18th March 2018 marked the 2nd Miri Marathon that organised by local Miri Marathon Association. This is also one of the station for the Great Borneo Series (3 major marathon series in 3 different cities in Borneo island – next will be in May at Kota Kinabalu then in August at Kuching city).
In the tribe, not many of us are fans of running. But because we workout as a tribe, hence we decided to participant this Miri Marathon as a tribe and show our town what November Project is all about. Close to 60 of us signed up for the event. The excitement got hived up into the next level in one of the morning breakfast session when everyone got “Jio” (mean Challenged) to upgrade their race distance to next level. Here is our own definition of the running categories.
- 5 KM – We call it kids run, hence no participation from us
- 10KM – Fun run, those who never take part in any running event took this challenge.
- 21km – For those who want to run more distance and hope they get lucky and find a beer station instead of water station during the run. Some of the initial 10km runner were lured to join this. The strategy we shared was “pay extra RM10 and you got to run additional 11km and a free finishing shirt, why not?”
- 42km – For those who want to experience more blisters in different part of their feet or perhaps more falling toe nails after events. Your core is just too hard!! (hardcore)

42km Runners
And more…
And the cheerleaders squad..
Noise and lots noises, random high 5s and some motivation and encouragement words were pumped to all miri marathon participants at the last 1km mark. No sure if they were really motivated or rather embarrassed by our loud cheers squad, some runner really pick up the run towards the finish run. Good job to the NovemberProjectMalaysia Cheers squads, despite the tiredness after the run, they still walk over to the last water station and gave the runner the last boost!
