Uncle,
First off, you don't ask me WHY I run. You ask me DO I run. Endurance is so not me, I guess :(
Anyway, nice post this. At Kelantan, I am not very sure if we do have this kind of annual event. But if I was right, there was one in 2004...and again, I was not participating!
We share a same interest eh? Taking picture of people taking picture.
