Participants put on their running shoes for 12km trail

At some parts, the trail devolved into a dirt path, challenging those who had been used to just road races, while the hills segment also challenged seasoned trail runners. — Photos: Azhar Mahfof/The Star

THE route may only have been 12km, but in reality it was a combination of jogging, trekking and hiking for the Run Forrest Run event, which meandered through both forest and hilly areas around the Malaysian Agricultural Exposition Park Serdang.

Organised as part of the inaugural National Sports Day, the morning event comprised the Women’s and Men’s categories, as well as a three-kilometre family segment.
