Kuala Lumpur police chief commissioner Datuk Seri Mazlan Lazim said around 400 police officers together with DBKL personnel will be on duty to ensure smooth traffic and maintain safety. “There will be around 38,000 people including participants present during the event, and we advise those looking to get into the city to plan their routes properly, utilise public transport, and adhere to police instructions,” he said.
SCKLM participants getting into the city can take public transport, which will operate from 2am on Sunday morning. For everyone else, it’s best to avoid the city centre this Sunday, or take the trains if you must. Runners, good luck and may you achieve your PB!
