This year’s T-Shirt is very thin and “transparent”, could be due to the recent financial crisis. I suggest gals should get another shirt just in case.

I would suggest getting your Terry Fox Shirts before the event. Usually, 2-3 weeks prior to the event, -there’ll be announcements by the organisers on “Collection Booths” around Klang Valley. Last year, I remember there were booths in Bangsar Shopping Complex and Jalan Ampang’s Citibank. Will post the information if I get winds of it.

Also, arrive early to avoid traffic jam. Car pool if possible.

Bring your own water and avoid drinking from the Milo van. Most of the runners last year had very bad stomach ache after consuming the “Sihat dan Kuat” beverage, including yours truly.

Also, I would suggest that the organisers and event sponsors avoid giving out plastic bottled waters since the amount of rubbish and plastic waste generated is very un-eco-friendly.

Nope, there’s no official website this year for Terry Fox Run for KL 2008. Surf to www.terryfoxrun.org for more info. It’s a pity, we’d a great fun helping to run the site last year :~(
