Marathon runners have started flooding Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin's Facebook page after he announced that the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2015 (SCKLM) would be moved from Oct 4 to Oct 10.

This, Khairy said, would help to bolster the National Sports Day, which is aiming to get at least three million Malaysians involved on that day.

Some 35,000 participants have registered for the marathon, which Khairy noted would help boost the numbers for the National Sports Day.
