各位:

蘭卡威馬拉松第二次展延，主辦當局說是應國內外參賽者的要求，所以展延。

最新賽期是明年八月二十日。

但是小弟相信，這多數是反應不好啦！建議台灣跑友勿先報名哦！遲早會像柔佛馬拉松一樣，展延了兩次，主辦依然很差。

以下是它的大會網站：

http://www.mahathirmarathon.com/ - http://www.mahathirmarathon.com/

這個賽事永忠兄之前有推薦過，說真的國內有實力的選手值得前去一試，公開組1至20都有獎金。

但報名費大馬選手30令吉，外國選手30美金，相差三倍多很不合理。另想不到是七時起跑，我還以為熱帶國家都是四或五時起跑，七 時起跑真的太熱了。

最不該是事到臨頭又改期，這對選手很不尊重，尤其外國選手，臨期才改可能無法排出時間到大馬出賽。

唉∼

又丟人了

說丟人可能太沈重了。

但可能會讓人覺得主辦單位辦事實在太沒效率才會延期。

坤樹兄:

真的很不好意思，剛才才與跑友聊天，大馬全馬只能推荐吉隆坡或檳城，其他的等上軌道，不然小弟恐怕怡保全馬事情重演，嚇走台灣跑 友啦！

我必須鄭重澄清「怡保馬拉松」，跑的很愉快，老小也玩的很開心，不知何來「怡保全馬事情重演，嚇走台灣跑 友啦」？永忠兄你多慮啦！

上回你提到有朋友多出怡保馬拉松完走獎牌願讓一面給我，前因亂碼干擾一直無法表達謝意，是否請老兄代我先謝謝這位朋友，如此一來 怡保馬拉松的缺角好像就補齊了，真是太感謝！

請問永忠兄：

                     馬拉松的精神因人而異，堅忍剛毅永不放棄，即使跑到死去活   來又何妨？

                       吉隆坡與檳城馬拉松分別在幾月份舉行？有完成證書嗎？

                                                         謝謝！

                                                                                                            蕭萬呈

萬呈兄：

按常例，檳城馬拉松都在7月的第一個週日舉行。雖未跑過，但印象中有完成證書。

至於吉隆坡，就勞永忠回答了。

坤樹兄:

你太厚道啦！

小弟雖沒去，但是小弟所屬的跑步俱樂部肖友都為主辦當局的效率，怨聲四起，特別是你更沒有拿到完走獎走獎牌，大家都為你不值啦， 而且目前依然有些跑友還是拿不到完走獎牌，怡保全馬，看來小弟只有等待它上軌道啦！

檳城大橋競跑（馬拉松）沒有現場發完走証書，但是今年吉隆坡全馬有現場發証書，只是排隊拿花多一些 時間，有用championchip，聽說它會展期，原本每一次是與香港全馬撞期，確定日期一有，小弟就會告知台灣跑友。

據多次參加國際性馬拉松的經驗, 只要是經過AIMS(國際馬拉松路跑協會)所認可的賽會, 賽後, 所有的完走者都可以獲贈完走獎牌和成績證明書. 這種比較具有規格的賽會, 其報名費都會貴一些.

Run happy.

有一張完走證書就很高興了，能現場拿最好，不然事後再郵寄也很好呀！

因為完走獎牌沒有參賽者的個人姓名、完走時間等資料，誠為美中不足。沒有這些資料，年久月深，子子孫孫很難考古是哪位老祖宗的傑 作。

哈！

好奇的想問，國內目前所辦的馬拉松賽有那些有經過AIMS認可？好像沒聽聞過，該不會都沒有吧！？
