Making its debut in Sentosa last year, the PUMA Night Run is back again this year at Marina Barrage. Runners were blessed with a good weather of low PSI-82 today and brought their full enthusiasm to the race. Local celebrities and performers were also invited to participate in the race, which helped boost the morale of many runners who were also fans. While the event began with a high energy level among the runners and supporters, it also ended on a high note with photobooth taking and performances for everyone.
Race Day: Commando Challenge 2015
The Commando Challenge 2015 was held today from 9am at Sentosa. Besides the previous favourites Electric Shock and Ice Crawl, this year’s trail race has 4 new obstacles: The A-Frame Slide, Torture Crawl, two Over-Under obstacles and the Spider Web. While the challenging obstacles were a test to the participants’ all round fitness and determination, the enthusiastic participants were true commandos as they displayed teamwork and sportsmanship to complete the race together.

Top 5 Reasons Singaporeans Love to Run In Kota Kinabalu
Are you bogged down by work and commitments, unable to take a break for a holiday trip? Why not consider a short getaway to Kota Kinabalu? Home to the highest mountain in the Malay Archipelago, Kota Kinabalu has much more to offer as a destination beyond the heights of its mountains. Kota Kinabalu is a ‘Nature Resort City’ with long sandy beaches, paradise islands, virgin coral reefs, tropical rain forests; with the mighty Mount Kinabalu only 90 minutes away from the city. Here are the top 5 reasons for why us Singaporeans love (or are going to love) to run in Kota Kinabalu:
Travel made easy
With only a 2.5 hours flight, flying in to Kota Kinabalu is a breeze. Arrive at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport Terminal, hop onto a taxi and you’ll be in the city centre within 15 minutes. You will also be surprised at how accessible it is to travel within the city itself; in fact, most destinations in the city are within walking distance. This makes Kota Kinabalu ideal for a short holiday trip as you get to make full use of your time visiting the various destinations. Or even better, you can plan a running route to visit and admire the various places of interests around the city such as the Kota Kinabalu City Mosque or Atkinson Clock Tower.
For flights, both Silkair and Air Asia fly direct from Singapore to Kota Kinabalu daily with a total of 14 flights per week. You may head over to www.silkair.com and www.airasia.com for more information.
Nice and cozy at any price
There is a wide variety of accommodations in Kota Kinabalu, with a wide price range for you to choose from. While there are the two luxury 5-star hotels – the Shangri-la’s Tanjung Aru Resort & Spa and Sutera Harbour Resort – which are within 10 minutes drive from the airport and in the city centre, you also have your pick of B&Bs, motels and hotels to suit any budget. Travelling with a large group? It is not a problem either; there are service apartments with huge living room space to bunk in the whole troop.
For a cosier and more intimate stay, the Shangri-la’s Rasa Ria Resort & Spa and Nexus Resort & Spa Karambunai are great options for accommodation too. For runners who are thinking of participating in a race in Kota Kinabalu, why not put this into your itinerary and reward yourself with a post-event treat with some serious pampering and relaxation.
Power up your appetite
The city streets are a haven for foodies with local specialties to make your carbo loading experience truly delectable. As a state with 30 different ethnic groups, Kota Kinabalu has a unique cultural mix of people and cuisines. You can expect to find plenty mouth-watering delights such as ngiu chap (beef noodle), bak kut teh (pork ribs in herbal soup), spicy laksa, Sabah-styled tom yam, Tuaran noodles (home-made egg noodles), sizzling satay, and even glorious seafood. The western and fusion fare at trendy cafes and franchise eateries are not to be missed too. You will be surrounded by so much good food in the city you may have to run more to burn off those extra calories!
Warm up workouts
As the big race approaches, you might want to go for a short run to limber up those muscles. Here is a list of the city’s most popular tracks for a quick run:
- Likas Bay running and cycling path stretching about 5km from the port to Tun Mustapha Tower with excellent sea views and evening sunsets.
- Perdana Park and the beach at Tanjung Aru are great for soft-surface track and beachfront running. Evening runs are best for the spectacular Tanjung Aru sunset.
