Title : Charily Run 2013

To : Encik Abdullah Bakri,
Principal, SMK Bukit Tinggi
SMK Bukit Tinggi annual Charity Run for 2013 was held on 18th September.
The event was originally scheduled to start at 6.30 a.m. but the flag-off only
took place at 7 a.m. due to the rain. Like the past years, the run started and
ended at the school field.
The purpose of this year's Charity Run is to raise funds for the local

orphanage. Participants were charged a RM15 registration fee that includes

some mineral water and a t-shirt.
The entire route of the run was 10.5 kilometres. A total of 578 students
throughout the school took part in the event. Nur Amalina from Form 5B
came out first, followed by Boon Keat from 5A, second and Ganesh Lingam
from 4D, third. The winners were presented with medals and hampers by the
President of the Parent Teacher Association, Datuk Rahim Mahmud.
While the event was successfully completed, there were some incidents that
occurred during the run. Two participants lost their belongings. Both of them
left their bags at the side of the field despite being repeatedly reminded by
the organisers not to do so. Participants were advised to leave their
belongings in the hall next to the field where there were students on duty.
Fortunately, they only lost small amounts of money and some snacks.
Apart from that, some participants also sustained minor injuries. This was
due to the fact that they did not do warm-up exercise before running. As a
result, they suffered cramps halfway through the run. They were immediately
attended to by the medical team on standby and recovered after a short rest.
From this year's event, it is clear that there are still room for improvement in
the organisation of this event. For example, more refreshment stands should
be made available throughout the course of the run. This will ensure that
participants are well hydrated while running. Besides, more volunteers
should be brought in to control and direct traffic where the route meets with
the main street. This will ensure the safety of the participants as well as the
safety of road users passing by the area.
