank our co-sponsors Gatorade, Powerbar, Nestle Fitnesse, Perskindol, Athlete's Circle, World of Sports, CHT and Quick Release Adventures for all their support.
