PETALING JAYA: “One minute I was running, the next I was on the roof of a car,” said Ahmad Hadafi Jus, one of the three runners injured in the Klang City International Marathon 2017. Another participant, Barley Wong, said he had serious concerns for his safety as he ran in the marathon. Wong said the first thing that struck him was that there were only a few cones separating the runners’ lanes from oncoming traffic. She said she noticed that cars drove into the runners’ lanes because of the spacing of the cones. “Runners had to cross (roads) on their own, and we had to watch out for speeding vehicles,” she added.
