KUALA TERENGGANU: The Sultan Mahmud Bridge will come ‘alive’ at midnight today (Friday) when some 50,000 people take part in an international run. The annual ‘Sultan Mahmud Bridge International Run’, dubbed as the ‘Vacay-Run’ will break from tradition from its usual early morning start. Instead, the ‘Vacay-Run’ will begin at midnight today from Dataran Batu Burok, pass through the bridge, and end at the same venue at 10am tomorrow (Saturday). The run, offering a total prize money of RM204,000, will have a full- marathon 42km international Open and national run for both men and women. The 7km long Sultan Mahmud bridge, constructed in 1988, was opened by the then Terengganu ruler, the late Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah on March 11, 1990.
