See ya 645am Ciyuan CC 23rd July 2017 Sunday. A fantastic time awaits
4. Immense honor to have you for the Durian Run. As much as we would like to claim
credit, saying how good we are as organisers, we know this is not true. You. Yes, my
friend, YOU are the one who makes or break this event. As simple as that.
We are approaching the day of Torns and Ouches. Are you all prepared to 'TaBao'
(takeaway) your durians on a short walk of 4-5km? Make sure you are ready to
savour the fruit of your labour after the race. Let’s make this the most enjoyable
event for ourselves. Most Importantly RUN FOR GOOD. Registration proceeds all
going to charity. How awesome is that?
Read this manual very carefully. Soak in all the details. Safety always comes first.
Seriously humbled that you would choose to come down for our event. That you
hope to become a Durian Master. To serve and be of value. Giving back to society.
Raising the Durian spirits of those who lack it, when needed through troubled times.
This is something we can never repay. Thank you. Terima Kasih. 谢谢。ந றி.
Yours In Durian
