New Balance Pacesetters 15km Run – Race kit

The venue for this race kit collection is at New Balance concept store in Sunway Pyramid, a bit peculiar place for a race kit collection which normally took place at big open space or big hall.

I arrived at the venue around 10.45 a.m., which is a bit early as the instruction in the email stated that the counter will only open at 11.00 a.m. But, when i walked into the store there’s already few people queuing up collecting their race kits – i must say Pacesetter really improve this time.

Running vest for the event with different sizes were displayed near the entrance of the store, runners can take closer look at the sizes before deciding on the suitable ones. I must say the vest sizes were a bit bigger than i expected, even the “S” size looked big. I decided on “S” size although this is a strange choice for me as i normally wear “L” size. Later i tried the vest and found out that it fit like “body fit”, not too small or too tight, just nice. The “M” size should be looser fit vest for me.

I took a queue after that and presented my email printout of the “registration confirmation slip” to the Pacesetters volunteer and got my race kit smooth and easy – no drama at all like the previous “ENR” race collection fiasco.

The race kit consist of

1. Personalised bib with the No. A1002 and my name written at the bottom of the number. Very nice bib, exactly like the ENR bib package. (Yimster were given bib No. A 1001 – the very first runners to register for the Men Open category).

2. ChronoTrack D-Tag timing chip exactly the same like ENR 2010. Good choice for the timing chip, i really dislike the championship chip used by Pacesetter in last year Malakoff 12km race (my timing was not registered into the final list of finishers thus deprived me of the Malakoff certificate – with photo and timing).

3. Green NB vest for men

It’s a bit expensive paying RM40 for 15km race, but overall i’m happy with race kit and can’t wait to see what the medal look like.

Ok peeps remember the venue have been changed from Tapak A, Lake Garden to Padang Merbuk. Hope to see most of you there :-)
