1987 marked the
birth of the SEREMBAN HALF MARATHON in its present form. The inaugural RUN saw
over 4000 participants from far and near taking part. The LUCKY PRIZE of a
single-storey terrace house in Taman Tuanku Ja'afar donated by Naga Sakti Sdn
Bhd was definitely a crowd puller. The lucky winner was Encik Said
Harun.
At the Press
Conference held to promote the RUN, YAM Tunku Naquiyuddin sportingly accepted a
challenge to participate in the Half Marathon completed it in 2hrs and 23
minutes (well within the qualifying time) and in the process raised RM21K to
kick-start the N S Junior Athletes Trust Fund.
In 1994, the
Organisers decided that the SEREMBAN HALF MARATHON would be a FUN RUN. This
allowed the serious runners to vie for top honours but the mid-pack and tail-end
participants would still be rewarded with PEWTER MEDALS and LUCKY/MYSTERY
Prizes.
The 10th
Anniversary Run saw the creation of the VIP FUN RUN. Participants included YAM
Tunku Naquiyuddin himself and the then Menteri Besar YAB Dato Seri Utama Tan Sri
Haji Mohd Isa bin Dato Haji Abdul Samad) who emerged a easy winner. The 12th RUN in
1999 was yet another auspicious and historical event. It marked the return of
our ever-popular Ruler back to Negeri Sembilan after majestically completing his
5-year tenure as the 10th Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia. To celebrate the
auspicious occasion which also coincided with Visit Negeri Sembilan Year, the
Corporate Fun Run was created.
2002 was yet
another auspicious year for it marked the 80th Birthday of His Royal Highness
which makes HRH the oldest ruling monarch in the world today.
Popularity of the
RUN gained momentum and 3 schools in Seremban challenged each other to send the
highest number of participants for which the school would be rewarded with a
RM1,000 prize money kindly donated by Nestle Products Sdn Bhd. The number of
participants crossed the 8,000 mark. 2004 witnessed a
"Thai" invasion when 7 Thai runners collected a few of the major prizes. This
year also marked the passing over of the baton to Y B'hg Dato Zainal Abidin bin
Haji Ahmad but Tan Sri Dato Chan Choong Tak remains as the Permanent Hon.
Chairman.
