The Marathon Shop gave a teaser during the previous River Jungle Marathon about this new marathon that they will put up in 2013. Now the waiting is over and The Marathon Series 2013 is here! The Island Ocean Marathon will be held in Langkawi on 21 April & The River Jungle Marathon will be on 1 September.
They pack both boutique marathons into one package and giving out good offer. But if you ask me my main reason to join both marathons, it will be the unique designed finishers medals. Collecting both medals and you can join them as one ying-yang 阴阳 symbol.

I had registered and planned for a family holiday along the marathon in Langkawi. Are you joining me ?

Note: the Android Mobile Blogger really suck, good enough for a simple wordy blog post but can't do much on layout editing. What you see now is edited on the laptop.
I'll go for RJM but not for OIM. OIM is too near BIM for me. :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun running and vacationing next year Neoh. :)
See you in RJM then.
DeleteFirst time bring along the family when I doing Marathon, hopefully I don't mess it up... :P
Anyway, holiday with the family first, marathon is the side dish ;)
Planning to limit my marathon participation in a year and might not be able to include this in my plans but RJM is very likely!
ReplyDeleteSee you in RJM then.
ReplyDeleteI registered this combo mainly due to the location and the medals. We usually plan a family vacation in April and this marathon fit nicely into our plan :)

DeleteBest of luck Neoh... U'll be seeing me in both of the Series... The IOM is very tempting eventhough BIM is just around the corner, so I'll give IOM a shot... Hopefully I'll endure this roasted-to-be IOM as my 2nd FM... C ya then! =D
ReplyDeleteSee you then and good luck on the 2nd FM.
DeleteJust prepare enough sun block for IOM.
Jump into sea if too hot :P
