KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) -- Organisers are targetting 18,000 participants for this year's Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 compared with 15,000 participants last year.
To date, about 13,000 have signed up for the June 27, event that offers a total prize purse of US$100,000 (RM341,000).
"The route this year will not be a flat one but a mixture of undulating terrains. It will be an interesting course," said the marathon's director of operations Rainer Blemans who took the media for a tour of the route Wednesday.
The marathon will wind through the city's most famous landmarks such as the old Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, National Museum, KL Sentral, Petronas Twin Towers, National Library, National Art Gallery, Istana Budaya, Putra World Trade Centre and the Jalan Duta Court Complex.
The Standard Chartered KL Marathon director of operations said the marathon would start and end in front of the historical Sultan Abdul Samad Building at Dataran Merdeka.
Seven categories would be held during the marathon, namely - full marathon (open and veteran), half marathon (open and veteran), 10km (men's and women's), 10km corporate challenge, 5km (Fun Run and Family Run) and kids dash (3km and 850m).
