Welcome to Malaysia Women Marathon

About The Race

Malaysia Women Marathon 2013 welcomes you to Malaysia. An event created just for women to run the marathon amongst themselves. A marathon that wants to build a culture for women to run and feel great joy running; be it the marathon or the shorter distances.

This is the event to be where there is no fear about not being able to complete the run, because your sisters in running will see you finish it; and for when you finish the run with the sense of bonding and achievement with your soul – sole sisters. There is nothing to stop you to getting there to the finish line!

This is the event we celebrate WOMEN IN RUNNING for we have come a long way since we were legalised to run the marathon. We celebrate our role as women, mothers and daughters.

The concept of MWM is to have a woman running legend to grace the event annually. Each year MWM will invite a running star whether past or present. This year we have invited none other than the first woman to champion women’s rights to run the marathon, Katherine Switzer – the marathon woman. Yearly, the pre-event program during Race entry kit collection (REPC) days will encompass a dialogue session reviewing the achievements of women in the running world.

Come be with us….a part of a momentous event, the new sensation to marathon event; a women marathon. Malaysia Women Marathon.

有很多女生開始跑步了，如果妳想將馬拉松作為目標，可以考慮一下『名古屋女子馬拉松（NAGOYA WOMEN'S MARATHON）』。名古屋女子馬拉松是全世界最盛大的女子馬拉松，只有Full Marathon的選項，而且男性不能報名（但男生可以參加21km與10km組的City Marathon）。這屆共有一萬四千多個女生報名，完跑率高達97%，跑者幾乎清一色都是日本人，年輕女生很多…能與一萬四千多個日本妹一同征服42公里實為超特別的體驗，對女跑者來說也能減低緊張情緒 ♥ 名古屋市的街景沒太多特色，但路況極好（而且不像San Francisco馬拉松那樣有嚇死人的斜坡）。水站、補給站、食物站、醫療站都非常充足，志工熱情有禮貌、跑者有秩序….直到35km處的流動公廁都乾淨無異味、甚至還有衛生紙…（排隊上廁所時，志工阿姨會像個媽媽一般對所有女生說：「妳們辛苦了！妳們好棒~」，揪甘心。）街邊有年輕男生舉著牌子，上頭寫：「跑步的女生是最美的女生」在替跑者加油。也有媽媽手繪立牌替女兒打氣：「美智子加油！媽媽替妳應援！」…還有父母帶著小朋友在路邊大喊：「姊姊們加油！姊姊們好酷！」因為比賽日是3月10日，剛好為311東日本大地震兩周年前日；所以也有許多在身上貼著『日本加油』貼紙的跑者。雖然沿途沒什麼風景，但最後在過了42公里立牌後跑進名古屋巨蛋的感覺非常好；幾乎所有女生都是一邊尖叫一邊跑進去（尤其是我們這種完成初馬的人）。終點線有帥哥打扮成名古屋城的武士、還有穿燕尾服的型男手捧放滿Tiffany & Co.綠盒子的銀托盤，發送Tiffany項鍊給完跑的女性（這條Tiffany項鍊是用錢也買不到的完跑禮）。贊助商的補給物很充足，有運動飲料、水、香蕉、麵包、毛巾、完跑T-Shirt…等等，甚至還貼心地準備了小包裝的洗衣精，讓我們這種住在飯店的人能立刻將汗濕的衣服洗淨。雖然報名費是高貴的日幣12000元，但非常適合作為女生的初馬…完跑後別忘了到『世界の山ちゃん』大啖名古屋名物「手羽先（炸雞翅）」、還有『あつた蓬莱軒』的鰻魚飯三吃，好好慰勞一下消耗了兩千多大卡的自己（笑）介紹完名古屋女子馬拉松後，接下來，我將再與大家分享這42公里的心路歷程。（敬請期待）

Here's a little lunch reading for all you MWM fans. :) It's about the MWM Welcoming Committee encounter with Kathrine Switzer yesterday at the LCCT airport. It's a bit on the long side, but it's basically everything I remembered about

Welcome to Malaysia, Kathrine Switzer!

When can we know things such as road closures esp leading into i-city on race day and whereabouts to park. This information is vital for planning purposes and should already be out by now. Thanks.

	There is no road closure entirely. one side of the road is closed. So just follow the map we have posted previously. But do follow our instruction as to how you are to park the car and where. they will be indicated in your race guide book when ... See More >> you come to collect your race kit. << See Less 03 April