- Tun Fuad Stephens Park or more popularly known as Bukit Padang has short hill trails which are perfect for trail runners to get in a bit of off-road action before the real race.
The Big Events
Trail running in KK has a growing community, and some must-do races which will challenge you physically and mentally. The incredible landscapes and warm hospitality of the locals are what I love about racing in KK.” – Jeri Chua, super serious ultra trail runner and member of the Hammer Nutrition Singapore team
Kota Kinabalu is a waterfront city with fantastic views of the sea, sunsets and islands. And just at its doorstep is the Crocker Range providing plenty of rolling hills, ridges, valleys, and rivers to keep you on your toes as you traipse through its untamed wilderness. It is therefore no surprise Kota Kinabalu has its own share of major running events that should not be missed:
- Beaufort 60k Ultra Marathon – A super hot run from Beaufort to the beautiful beach of Kuala Penyu. Beaufort is about 1.5 hours south of the city in the Klias floodplain where the midday heat can go up to 40°C. You’ll be bouncing off the track like a cat on a hot tin roof before getting a chance to cool off your feet with a dip in the ocean at the end of the race.
- Borneo International Marathon – This is the city’s biggest annual road race that starts and ends at the Likas Sports Stadium. The route heads north of the city along the scenic coastal road, passing by Likas City Mosque, Tun Mustapha Tower and Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Look out for Mt Kinabalu as it comes into view at sunrise alongside the gorgeous sea views.
- The Most Beautiful Thing (TMBT) Ultra Trail Marathon – Distances range from 12km to 100km, offering opportunities for both novices and seasoned runners to experience the adventure and excitement of trail running. The terrain varies from easy to extremely challenging with steep climbs and descents, punctuated by scenic sections of farmland, rustic villages and curious villagers going about their daily routine. This is perhaps the most difficult yet most beautiful ultra run in Malaysia.
Come and Run Sabah!
The popularity of road and trail races in Kota Kinabalu has seen the introduction of new events in various districts in Sabah. From the rocking hills of Kokol to the lush paddy fields of Tambunan, running events are getting more interesting with different backdrops to add colour, culture and nature to a run.
Located only within 1-2 hours from the city, not only are the race venues easy to get to, most importantly they offer us runners the opportunity to experience the best of Sabah’s natural landscapes and warm hospitality of its people.
Stay tuned for the latest event updates to make 2016 your year to Run Sabah!
Having run every edition of the Borneo International Marathon since 2008, I have come to realise that KK has so many shorter fun runs to offer as well. The warm reception at races so unmistakably reflects the friendliness of Sabahans. Runners are so friendly and fun, and it’s such a pleasant recharge for me! My friends who have run the trails in KK, tell me that its paradise, but for me, I shall stick to the road runs that give me enough time to eat and shop ….and plan my return trip to KK.” – Mohanadas Kandiah or more popularly known as Mohan Marathon, the man with the whistle!
Ups & Downs of Haze For Runners
This year 2015 we saw one of the worst cases of haze in the Southeast Asia region. PSI levels rose to a record high level of 341, schools were closed, events were cancelled and Singaporeans were recommended to stay indoors most of the time. Even though things are turning for the better now, we hope that the haze will stay away from Singapore for good. Below is an infographic summarising what haze has been like for us runners the past few months:
Quick links:
Which New Challenge Will You Take Up?
You’re a runner, you love to run. You know your fartleks from your tempos, you’ve memorised your VO2 Max and you can recite your PBs for all distances from the 100m sprint to the marathon. You are more likely to recall your first race than your parents’ wedding anniversary.
In short, you eat, sleep, and breathe running.
Yet, sometimes, it feels like running is not quite cutting it anymore. You don’t wish to give up running, but you’re ready for something else. Something to add on to your running: a new challenge.
Aquathlon or Modern Biathlon: Run Swim Run
An aquathlon – or aquathon in the USA – is an offshoot of the triathlon, where the use of the term “aquathlon” is governed by the International Triathlon Union (ITU). A biathle, also known as the modern biathlon, is an off-shoot of the modern day pentathlon and although not recognized as an Olympic sport, it has its own annual World Championships.
