As usual, browsing through the events on Facebook and came across this race. Was actually looking for drinking events then end up signing for a trail race. What attracted me to this place was that I had been to Kota Tinggi when I was young and wanted to go back again. Another thing is that I was quite sure that there will not be many Singaporeans in this race. […]
Time flies and Shape run is back again. Last year I ran by myself for this one. But this year, I had decided to run with Running Hour. An all ladies run, this run is one of the highlights for ladies in Singapore.

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.
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.
First time came here in 2016, when I was back here for a marathon in San zhi , Taipei, as usual in the winter cold. Dazzling is a studio ran by very professional teachers and I must say the students are no joke either, though the studio is small and sometimes the number of students are few, many of them are quite advanced level themselves.
