Ro Yong's combined time was 14:44 while Rahmad settled for the second spot on 15:08 followed by Gamal Arif Fikri (16:01). RWAM deputy president Khoo Chong Beng, a former international and IAAF walks judge, said the circuit was a success and was a platform for budding walkers to gauge their progress. "We are happy with the participation of these young walkers. With this competition, we would be able to correct their techniques and also guide them on their shortcomings. We hope to see more participants next year,'' said Chong Beng. The circuit which catered for the boys and girls Under-12, Under-15 and Under-18 , was organised by the RWAM with support from Milo. To encourage the seniors, the RWAM had also included a men and women's category. The men's category covered a distance of 10,000m while it was 3,000m for the women.
