The month of June was a huge and important month for the Singapore sports community as our nation hosted the 28th SEA Games 2015. Our national athletes have done us proud in displaying excellent sportsmanship and fighting spirits, with a total of 259 medals attained by Team Singapore! With the spirit of athleticism at its peak in the month of June, here are the highlights of races organised in the month.
Nila Run 2015

Organised in conjunction with the 28th SEA Games, The Nila Run 2015 on June 7th 2015 gave participants a lifetime opportunity to step foot on the same race route used by the SEA Games Marathon for 10 kilometres after the official flag-off of the elite event. Participants of the non-competitive 10km run experienced the unfortunate morning downpour, which left many drenched and roads became slippery and wet. The race fared a mediocre 2.7/5 rating, with its pre-race logistics and runners entitlements being most satisfactory. Perhaps it was the unpredictable wet weather that results in low scores for amenties and race day expo and activities. However, the determined and resilient spirit of Nila participants running in the rain and completing the race was inspiring and heart-warming. Well done to all Nila Runners!
PCCW Global Charity Run 2015
The PCCW Global Charity Run 2015 took place on June 3rd 2015 at Gardens By The Bay, with the Singapore Cancer Society being their beneficiary of the race. This 5km race event achieved and excellent score of 4.6/5, faring well in most areas of a race event including pre-race logistics, hydration and route planning. Race organisers can take into consideration of including more race day activities to improve the runners’ experience.
Mileage Father’s Day Run 2015

The Mileage Father’s Day Run 2015 was organised on June 21st 2015 at Pasir Ris park, as part of a Father’s Day activity. It was also a charity event where all profits went to affected victims of Nepal earthquake. This meaningful event scored a 3.2/5 score, with pre-race logistics and route planning being the most satisfactory. Participants felt that race day expo and activities as well as amenities could be improved to make the event more fun and engaging since it is a family-targeted event.
The No Frills Run 2015

The No Frills Run 2015 took place on June 7th 2015 at Sengkang Riverside Park, with 2 race categories of 10km and 5km that aims to provide runners an affordable, simple and enjoyable race experience. This race event scored a commendable 3.5/5 rating, where it scored best at route planning, hydration and pre-race logistics. The two areas that were rated low are runners’ entitlement and race day expo.
Being a race event that promises safety and all essential aspects of a race in order to retain the affordable registration rate, it is reasonable for runners’ entitlements and race day expo to be kept simple and cost-friendly. As such, the No Frills Run 2015 is a success in itself for achieving what it promised to runners.
The Great Relay Singapore 2015

The Great Relay Singapore 2015 was organised on June 13th 2015 at Dairy Farm, where the new and trending race concept of Relay racing is introduced to participants with 2 race distances of 50km and 100km. Teams consisted of 2, 4 or 6 runners and the team with the shortest accumulated timing wins. Participants of this event not only enjoyed the sights and sounds of the rather unexplored area of Dairy Farm running routes, but also put their teamwork and endurance to the test. Despite the heat and long distance to cover, participants enjoyed themselves in this unique trail relay running concept, which is expected to be increasingly popular in the Singapore running community.
The Salomon MR25 Cross-country Marathon 2015
The Salomon MR25 Cross-country Marathon 2015 took place on June 28th 2015, at Singapore’s favourite running spots, the MacRitchie Reservoir. Voted as the 2014 Best X-Country Marathon in Singapore by JustRunLah!, it did not disappoint this year as the race gained positive feedbacks regarding its sufficient hydration, route planning and pre-race logistics. The race was carried as per prior years and such consistency in race organisation is definitely one of the reasons runners return to the same race year by year to push their limits and achieve new goals.