The races generally present either as a two-stage continuous event of swimming and running, or a three-stage run-swim-run race format. The standards of distances for aquathlons and biathles may sometimes vary depending on the temperatures of the water.
While winter variations of the sports may include indoor swimming, the swimming leg is often conducted in open waters and you will have to swim in lakes and oceans. Due to the challenges in outdoor elements, it is recommended that you are a confident swimmer to take part in this.
Duathlon: Run Bike Run
Prefer staying on dry land? Why not try a duathlon? Cycling is a complementary sport to running, and this is the favourite option for many runners who are transitioning into multi-disciplinary sports. In fact, cycling is arguably the best cross-training exercise for us runners as it strengthens our outer hips and quadriceps.
This is a run-bike-run race that is also an offshoot of the triathlon governed by the ITU. Distances may vary among different event organisers. The world’s premier duathlon is the Powerman Zofingen, held annually in Switzerland, and features a hilly 10km run, 150km of mountain biking, finishing with 30km of hilly trail running.
For runners who love to have a little bit of adventure in their running, there is an emerging trend in duathlons known as the “Dirty Du”. “Dirty Du” has exciting race routes, which often includes running off-roads or on trails and mountain biking before finishing with another trail or off-road run.
Triathlon: Swim Bike Run
If you have are confident with open water swimming, no issues with cycling and still love running, why not try a triathlon? The race tests your ability in all three endurance sports, and your transitions from swimming to biking (T1) and biking to running (T2) are also timed.
The three main distances, as outlined by the ITU, are the Sprint Distance (also known as the Olympic Distance), the Long Course, and the Ultra Distance. You may already be familiar with the Ultra Distance of the triathlon via the IronMan. The race involves a 3.8km swim component, 180.2km cycling, and finishes with a full marathon (42.2km).
Developing as an athlete means branching out from the usual marathons, trails, or even ultramarathons. Which of these options will be your next challenge to become a stronger athlete?

Conquer flat feet fumbles!
Flat feet, also known as fallen arches, is a physical condition where the foot does not have a normal arched shape when one is standing. It can be commonly found in children during their early childhood stages and in adults during their normal ageing process or prolonged pressure on the foot. Before you jump onto the conclusion that being flat footed equates to an end to your running dreams, read on to find out why you can run fast, free and happy like everyone else!
Flat Feet Facts
Your fellow flat feet friends suffer from zero excessive pain or discomfort but there is an apparent lack of flexibility and shock-absorption of the feet, which result in higher risks to injuries. Back problems, shin splints and overpronation are just some of the many side effects from having feet with reduced flexibility and protection. As such, flat foot runners experience more challenges in attaining optimal performances.
However, this should not stop you or your fellow flat foot pals from pursuing your goals because there are many self-help and painless ways to cope with the inconveniences your feet bring, besides going through corrective medical treatment.
Wear running shoes with Balance, Cushion and Secure-fit
Balance, shoes that contain stretchable and flexible material such as mesh, foam and gel are highly recommended. These material serve to adapt to the shape of your foot and can better prevent your foot from feeling rigid or uncomfortable when you run.
Cushioning is most evident in shoes that contain extra-padding where shock-absorption from pressure place on the foot can take place more efficiently compared to the average running shoes.
Shoes that enable your foot and shoe move together as one results in secure-fitting. Also, note that over-lacing of your running shoes can injure the nerves of your feet. The loop-lacing lock has been recommended by many as the most secure-fit lacing method for most running shoes.
Run safe and right
Since flat feet runners already experience more pressure on their feet compared to non-flat footers, it is advisable to choose routes that have fewer road obstacles such as rocky paths and concrete pavements. The treadmill machine would be a viable option for resistance running, running tracks in campuses or sports centers are great for running as well. As such, by reducing the risks of injuries or over-exhaustion of feet from running, you can run at ease and possibly achieve greater personal bests.
Also, it is recommended for flat footers to maintain an upright running posture to keep a balance while running so as to avoid placing excessive pressure on your feet from leaning forward to cope with your stride.
