It was the last run
of Penang Bridge Marathon at the old site. This annual event will be moved to a
new second Penang Bridge on coming next year. The second Penang Bridge with the
length of 24km long will be long enough to host an entire 42km full marathon. Penang Bridge International Marathon provide
a positive platform for everyone to join the run as it promote a healthy
lifestyle and balanced living among Malaysians and others alike. I enjoyed this
memorable and historic marathon and for sure I will join this event next year.
See each other again next year on 17 November 2013.
Best Regards,
Beverly.
