More than 34,000 runners converged to take part in #KLSCM2022. The 12th edition of KLSCM made a triumphant return after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The event saw the Full Marathon course record smashed by Moses Kiptoo Kurgat from Kenya in a time of 2:11:04, breaking the previous mark by more than three minutes. The Full Marathon Women’s Open was won by Shelmith Nyawira Muriuki in a time of 2:44:16. Both Kenyans took home USD17,500 each. The Full Marathon Malaysian Men’s category was a keenly contested affair as returning KLSCM champion Muhaizar Mohamad and young upstart Poo Vasanthan went neck and neck for most of the race. Poo raced into a lead towards the end to bag his first KLSCM Full Marathon Malaysian Men’s title. Poo finished in a time of 2:37:56 while Muhaizar finished in 2:38:13. The Full Marathon Malaysian Women’s category saw Noor Amelia Binti Musa win her maiden KLSCM Full Marathon in a time of 3:13:59.
