The Dhaka Triathlon Club hosted a first annual Halloween 5K. Dhaka runners were encouraged to come and run 3.1 on the 31st! We had a nice size group of runners and even a few walkers (canine and human!). The race was hosted by Re-Fit gym and owner Gary located in Gulshan-2. Pre-registration was done via email and race registration was done beginnning at 4PM. Not too many cars at this race, so it was evident the race location was a convienent one as many participants decided to either run or walk to the start from home.
Because this was a Halloween race, runners were encouraged to wear costumes and a prize was awarded to the best costume! DTC founders and race organizers, Robin and Dave dressed up as King Tut and Cleopatra for the festivities. Dave made a quick wardrobe change as he was also the course marshal and led the lead pack out on his bike. Dave explained the 3.1 mile loop course contained entirely in Gulshan-2. His bright yellow Tour jersey was a welcome sight for runners as they wound their way through the streets of Dhaka.
Cleopatra (aka Robin) was the official timer and started the runners with a 3-2-1-GO!
