Sundown Marathon 2017

Never did a FM for a good 2 years in Singapore, got a free bib from a good friend to give me this opportunity to do the FM.  Sundown is never a good race for me, because of the sleeping hours and also it is dark and kinda boring ( especially at the East Coast Park portion).  Being one of the only 2 Full Marathons available in Singapore, Sundown Marathon gathers all the Singapore running clubs and running enthusiasts, professional or just novices.  It is definitely a Ball for all the runners in Singapore.

Twin City Marathon 2017

Having already done this marathon last year, this is just a brief update for this year’s edition.  Basically, the route has been improved to a relaxing and easier route.  There were less turnings and funny turns.  The water points were well replenished and there are also banana stations and sponge stations around.  In terms of slopes, there were not many steep ones and all were easy.  The race starts at 4 am as usual, which means it is still pretty dark at at the race start, most of the routes are brightly lit and visibility is not a problem.  Just make sure if you need to go into some dark corners for toilet, be very careful and alert of the drains as some are not covered.

Taking place on 18th December 2016 at the Helipad in Tai Po(2016 MIZUNO香港半馬拉松錦標賽)

The race is very enjoyable as the day was well and sunny.  The best part is, the location is a nice natural attraction with views of the mountain and the reservoir.  Very tranquil and nice.  This is hard to come by in the down town Hong Kong.
