Kelab Roadrunners Ipoh (KRI) held their annual Ang Pow Run on the morning of the 11th day of the Lunar New Year on February 13. Close to 200 runners turned up bright and chirpy for the run despite attending the heavy dinner held the night before. According to KRI President, Chong Him Shoong, the Ang Pow Run was only started five years ago despite the club being over 20 years old.
The Ang Pow Run was a social event which was participated by whole families. Held around the vicinity of Ipoh International School, it covered a distance of 2km whereby runners were handed an ang pow as they crossed the finish line. There was no time limit to finish the race. A refreshing breakfast awaited the runners which included warm red bean dessert. The committee members too raised their chopsticks to ‘loh sang’ during the breakfast.The club is strictly a sports club and besides organising runs also organises the annual Century Ride, a bicycle road race that attracts contestants from throughout the country
