It was reported that more than 11,000 runners took part in this year Seremban Half Marathon which is one of the most popular running event since 1987. Everything started very smoothly without any hitches. The 21km categories flagged off at 6.45am on the dot and ten minutes later by 10km. Weather was very kind to us, cloudy and cool, a great advantage for us runners especially when the terrain is well known to be tough and hilly. Drinks e.g Gatorade was very generous indeed, lucky draws and so on. Well done to the organiser. We will be back next year!!!

WELCOME TO BROOKS RUNNING CLUB

The idea to form Brooks Running Club came from our President, Alvine Nathan who was our former national marathon runner. The main objective of the Club is the Brooks brand which is already in every runner's mind. Why? Because it is not just the name Brooks Running Club but there is a project called Nathan Project which was started by the President. He has been a coach for many years, training a group of runners wearing only Brooks shoes and without getting serious injuries. The President has been running marathons for more than 23 years and is still among top 10 in the country. This Nathan Project has proved that Brooks shoes helped them to continue running and running. We have now more than two hundred (200) active members in the club and the wonderful thing is that all the members wear 100% Brooks shoes. No other clubs in Malaysia have done this. There will be a few more projects on the way for the club, so watch out! What is the next project in the President's mind? The Brooks Nathan Project is one of the great successes of the Club and the Brooks company as well.
