KUALA LUMPUR: When it comes to patriotism, there is “no marathon too far” for developer Jason Yam (pic). At the recent Gold Coast marathon in Queensland, considered the pinnacle of Australia’s road running events, Yam was among 363 Malaysians who took part. It was there that he came face to face with his idol, Japanese runner Yuki Kawauchi, who had earlier won the notoriously difficult Boston Marathon in relentless rain and punishing headwinds. “It is a well-organised marathon run along the scenic foothills of the mountain. “I would like to see more Malaysians running and finishing marathons,” he added.
