Meanwhile , Yuan Yufang ( runner) won the women's 10km race in 41 minutes and 39 seconds.
G.Toiahlan's dominance in the men's 7km senior veteran ensured that Team Power skippered by U. Vicknewaran ( name of runn er ) secured a top podium finish in their home turf race.

"Every year, we spend about RM1 million as part and parcel of our contributions towards running and walking related events.We want to help to develop these events to a higher level in terms of organisation , the quality of the field and increase in number of participants. We are happy and proud that more and more people are coming in droves to run every weekends in various runs organised especially in the Klang Valley, " said James Selvaraj , the regional Power brand manager.
For Power, there is a greater satisfaction than seeing peoiple from all walks of life taking part in the run along with their families and friends on a Sunday morning.
Above all, it is about benchmarking its position as a leader in promoting this healthy lifestyle through running.
" Although we spend $100,000 to organise an event that lasts for few hours, this community event is a way for us to express our gratitude to our loyal and faithful customers who have accepted the brand," James added.
