Due to the overwhelming number of participants and concerns for overall safety, the organiser of the HSBC Walk Run Cycle (WRC) has announced that the 40km cycling route has been reduced to 30km. Aside from that, all other categories, 11.5km, 6km and 2km route will remain unchanged.

To mitigate the shortage of parking spaces around Bandar, HSBC will be providing free shuttle bus services to Taman Hj Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien (SOAS) from Stadium Negara Hassanal Bolkiah. The shuttle bus services will be made available starting from 5.00pm to 7.00pm. Return trips back to the car park at Stadium Negara Hassanal Bolkiah will be available after 10.00pm.

For safety reassurance of all WRC participants on the event day, road closures will begin at 6.00pm along: Jalan Sultan, Jalan Elizabeth Dua, Jalan Pemancha, and Jalan Pretty. Partial road closures will also be anticipated along the allocated routes of the Walk-Run-Cycle starting from 8.30pm to 10.30pm.

Participants are reminded to wear their bib or have them handy. To prevent overcrowding condition, the organiser may deny entry into the Taman if bibs are not sighted. And to ensure a smooth flow of the event, participants are encouraged to proceed to the respective zones according to their participating category upon entry into the Taman.

The charity event, which is held for the first time in the evening, will kick start at 8.00pm and flag off will be at 8.30pm sharp at the Taman Hj Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien (SOAS) on Saturday, 19 May 2012.

This could be a challenge for those who didn’t bring their bibs to the event. No bibs, no entry to the field due to security reasons.

So this is very important that needed to be addressed should you are a participant but you didn’t bring your bib.. Hence, the organiser has no choice but not allow the participant to enter the Taman field. There will be a designated area for those participants (refer to map) and the field will only open to public right after the all the participants with bibs have cleared the field which is roughly around 9pm tonight.

So I do hope the public can cooperate on this matter and having 1/35 of Brunei’s population in one area could be very tricky situation to handle. This reminds me of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy crowd where 1/30 of the population was at the National Stadium. Tonight will be another humongous crowd and let’s hope for the best..

I will be joining the 11.5 km run and I’m quite anxious as I can’t wait to jog *lol*

This is my route tonight. Wish me luck!!
