One North Run 2018
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 100KM 2018
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.
Asics Relay Singapore 2018
Asics Relay 2018
Another one of those Ekiden races well liked by Singaporeans. This year the race venue is at the Palawan Beach, Sentosa. Participants can chose to do the half marathon or full marathon distances divided among four runners. For the registration, just one of the team mates can sign up and pay for all online and there will be an invitation sent out for the rest of the participants.
Great Eastern Women Run 2018
Another hot favourite for the ladies, the Great Eastern Women Run never fail to attract large number of female participants to join annually. From goodie bag, to the race itself, the race never fail to surprise the ladies.
Berlin Marathon 2018
Berlin Marathon 2018
This is the 2nd Major so far. I balloted this race for 2 years, and last year because of the extra 1000 charity slots, I was able to join the race being a first come first serve slot. Although many people do spend a lot of money just to get a slot in the majors, for me I feel that having to win the ballot is more meaningful and also partly because going to the majors mean major spending, so whatever that can be saved should be saved.
Shape Run 2018
One of the ladies run in Singapore that is well liked by the ladies not just because it is a run dedicated to the ladies, but also the fact that the run provides one of the most bountiful goodie bags from food to ladies stuff like skincare , hair care etc.
Petaling Jaya Half Marathon
The Petaling Jaya Half Marathon is considered one of the oldest HM races in Malaysia. HM is never my interest, ever since I started with FM, HM has become more like for training. Going for overseas HM is also not that frequent, this time round, since most of the running friends are doing this, I decided to just crash. Having known that Malaysia is famous for many good runners, I thought just to go and see where I stand.
Hatyai Marathon 2018
This is my second time running this race for FM, and thank god to say I managed to squeeze into the podium again. The weather was humid and hot with heavy rain just the night before the race. Being a place that I hardly want to stay too long because I am neither a shopper nor a foodie. But Hatyai has its charms in many other ways.
Taipei Ultramarathon 2018
Taipei Ultra Marathon is a different type of marathon that goes for your maximum effort in the stipulated hours, longest best 48hours , 24 and 12. For the 12 there is a choice of day and night, and also there is also an Ekiden relay within 6 hours. Most of the participants are return runners who have taken part in last year’s relay.
