The day finally came when Shahrudin bin Hashim, Subramaniam Rangar & Muniandy Ramadass - the Top 3 Full Marathon Malaysian Men Open Winners of the recent Penang Bridge International Marathon (PBIM) were sent by the PBIM Committee to run in the 2010 C&D Xiamen International Marathon held on 2nd January 2010.
Accompanying the runners to Xiamen, China was Penang Bridge International Marathon Chairman, YB Danny Law Heng Kiang who was also there to attend the 2nd Xiamen Marathon Forum. This is the very first time that winners of a marathon in Malaysia were sent to participate in any overseas marathon a part of a bonus to their win. The main objective of the Penang Bridge International Marathon Committee in doing so was to encourage the marathon runners by gaining the experience of running in an overseas international marathon such as the Xiamen International Marathon in order to improve their running performance.
The Top 3 Malaysian runners had finished their run with Muniandy Ramadass completing the marathon in 2:40hrs, Subramanian Rangar in 2:47hrs and Shahrudin in 2:50hrs.
