The annual PJ Half Marathon is occurring this Sunday, September 24. While MBPJ is yet to officially announce road closures in the town, the route maps for the race are out, and we are able to see for ourselves that the longer distances – the signature 21 km HM and the prolonged 30 km race – cover the Petaling Jaya city centre and surrounding sections.
Expect some areas, equivalent to the loop around PJ State, to be fully closed to traffic. A few of the most important thoroughfares in city could be shared between runners and vehicles. Take note and follow the instructions of the crew/police/MBPJ officers at junctions.
The race village is at Laman MBPJ, in front of Dewan Sivik MBPJ along Jalan Yong Shook Lin, and the flag off time for the 30 km race is 4am. Non-runners who know PJ well, have a look at the map, locate the landmarks and picture driving the route in your automotive. Now imagine covering the identical distance on foot, pounding the pavement for a number of hours. Many will probably be doing the identical again the next Sunday at KLSCM. Runners are a crazy bunch indeed.
In the event you’re within the crazy club, pay attention to the parking areas, water station and prayer areas along the route. Race pack collection is ongoing at Level 4, Jaya Shopping Centre (11am to 8pm today) and it’s also possible to go there tomorrow from 10am to 6pm. Good luck and should you PB. Route maps for the HM, 10K and fun run are below.
