Standard Chartered KL Marathon: Runners left thirsty and frustrated
CHAOS reigned at the Standard Chartered KL Marathon yesterday when the wrong runner was declared the winner while water stations ran dry leaving runners desperate to quench their thirst.
Several runners who signed up for the 5km race expressed their frustration at running a shortened route while the lack of signages along the full marathon route caused others to veer off course.But R. Muniandy, who crossed the marathon finish line at Dataran Merdeka as the best placed Malaysian in a personal best of 2:35:52s, was justified in feeling aggrieved the most when the first prize in the local category was given to second placed finisher Shaharuddin Hashim, who came in eight minutes later."I really don't know what is going on. I know I finished first among the locals but my name is not registering on their (computer) screens," said Muniandy, 31.His New Balance team manager M. Thanasekaran said he had never seen a race so badly organised before.
"First, they gave him the wrong bib number. Then the water bottles went missing from the drinks stations. They have really mismanaged this race," he said.Adding to the confusion was the organisers' failure to furnish details of the podium placings for each event until eight hours later.Muniandy, however, was belatedly installed as the local winner after the error was rectified, said race director Hemant Dua in a statement.The KL Marathon, part of the global Standard Chartered Marathon series, replaced the Kuala Lumpur International Marathon which had been organised since 1984 until last year by the Federal Territory Amateur Athletic Association.But race organiser Octagon Asia agreed to pay the Malaysian Amateur Athletic Union RM5 million over 10 years in return for the right to organise an international marathon in Kuala Lumpur.Octagon came in for some harsh criticism from runners after drinks ran out at the water stations along the route."There was no water left for the last 10 kilometres where the risk of dehydration is greatest. I have run at the Standard Chartered event in Singapore three times and this event is by far the worst in comparison," said retiree Tan Guan Chye, 57.The organisers were not spared on social networking site Facebook either, where those running the 5km vented their anger at being shortchanged with many saying they may not return next year.The men's marathon was won by Kenyan Julius Kilimo Kipkorir, who clocked 2:17:02 to win in his first attempt at running the marathon, while Frieda Jepkite Lodepa won the women's race in 2:40:13.Multiple Sea Games gold medallist Yuan Yufang finished as the best Malaysian among the women in 3:16:36 while national triathlete Kimbeley Yap was second to Georgina Beech in the women's 10km event.

Men's marathon: 1 Julius Ndiritu Karinga (Ken) 2:17:02s, 2 Nelson Kirwa Rotich (Ken) 2:18:24, 3 Armon Kipchirchir Kemei (Ken) 2:18:56.

Blind marathon man with a vision and mission
IMAGINE waking up one morning and finding that you are unable to see anything.
That was what happened to Kenyan Henry Wanyoike in 1995. Anyone else might have gone into depression, but not Wanyoike.
Instead of brooding over his fate, Wanyoike was determined to make his life a meaningful one. And, today, he is the Goodwill Ambassador for the Standard Chartered Bank’s Seeing is Believing programme, which aims to raise funds for one million sight restorations.
“I may have lost my sight but I’ve not lost my vision. Just like many other Kenyans, I wanted to be a champion. Determination, dedication, discipline, sacrifice, commitment and team work have made me a champion today.
“I have completed 18 marathons, and not only have I taken part in the Paralympics in Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004) but won gold medals in the 5,000m. I could not have achieved these results if I had not accepted the challenge when I lost my sight in 1995,” Wanyoike said

Wanyoike is in Malaysia for the Standard Chartered KL Marathon which will be held at the Dataran Merdeka tomorrow.
The ever-smiling Wanyoike will be taking part in the half marathon.
During his stay in Malaysia, Wanyoike and his guide Joseph Kibunja spent about two hours at SM Pendidikan Khas Cacat Penglihatan in Setapak.
Wanyoike shared his experience with the students while Kibunja highlighted his partnership with the runner.
Kibunja said he had been Wanyokie’s guide since 2000.
“Together we have taken part in many events. It is not something easy but we have managed to overcome the odds due to our understanding and communication. I am happy to be with him,” Kibunja said.
Over the last five years, Wanyoike has won medals in the marathon, half marathon and 10km runs. He is also an accomplished track athlete, winning honours in the 10,000m, 5,000m and 1,500m.
In the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) world championships in Lille, France, Wanyokie won the 10,000m and 5,000m, setting new world records in the process.
He also holds the marathon world record (2’31:31) for the blind, a feat he achieved in Hamburg, Germany, in 2005.
SM Pendidikan Khas Cacat principal Che Fatimah Che Abdullah said they were grateful to Standard Chartered for initiating the programme.
“We will have about 30 students taking part in the KL marathon. Out students will certainly be inspired after listening to Wanyoike and Kibunja,” she said.

The Standard Chartered Marathons held in eight other countries have been very successful, and we look forward to bringing the same excitement here to Malaysia,” said Julian Wynter, Managing Director and CEO of Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad. “With the strong support from the various ministries, sanctioning bodies and partners, we are confident that the Marathon will be become a signature community event for Malaysia and a premier sporting event in the region,” Wynter added.
Dua added that for runners who did not manage to sign up in time, there is still an opportunity to be part of the marathon, as a volunteer. “We would still love to have you there on Race Day as a volunteer. Volunteers are the backbone of any sporting event and will help us ensure that runners from around the world have a great time in the city of Kuala Lumpur and are treated to the best of Malaysian hospitality,” Dua urged. A team of some 500-plus volunteers is required to assist before and during Race Day. Key areas include Race Pack distribution, Fruit and Drinks distribution, Course Marshalls, Crowd Control at Finish Line, Media Tent, and Luggage Tent.
The Race Day carnival festivities are also extended to family and friends of runners, KL-ites and tourists. They are invited to attend in support of the runners, and enjoy the Race Day activities at Dataran Merdeka, the site of the Start and Finish Line of the marathon. Among the events lined up for the day are musical performances and cultural dances, marching band and cheerleading performances, as well as fun activities for the kids like face painting, clowns and bouncing castles. Spectators can also share in the runners’ excitement and jubilation as they cross the Finish Line!

This places the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 as the largest marathon to be organised in Malaysia, in terms of participation-numbers. It also offers the largest prize with total RM350,000 prize money, with a guaranteed prize pool for Malaysian runners. The marathon will flag off at Dataran Merdeka on 28 June.
“The response to the inaugural Standard Chartered KL Marathon has been nothing short of phenomenal. Not only has it garnered more participation than any other marathon in Malaysia, 92% of the participations are Malaysians, which is a step in the right direction of our goal in establishing a running culture in Malaysia,” said Hemant Dua, Race Director for the marathon.
Title Sponsor, Standard Chartered Bank, expressed delight with the results. “This is the inaugural Standard Chartered KL Marathon in Malaysia and we are delighted with the overwhelming response by the public.
