Normally by 1730 hrs the crowd starts to build up. An average of 60 members turn up for the run. The "On sec" normally calls the chatting crowd to order for announcements 5 min before the run. The next week's runsite is also announced.
Sometimes I bring guest to the run ..like in this week's run I brought my daughter Alicia and nephew Jian Siang along

The trail is normally laid with square or shredded white paper. Sometimes, flour could be used. Normally the first km starts on good grounds to facilate the runners to warm up. Then it is uphills, down hills, through jungles and estates. Sometimes if the hare is a bad guy the trail could be set on a wild boar route and that includes crawling through a wild boar tunnel!

If it is the rainy season always be prepared to get wet. There was once in Kuching many years ago when the run site was in a flood prone estate and there was a heavy down pour. I remembered swimming out as it was too far to turn around.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEpovgSUP3O-vps8uRh6qoyPNYnvkw8ilRg-0kz5YslWERLdD8IuzykHIbaKpuqYiVD47NQb7Wn7CvI15D-AKCnt-jTwdhjTIDse9kbhykaAX9DAFM9nybKkk_hNEpQ-5aXbMn49_DVZ0/s400/DSCN1779.JPG)

After the run it is going to the ON DOWN where a good dinner and beers are organised. Sinners who had taken short cuts, stolens fruits along the way are punished here. The punishment is drinking beer while standing on a chair!
So you see, this is good life again and it only cost us RM4.00 per run. We get pewters for completing 50 runs. I had done about 350 runs with this group. It is always an enjoyable event even though I do not drink nor do I attend the ON DOWNS ( ai yah will get fat lah).
