The Pisang Relay held at Taman Rekreasi Bukit Jalil on May 12, 2013 is a fun-themed event, where competition is not the primary objective.

It’s a great opportunity to make friends,  strengthen friendship, build stronger family and community  bonds amongst the folks of staying at Bukit Jalil and Klang Valley.

More than 300 runners consisting of people of all  race, age and gender took part in the relay which consists of teams of 4.

Each runner takes turn to complete the 2.7 kilometre course around the picturesque Bukit Jalil Lake.

Each runner will have to run two non consecutive laps.

The registration fees is a nominal RM135 per team and all runners are provided with a medal and light refreshments throughout the morning.

The Pisang Relay organisers have also put into practice some Green concepts like runners marking their paper cups for re-use the whole morning.
