New malaysian running website

Well, this is one little 'new' running website created by a fellow Pacesetters member which keeps runners in Malaysia alike updated with the latest events and such. Here is what jamie (the "IT man", as he puts it) has to say about his 'new baby':

"Hi all
Would appreciate if the above URL be added to your blogs to increase awareness. We're working hard to add content to the site over the coming 2 months before initiating our activities. These activities will focus on driving new take-ups into the sport of distance running and runnersmalaysia would appreciate whatever help we can get.

The reason is very simple. We all want better quality races, more benefits for runners, competent race organisers and a viable running-related retail environment (we want to see specialty running shops sprouting up! Ones which offer the latest gears at competitive prices and retailers that have the community in mind). For this we need the sport to hit critical mass ie more new runners introduced into the world of running. We as old timers in the sport need to create the demand else we will see the same faces at every race/event. The runners population are ageing and the younger set are too slowly in coming in. If we don't do something about it this sport is running.

There's much we can do to promote the sport and we hope that besides adding the link to our site, you can help us play a role in the future."

^^ Joga Bonito!! ^^
