Bukit Kiara - The North Face Trail Running Programme

The 8^th TNF Trail Running Programme was held on 15 November 2014. It was a monthly gathering kind event for a bunch of avid hikers in the Klang Valley. This time, it was at Taman Lembah Kiara. This is my first visit to the Bukit Kiara and according to the organiser, distance covered for the day would be around 4.6 km.

The warm up session started as early as 7am followed by trail run. We were given some briefing on the route and were told that there were sweepers at the back making sure nobody is left behind. Along the route, we found that markings purposely left by the organizers few days ago were not in sight due to heavy downpour in the night before. What a pity as much effort put does not help.

We finished the trail within an hour. It was an easy trekking. We were given post race drink and the third stamp on TNF Count Card. Hooray! With these 3 stamps, we are entitled to a TNF training tee for free!

The park is well-equipped with facilities for public to do their own training.

Here is just like a mini zoo! Lots of fishes and tortoises in the pond while pigeons and monkeys busy asking for food!

The jogging trail here is well-organized too! Kids jogging, cycling and even skating around can be spotted easily here! We are having trail run, the trail we took is not this (which is around the pond) but another trail in the jungle. The jungle trail is well-maintained too, suitable for hiker and mountain-biker!
