WATCH: Runners & Fans Cheer on Akak About to Finish KL Marathon

The recently concluded Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) was probably the most anticipated event on a marathon runner’s calendar.

Whether they sprinted to the finish line or, like this kakak, took it at her own pace, everyone is a winner, whether first or last.

Give this video a watch.

With the caption, “We were not rooting for the champion, but for the very last runner to finish.” The crowd at the finish line gave her the moral push she needed as she approached her photo finish.

Netizens commenting on the video had this to say.

“Though you may be the last to finish, you are still in front of us who watched all of it from our screens.”

“I will accompany you next year. Please PM me,” said a user.

Let’s hope that more of us will take the opportunity to lead healthier lives by competing in running events like this.