Stretch Your Feet!
Many runners often underestimate this simple yet important routine and simply stop after they have cooled down. Especially for flat footers, stretching of the arches of your feet besides the hamstrings and quadriceps is essential in maintaining the flexibility of your feet. It would ease the pressure and stress your feet experienced during the run and reduce post-run discomfort, which will likely affect your subsequent runs.
Keeping these suggestions in mind, no one should be excluded from the joy and excitement derived from running, regardless of the shape of your feet you have.

OCC 3 Ten Run Clinic 2015 – A day at Orchid Country Club
On the Monday evening of 12 October 2015, we headed down to Orchid Country Club with some runners to have a preview of running at the golf course. Led by JRL Academy’s Head Coach Lexxus Tan, we cruised through the golf course, enjoying the breeze as we admire the beautiful scenery at the golf course. The run clinic ended off successfully with an active discussion about running over some 100Plus isotonic drinks.
We are looking forward to the OCC 3 Ten Run on 19th December 2015. Hope to see you there!
[MesaStila Challenge 21km Trail] Travel, Relax and Race – Day 3
Waking up rejuvenised for race day, runners for the 21km/13km events were ferried to the start point at Ambarawa Railway Museum, located about 30 minutes bus ride from the resort. Runners were to start at the railway station, running along the heritage railway for most part of the course and passing through coffee plantations, rice padi fields and villages. The most gruelling part of the route was the 1st 9km as one needed to run on the uphill railway track. Weather was pretty cooling in the morning but it got very hot into the race. Fortunately, water stations were adequately placed along the route.
Runners then had to run through coffee plantations which were relatively flat, before scaling the gradual up-slopes across the rice padi fields. It was then a roller coaster run through the villages with very steep up and down slopes. Eventually, I finished the 21km race behind an Indonesian and 2 Caucasians, just shy of getting into the top 3 positions. The plaques for the top 3 winners of each category were in the shape of coffee beans as MesaStila Hotel & Resort Magelang is actually famous for its 11 hectare coffee plantation.
Overall, it was a pleasant 1st-time experience at an overseas trail run. From what I know, the longer distances events will consist of much more scenic routes as compared to the 21km event.
For those who are into ultra-trail races series, you may also want to note that the 100km and 65km events at the MesaStila Challenge & Ultra are qualified for the Asia Trail Master points while the 100km, 65km and 42km events qualify for The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® points.

[MesaStila Challenge 21km Trail] Travel, Relax and Race – Day 2
The 2nd day of the 3D2N travel and run trip was spent doing an easy run, exploring the resort while checking out the activities available. There is a 4.8km designated route around the resort for guests to walk/run. The route brought me through the rustic villages. I also saw a group of school kids running (some of them without shoes!) very fast.
After the morning workout, there are plenty of facilities and activities available for the resort guests to spend the day on. First thing we did was to fill our stomachs. The breakfast area is nicely set up with traditional Javanese feel and located by the infinity pool. Variety of food served was also sufficient to satisfy any guest.
We then went for a coffee plantation tour led by one of the friendly staff, after a warm shower. The staff was very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. It was an informational tour around the plantations which ended with some coffee and tea tasting.
The exploration around the resort continued as we checked out the “Jungle Gym”. As the name suggests, it is a place where we can workout, the primitive way.
After some gym session, it is then time for some relaxation for the body and the soul at the massage spa.
Finally, to end off the day, I spent some time at the day bed surfing the internet, chilling at the lounge where we had afternoon tea and enjoyed the sunset. It was a great day getting myself physically and mentally prepared for the race the next day.

[MesaStila Challenge 21km Trail] Travel, Relax and Race – Day 1
MesaStila Hotel & Resort Magelang is located in Central Java, Indonesia, which is only 3.5 hours’ away from Singapore (2 hours direct flight to Semarang Airport + 1.5 hours land transfer). Before my departure, everyone was worried that the haze condition will be bad. However, Java is actually located to the South of Sumatra where all the forest fires are and the wind had been blowing northwards. Instead, I was greeted with fresh air, friendly staff from reception to housekeeping and the very well maintained resort amidst the lush greenery. The resort apartment which we stayed in could house up to 4 persons with a basement level, attached toilets and bathtubs at each floor. There is also a small private garden for each apartment.
