A race that most Singaporeans anticipate and for newbie marathoners, definitely a must do. The Sundown marathon takes participants racing through the night in Singapore and till the dawn breaks the next day. Having participated it many years back, my last race was 2017. I felt that I needed to give it a break because it is really too torturing for me not to sleep 😛
Another one of those unplanned act to join this race. It was more like a celebratory stint for me and Fowler Tay, as we became friends a the Hatyai Marathon last year in May. Was trying to look for a suitable race where we did not have to go too far, more like a day trip. Then I chanced upon this race on Facebook events. The Facebook can sometimes really recommend very good activities.
Been a long time since I did the Income run. The last time I had managed a good result for it. Hoping to break a better timing for 21km, I signed up for this race. What is more important is that this year they have the Zero waste runner category, meaning you pay much much lesser but does not take the entitlement of medals, finisher tee and goodie bag.
Hafa Adai… Meaning hello in the local micronesian language in Guam. To speak the truth, I had never thought of running this marathon. The name Guam only came to my knowledge when I was studying in Japan and tons of Japanese love to go there during summer holidays, as well as holding their wedding ceremony.
It is the ninth edition for the Terry Fox Run for cancer this year. This meaningful event is organised by the Canadian International School and aims to bring Cancer awareness to the public and also to raise funds for research in Cancer treatments.
The NTURO is a biathlon activity which involves in 6 laps of swim, followed by 2km run repeated in 3 times. There are individual and relay team categories for this activity.
The first road race for the year, joining this race was a last minute decisions. The race registration was opened since September in 2018, but I did not know about this race until I got so fed up of my timing in Berlin and I began to search for races in Asia with IAAF qualification.
The Year just passed me fast without realizing that I had already done 3 marathons and 3 ultra distances. In between, some other runs and 1 triathlon.
A run that I will not miss every year in place of the Standard Chartered Marathon. I think the last time I did the Standard Chartered Singapore marathon was 2014 for the full marathon. After that I have not been very keen to do it, mostly is because it is quite expensive and the route was always the same. […]
Pong Yaeng Trail 2018
Taking place in Chiang Mai, Mae Sai region. The race base is at the famous attraction, Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens. This is about 30km from the Airport to reach. I wanted to do a 100KM myself and was thinking about the ThaiUltra Marathon, which I missed doing 2 years ago and ended up doing a walk through because of the Thai King passed away. This year unfortunately, they were also not able to organise the race due to some authority factors. In the end I was in a cross road between PYT and the trail in Nan. Thinking that I am just a newbie, I decided that PYT will be a safer choice because of its good reputation and also the elevation was not as much as Nan. Also since I had already walked through the 50km of Thai Ultra Marathon, I thought that the landscape should be the same.
