This letter is from Mr Kor Hong Fatt. I share this with
you, to recognize him for his achievement, as well as those who support masters-level athletes.
'Many thanks to Kannan and
the Organizing Committee for the Trophy Award! I was the only entrant and finisher in the 3,000m run in
the 80-84 category of the 33rd Annual Masters Athletics 2012 with a time of
18:32:39 (subject to race officials' verification).
When the announcer called out my name as a recipient
of the Trophy Award, I was extremely surprised. I never would have dreamed of
receiving this prize at such an advanced age. It is truly encouraging and it has
motivated me to commit more in Track and Field competitive events in the coming
years.
This was my first attempt at running in a T&F
competitive event and also the very first time in my entire 80 years of life, that I have ever received a trophy. Recently, I had an email interview with the Run Society
entitled 'Never Stop Pushing the Limit' which has received an overwhelming
response and support from the browsers since it went online on 2nd July 2012
and is still continuously receiving Likes and Comments on Facebook.
I received the highest number of votes of 324 Likes among
the interviewers interviewed by the Run Society.
For Your Information, please visit www.runsociety.com and
search for "Interviews Category" and scroll down to 'An Interview
with Kor Hong Fatt' - You will know why I started running at a relatively age
of 71.
Dear Runners and friends, I need continuous Likes and

Warm Regards,
Kor Hong Fatt'