As the sun set at about 5.30pm, we did not have the time to explore much of the resort. We proceeded for dinner at the Java Red Restaurant situated within the resort where they served nice Indonesian cuisine. As we wanted to witness the flag-off of the 100km race the next morning, we rested soon after dinner on the very comfortable bed!

Coney Island Park: The Newest Nature Running Destination
Singapore has a new running destination – the Coney Island Park – which is now made open to public for recreational use. Once known as Pulau Serangoon, The park was bought over by an Indian businessman with the intentions to turn the island into a resort. Luckily for us runners, plans never fell through and the park has been left the way it was since 50 years ago, now redeveloped as a park connector from Punggol to Pasir Ris.
Race in Coney Island
Coney Island is part of The Performance Series route, a race which takes place on 1st May 2016. Click here to visit the official site of the event for more information!
Run & cycle at the Coney Island Park
Instead of your usual running route around the Punggol area, you can now make a detour to the Coney Island Park which its rustic charms and nature environment make a unique and interesting running route for runners. You can access the park easily via the two bridges on its western and eastern ends to Punggol Promenade and Pasir Ris Coast Industrial Park 6. Enjoy the green scenery along the 2.4 km-long park connector route, or you can also go for a different terrain along the 2 km-long beach. But you have to be careful of the sandflies; do wear long bottoms and covered shoes if you are heading to the beach!
Get intimate with nature
The island’s original lush vegetation has been preserved by intentionally leaving the beaches uncleared and allowing greenery to grow in its natural environment. Adding on to the rustic vibes of the island, there is also no electricity or piped water on the island. There is, however, solar power to generate electricity for toilet pumps, while rainwater is harvested to use for flushing and hand washing. As a result, the island is able to retain its original natural habitat and we get to enjoy and experience the pure beauty of flora and fauna on the island.
Run and spot the cow!
As you bask yourself in the island’s wide biodiversity, try your luck at looking out for nationally threatened species such as the spotted wood owl and rusty-breasted cuckoo. If you are lucky enough, you may even get to see the single Brahman bull that has made the island its home. The presence of the cow appears to be a mystery as many has tried looking for it, but to no avail. Do note that it is strictly prohibited to feed the cow, try to keep your cool while running and not provoke the cow.
Race Review: Educity Sundown Malaysia 2015 (by ‘Dropthepoptart’)
Finally, a HM in Johor state..
Educity Sundown Malaysia returns in its second edition following its successful debut last year. Being adventurous as usual (I’ve never run a race in Johor state despite its’ close proximity to SG), I decided to take part in this years’ edition – given the chance that I could strike off Johor on my to-run-Malaysian-states-list (I’ll explain more later) . There were only 2 categories in the Malaysian edition – 21.1km and 12km. Unlike its sister edition, the flag-off timings were more convenient at 8pm and 8:30pm for the 21.1km and 12km respectively.
Getting there…
The race was held at Educity Sports Complex, situated about 5km away from LEGOLAND in Johor Bahru, with both categories following out the Nusajaya Highway. Getting to Nusajaya can be a nightmare if you do not have a personal transport as public transport service to LEGOLAND and Educity Sports Complex is limited. Even if you do have your own transport, parking spaces are limited.
However, this year saw the kind organizers providing shuttle buses (two-way trip) for Singaporeans wanting to venture over the border to experience the Malaysian race scene. I was told that the shuttle slot bus were fully booked. The pick-up point was Jurong-East Station and despite hiccups – things went smoothly eventually.
Upon arrival to Mall of Medini, I quickly collected my racepack (REPC timing was officially extended for those outstation local M’sian and foreigner runners like me) and took a 10-min two-way shuttle bus from LEGOLAND carpark to the starting point.
