On 3rd June 2001, Penang hosted the International Bridge run with 3 different events, i.e. full marathon, half marathon and quarter marathon.
The Penang YMCA Amateur Radio Club (YARC) was invited to give a helping hand to the St. John Ambulance by providing communication along the circuit and also in the Medical Base station.
The run started at 4.00am and ended at around 10.00am.
There were more than 20 hams from Penang, involved in this event and has shown how amateur radio provides services to the public even when there is no calamities. Lets give them a big applause!
