CANCELLATION OF KUALA LUMPUR STANDARD CHARTERED MARATHON 2020


                                 


 Press Statement 

In light of the uncertainties brought about by the still developing Covid-19 global pandemic, Dirigo Events regretfully announces the cancellation of the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) 2020 that was scheduled to take place on 13 and 14 June 2020. The health and safety of our runners, organising crew, volunteers, medical personnel, officials and police personnel are our top priority, and after consultations with all relevant stakeholders, we could not in good conscience proceed with the event without being able to guarantee everyone’s safety.

After exploring all possible avenues for a postponement of the event, we unfortunately could not find an available date or venue that would be suitable for an event of the magnitude of KLSCM. We have therefore decided that the only possible course of action would be to cancel this year’s event and automatically defer all individual registrations to 2021. We are planning to have KLSCM 2021 at a similar time period as this year, which is the second week of June, pending confirmation from the city council.

“This was not an easy decision as we understand the amount of time and preparation that has been put into this year’s event from all parties has been significant. Thank you to all of our runners, volunteers and fans for your support and understanding at this time. We realise that there will be many questions with regards to the cancellation in the coming days and have updated our FAQ section on our website to address this,” said Rainer Biemans, Project Director of KLSCM and Director of Dirigo Events, the owner and organiser of the event.

Consequently, all remaining Running Clinics, the REPC (Race Entry Pack Collection) and the Active Lifestyle Expo for KLSCM 2020 have also been cancelled. The Run For A Reason (RFAR) charity initiative will continue until 14 May and all funds raised thus far will be disbursed to the respective charity beneficiaries.
We implore everyone who is a part of the KLSCM family, and the wider national and global community to do their respective parts in combating the coronavirus.

IN MEMORY OF EVELYN ANG

Specially written by Michelle Jane ( https://www.facebook.com/michelle.jane.397 )


No cones
She runs, 
He runs, 
We run, 
They run.

She stops, 
He stops, 
We stop, 
They stop, 
The car does not stop.

No cones they say, 
So what we say. 
No cones they say, 
He did not stop we say.

A life taken, 
No cones they say. 
A life gone, 
No cones they say.

They have one answer, 
We have no answer.

We hope, we pray
That just one day
Justice will be served
The punishment deserved.

STANDARD CHARTERED KL MARATHON 2019 OPENS BALLOTING FOR PUBLIC


Balloting will run from February 13 to 19, 2019

Due to the overwhelming response to the loyalty registration period for the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2019 (SCKLM2019), there is a reduced number of slots available for public registrations as compared with the year before. There are a total of over 10,000 slots available across all categories and in order to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity of getting a race slot, public registrations for the SCKLM 2019 will be in the form of a ballot.
Runners will be able to cast their ballots from 10.00am, 13 February 2019 to 11.59pm 19 February 2019. Ballot selection will be completely random and computerised, and will be activated by YB Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Minister of Youth and Sports on 22 February 2019. Successful applicants will then be notified by email and will have until 5 March to complete registration by making payment. Each person is only allowed one ballot entry.
“We’ve taken some learnings from our 10th Anniversary edition last year and to prevent situations where potential participants couldn’t register due to network congestion or poor internet connections, the balloting period will ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity of earning a race slot for SCKLM2019,” said Rainer Biemans, Project Director of SCKLM and Director of Dirigo Events. “We apologise to the running community as we’ve had to institute this system in reaction to the unexpected volume of take-ups during the loyalty registration period but moving forward, we will be using the ballot system for all registrations from 2020 onwards. There will be a guaranteed quota for 2019 registered runners and those who are unsuccessful in the loyalty registration ballot in 2020 will be automatically included in the ballot for public registrations, giving you two opportunities to secure a race slot,” added Rainer.
The multi-award winning Standard Chartered KL Marathon will be held on 28 and 29 September 2019 at Dataran Merdeka.