Race experience
There were sufficient amenities at the race venue – baggage deposits, plenty of portable loos and various food stalls/trucks for those wanting to grab a quick bite and ‘last-minute’ carbo-load.
At the starting pen, we (participants) were greeted with thunderous, energetic and rhythmic percussion performance before being flagged off. As the starting airhorn blew and runners started to surge forward , we were again treated with wonderful displays of fireworks.
Like most Malaysian highways that I’ve ran, Nusajaya highway was wide and generally flat ( a good chance for those wanting to hit PB). Of course, there were (minor) elevation along some parts. Being a night race, some sceneries were barely visible and unremarkable. That however, does not mean that the energetic and cheerful volunteers were stingy in showering participants with words of encouragement and hi-fives. Volunteers did a great job at their respective water station, drinks were aplenty and at some stations, watermelons, gels and bananas were given out. There were also various multi-ethic performances along the way.
Majestic view
Being a HM participant means you get to run through and witness the majestic night view of Dataran Mahkota (administrative center of Kota Iskandar) around 8-9km mark. Runners were treated with the scenic panoramic view of one of the iconic landmarks of Johor.
(No photos of Dataran Mahkota as I always run ‘naked’ – meaning I don’t wear or bring along fancy gadgets. Personally, I find it unnecessary and subtracts the fun part of running. All EVENT photos here were from the Official Sundown Malaysia Facebook Page)
Post – Race.
At the finish line, participants who crossed the line within the cut-off time were handed out finisher medals (HM participants were also handed small coupon to be exchange in order to receive their finisher tees at the stadium ticketing booth.
I didn’t hang out that the race village for long as I had to rush back to LEGOLAND (via the shuttle bus) to board up the bus back to SG.
Overall Experience
Pros
- Water stations were well-manned and well placed (at every 3km). No complaints of running out of drinks.
- Cheerful and encouraging volunteers
- Wide running route – no bottlenecks.
- Getting to run and experience the majestic view of Dataran Mahkota
- Smooth collection of finisher items
- 2-way shuttle from LEGOLAND to race venue. This means runners do not have to walk additional miles.
- Shuttle service to/from Singapore. Great initiative as it allows those without personal transport to experience the running scene in Malaysia.
- Reasonable flag-off time.
- REPC extended to cater to SG runners coming via the SG shuttle bus.
Cons
- There were public driver who were unaware of the road closures -causing traffic delays around certain section of the route. Organizers should advise drivers on alternative routes to take.
- Facebook Media page should have been well-managed. Inquiries from participants (especially on the SG shuttle bus issues and delayed REPC) went unreplied
- Long lines @ baggage deposit (post-race).
- SG shuttle bus delayed departure times.
Given how everything went smoothly (even though there were minor hiccups). I’ve got to say that I am impressed with organizers for setting the benchmark for Malaysian races. I hope to see more Singaporeans taking part in the next edition.
(This is my 3rd HM and first night race in Malaysia. )
And finally, Johor is off my list.
I’m on a mission to run at least one race in each states and federal territories of Malaysia. So far – 4 down(shown colored).I did 3 states in 2015. Next up? Alor Setar HM 2016 in Kedah and hopefully – Borneo Marathon in Sabah.
Stay tune in my #runMalaysia adventures.
Race Day: CCK B.I.G. Farm Walk & Run 2015 – A day out in the countryside

Race Day: Ground Zero – Run For Humanity 2015
Singapore’s first charity run bearing a humanitarian theme.
Timed to be held in conjunction with World Food Day, Ground Zero – Run For Humanity 2015 was held today in East Coast Park, Singapore. The 10km Race Against Time challenged participants to complete 10km within 80 mins while the 5km Relief Aid Challenge portrayed a survivor’s journey to obtain urgent supplies.
Mercy Relief provides survivors with emergency supplies weighing between 5kg to 10kg. To get these relief packs, survivors living in remote areas may have to walk several hours to and from the relief distribution point. Similarly, participants in the second category had to carry a relief pack of equal weight for 5km. These relief packs where then distributed to low income families in Singapore to mark Mercy Relief’s observance of World Food Day.
