The walk for rice event is conceptualised by the SouthWest CDC and supported by NTUC to help raise rice, a staple for needy families in the South West CDC. For every 200m walked, one bowl of rice will be donated to the needy.
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.
Actually this took place before the Great Eastern Women Run. Only managed to get the photos done up recently.
Swim for Hope is an annual activity to raise funds for the beneficiaries through swimming laps in the pool. Every lap swam is contributed to the funds beneficiaries such as APSN, Singapore Children’s Society and also the SAF care fund. Participants will pick one of the slots in the respective SAFRA Club House and swim as many laps as possible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Ultra Marathon is a different type of marathon that goes for your maximum effort in the stipulated hours, longest best 48hours , 24 and 12.
