    Although not as bad a the Energizer night race 2011 .... Penang Earth Day Run 2011 was quite a mess itself ... 1. Bib/T collection venue at Bandar Sunway changed to BM almost at the last minute 2. Inexperienced organizer set the 12km run start time at 7:45am, 15mins into the run, everyone was cooked by the sun, it was very hot, several runners fainted before reaching the finishing line, slow runners was cooked alive for 2 hours or more, they should have started the run at 6:30am 3. Medals, certificates, positions big mixed up, it was a big mess, again the organizers were inexperienced in handling a running event 3. They use non-biodegradable plastic mineral water bottles, 90% of the bottles was thrown away with at least 50-70% filled, who could hold & drink an entire bottle while running 12km?.... well Penang the first Green State?? We doubt ... 4. Insufficient water stations/supply, one of the water station even switched to the opposite side of the road to hide from the scorching sun, thirsty runners had to brave pass busy traffic and back for a biodegradable plastic mineral water bottle ... etc etc.
