An e-poster of the BRITAIN BRUNEI RUNNING FESTIVAL 2009 event here.

I wonder if this is an anniversary event as I hadn’t heard of it previously. It was also last Saturday and in my home town where it was organized. In the same afternoon, I also had an invite to the Canada Day celebration at the Sheraton Hotel. Between wearing a suit and a rather long commute (and appearing on national TV) vs a hot sweaty and casual afternoon, I chose the latter :) More photos from the event by Gavin.

: One of a number of sponge bath volunteers

: An event for all ages, adults lead by example how they can have good, clean fun with sponges and buckets full of water on a hot sunny afternoon

: It’s one thing to be sitting duck. It’s quite another to stare squarely at the wet missiles.

: WHOA! What kid would pass up a chance to get even by punishing the adults in public? The proof is in the boy’s grin :)

: Captured this with the Canon 5DII—not exactly known for its frames per second capability but freezing the water droplets and sponge makes this picture rather interesting.

: More volunteers from the British Garrison given a sponge bath. I think it was actually enjoyable considering how hot the afternoon was.

: Easily one of the busiest aftermath pictures in this series!

At the start of the race. The leading runner ran as though he was in a 100 meters sprint. I ran to the nearest coffee shop shortly after the event!

: “A running event for all” is the slogan for the 2009 Britain Brunei Running Festival in Seria

: I think the headless composition makes a good stock photograph.

: Clearly a show stopper but what do you call someone who crosses the finishing line on his hands instead of his legs?

: Spiral pattern from a fire hose captured with high enough shutter speed if you don’t mind being sprayed on. The shower service at the finish line was provided by our local fire department
