The new Malaysian ATM Candidate Race in Lenggeng in Negeri Sembilan had an interesting conclusion of its main race distance, the 50km. Three runners came together into the finish and two of these were female! Mukminah Paiman and Azzatie Intan Suraya Zamani finished the race in 8h18 together with first male Aiman Azmi. Jie Jun Chua came next four minutes later. Then it was Azri Hasmi as third male. Third step on the female podium was taken by Aliah Ismaei.

One of Malaysia’s top runners in the last two years, also the highest Malaysian point scoring runner in Season 10, Muhammad Faris, won the 30km race. Albeit in a sprint against Ahmad Asyraaf Abas. KL-based Filipino Ritzy Amor also proved her status as one of Season 10’s best points scorers by winning the female 30km.
