First time taking part in this event although it has been around in Singapore for sometime. Frankly speaking, I am just not very apt to do some kind of trail or elevation training in Singapore, not because I am damn good or what, but just that I feel there is no point cos it is never the same type of terrain compared to overseas.
Most of my friends started to get a bit more active during Phase II, reason being that going to shopping malls are becoming a chore with all the checking in and out of apps. It gets really crowded on weekends so no difference towards social distancing. Wearing a mask is also a great deterrence.
Relay For Life (RFL)is actually a global movement founded in May 1985. It has raised about $5 billion and gathered 4 million participants to take part annually, making it one of the world’s largest fundraisers. In Singapore, this relay is organised by the Singapore Cancer Society, it helps to celebrate those who survived from Cancer, remember those whom we lost to cancer and at the same time help to raise some funds for the society.
Was not supposed to do this race this year, but it was cancelled last year and the postpone reason was not sure. As such all participants were deferred to this year, the race was on Sunday 19 Jan 2020.
The ultras are never a “chop chop” business, but that is also the beauty of it, taking time to plan, to prepare, to arrive, to soak in the atmosphere and to run the race. Whether completing it or not, the experience itself, is something that money cannot buy.
Held yearly around September in the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. This race is quite a sort after race for Malaysians and regional runners.
Another fruitful year with the POSB Kids run, proceeds from the run actually contributes to the POSH PAssion Kids Fund. POSB PAssion Kids Fund supports children in the community through different causes through sports and other activities.
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.
Melaka Marathon is held in the Heritage state of Malacca in Malaysia. In 2008, Malacca was listed as the UNESCO world heritage site for its long history and architectural buildings.
So last year I did this, and I reflected, I cannot always be a joke just do things for the sake of doing. Usually my bike leg is the greatest joke of all as I always rent the mountain bike from S lite company to do the race ( no road bikes for loan for me because of height issues).
