Marathon Series - Two 42kms (Ocean Island & RJM)

Marathon Series came out with a unique combo 42kms that comes with a superb medal that looks like a ying-yang logo. There's the inaugural Island Ocean @ Langkawi in April and then the popular River Jungle Marathon (RJM) @ Hulu Langat.

I can't make it to the April's Langkawi, so will just settle for the RJM (1st Sep), most likely my 1st 42km after coming home from AZ. So there'll be Sep's RJM, followed by Oct's PNM :)

Here's the details from their home page:
