Setia Eco Half Marathon Race kit

I arrived about 10.30 a.m. this morning to collect my race kit at Setia Alam Welcome Centre, not many peeps around, maybe it’s still early or maybe most of the peeps are in Singapore for the Sundown Marathon.

I was a bit annoyed with the race kit collection system organised by Marathon Shop peeps, first you need to show your email print out to a special counter where they ask your to find your name in the list, when you found your name they ask you for your ascending number in the list. Then they will give you a card with another number which comprises your receipt, reporting card and vest + bib collection. You going to have a problem if you can’t find your name. The process was smooth after the first counter, when you have this card you can collect your bib (two bibs for each runner, front and back), vest and bag. By the way, the vest is based on first come and first serve basis, if come late to collect your race kit, the NB vest might be out of stock.

A few runners in front of me was also collecting race kits for their friends, which was ok but they were taking too much time in locating their friends names. This is dumb system! i’ll tell you that, why don’t the organiser uses the system like the previous NB 15km, which was superb. Maybe we can give a little face to the organizer – Marathon Shop as it is their first running gig, but we expect an improvement after this, after all it’s not free..

One thing is missing…important thing!
