Wan, There'll be again 2 routes this year, the shorter route will be 3km and the longer one approximately 6km.

Nope, this is not a full-fledge marathon.

Unfortunately, there's no nearby LRT in the vicinity of Lake Gardens. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the closest one would be somewhere near Masjid Jamek, some 10-15km away!

G Wong,

They need volunteers for mainly 2 things :

a) To sell as many t-shirts as possible and to help out on the Run Day. If you are interested in selling t-shirts, then you just have to take as many orders as possible from you friends, colleagues and family members and persuade them to come for the run. Enclosed are the fact sheet, t-shirts sizes and picture of the t-shirt for your perusal.

b) if you are interested in helping out on the Run Day, they need help with marshalling on the route. there is no training necessary, and you will be guided. however, it would mean that you would have to be at the Lake Gardens by 7.00am for the briefing and position placement.

c) You may contact Ms Jo Tan or Ms Yoon at organizer@terryfoxrunkl.org if you would like to be a volunteer

I enjoyed participating in the Run last year and am considering volunteering this year. But could I ask what kind of jobs volunteers are usually required to do?

Rez, the Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF) is one of the beneficiary from this fund-raising event. Not sure if there are others though.

I've just updated the details of T-Shirt collection points and the time where you can collect them.

Also, you can opt to become a volunteer during the event. Contact Ms Jo Tan or Ms Yoon at organizer@terryfoxrunkl.org.

Hey Hey I'd certainly join in this year's run and shall also get friends to partake the charitable event, and have some fun as well! However, please advise if there are collection centers in the Petaling Jaya area ...quite a hassle with the KL traffic, etc.

Melissa, I hope to post up the locations of the T-Shirt distribution booths once it's confirmed. If you are unable to buy the T-Shirt, you can still get them on the day of the event itself.

However, the sizes are not guaranteed to be available.
