One big party at KL Rat Race 2011

It was one big party for race participants and supporters of The Edge-Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Rat Race 2011 on Sept 20, 2011.

The open space and  car park in front of Bursa Malaysia were transformed into carnival playgrounds filled with booths and side activities for everyone to let their hair down and have a little fun for the day away from the office or workplace.

The charity run kicked off from the grounds of Bursa Malaysia at 5.00 pm, the after-office rush hour, with participants running through the busy streets of Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Ampang and back.

For many of those who could not make it there, here’s a peek at what’s on show.