Get ready for a night of fun, sweat and excitement with the mega night race event of the year!
When I registered my daughter and husband for the Mileage Father’s Day race, I had all best intentions. It would be an event the two of them can share and the finisher medal will be a tangible item for my daughter to remember this year’s Father’s Day as a special event she shared with her daddy.
The morning started off well enough; excited and ready, glad we didn’t need to travel far we showed up at Pasir Ris Park with sufficient time to relax and enjoy the quiet atmosphere.
When their category started I waved them off for their 3km route around the beautifully manicured park and waited at the finish line, looking forward to their story and some pics.
What we didn’t anticipate was Trinity’s lack of enthusiasm during the race, indicating she was bored and basically giving up from even trying to run the race. It surprised and disappointed both John and I and it took the Jurrasic World movie to get us all out of the funk we were in.
Not the best race but they can still enjoy their finisher medals.
It took us a couple of weeks before the right opportunity came up to quiz Trini who is only 6 with the right kind of questions as to what happened. Interestingly we had some revealing answers which helped us first realise we made a mistake entering her in a 3km race that had little to stimulate her and was small as an event.
First surprise was that she liked the larger races such as the Standard Chartered Kids Dash not only because of the energy such a large crowd draws but also the 800m snaky route. So what we learned here is sprints and stimulating routes are a criteria.
SCMS 2014
The second surprise is that she’s not opposed to long distances but the constant opportunities to stop and engage with animals makes the 6km Safari Zoo race a thumbs up and “not boring because there’s lots to see”.
Safari Zoo 2015
Third surprise is that night runs are super fun because they are at night and instead of sleeping she gets to run. This was her explanation of the forthcoming Sundown Fun Run that starts at 8pm. Thankfully she’s a night child and we won’t have to worry too much about her getting too tired.
The final criteria is any race that includes obstacles such as the Energizer Obstacle Race because as Trini explains it they are “totally fun because you get to climb stuff and have lots of challenges as part of the run”.
Energizer Obstacle Race 2015
So the Father’s Day run may have been a disappointment on that day but it was a blessing in disguise as it brought forth our daughter’s interests in certain types of races not just any race that is listed. I guess that’s not that much more different than her own parents. As we participate in more races, it has become more apparent to the types of races we also enjoy. Our criteria is much the same as Trini’s; night races, obstacle races and interesting routes.
The lesson here is not to assume that just because a race or event is available for a child that they will like it, but to ensure that it is the right type of race that stimulates and excites the child to want to keep participating and engaging in these sporting activities.
As the countdown begins for MSIG Singapore Action Asia 50 race event, runners all over Singapore are gearing up to start training for the MSIG trail race series – a flat, fast urban trail race through the heart of Singapore. A training session will be held on Tuesday 7th July 2015, 6:30pm at Harbourfront MRT. The routes covered will include the Marang Trail, leading towards Mount Faber, as well as the nearby open spaces. It is optional to bring a small torch in case of limited visibility at night during the 60-80 minutes session.
While being a motivated and determined runner aids in your training sessions, here are 3 basic running etiquette all runners should practice to be a considerate runner.
1. Turn your music down
Excessively loud music played through your audio gadgets not only result in unnecessary noise to other public area users, but also impede your safety as your auditory sense is numbed by music, which in turn lowers your level of alertness. It can be a great and therapeutic experience to leave your ears music-free and listen to the sound of nature once in a while.
2.Reduce usage of plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are a thing of the past – it is now time to use your own hydration resources such as reusable water bottles and hydration pack bag. This simple gesture saves the environment by reducing plastic waste which are hard to remove, and also reduce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
3. Pick up your own garbage
Singapore global reputation as a clean and green garden city did not come easy – It is through the continuous green efforts of our people that contribute to the sustainable living environment we have in Singapore today. Runners should dispose their litter at waste bins which are conveniently located all around the country so as to keep away unwanted pests or running hazards.
Let us all do our part for the environment and our community by being a considerate, responsible and green runner!

It’s been a while since Team Costa has been on one of its run series. Busy schedules and overseas travels have a way of hindering even well laid out plans.
We finally made it out again and whilst I’m still not able to run yet the team selected the beautiful Botanic Gardens for a morning jaunt.
A small team made up of Chris, John, Veronika, Michelle and myself, we mapped out a route starting at Tanglin Gate. John and I had a head start as we were power walking the route. The aim was approximately 5km dependent on how my ankle would hold up.
We took a northbound approach then headed east around Swan Lake which was nicely shaded on a sunny and hot morning.
Moved on past Ginger Garden and into Orchid Plaza where morning artists weaved their creations. Seemed to be part of some organised event.
We carried on past the Symphony Lake where kids were chasing each other with water pistols. At this point I tested my somewhat jerky dodgy like jog by striking midfoot. It lasted for about 70m before the ankle started protesting. I shifted back into power walking and very shortly found ourselves at the Bukit Timah Gate on the opposite side of the park.
Pleased with the power walking progress, we headed southward and then took a westward turn to head back to the start. Along the way we met delightful photographers snapping owls high above in the trees of the rainforest walk.
As we emerged from the rainforest we ran into Veronika and by the time we made it back to Tanglin Gate we caught up with Chris and Michelle.
It took John and I an hour to clock up 6km and I’m still months away from any running but it’s a step forward and I’m happy to slowly return to regular training.
With exercise complete and an open appetite we wandered up to Jones the Grocer on Dempsey Hill and devoured a hearty breakfast and fresh juice. Overall a great morning. Worth getting out of bed for it.
Besides being an essential item of any race, Race Bibs are also the most valuable items for any runner because it represents your identity, symbolises your determination and courage for having completed the race, and becomes a token of memory as you look back on your running journey.
Uses of Race Bibs
Expected number of participants for each race ranges from a few hundred to thousands and the best and only effective way is to give each runner a unique identity with the use of numbered and color-coded race bibs. Traditional race bibs were used for the ease of tracking runners and allocating respective timings recorded on the official timer. However, with advances in technology, modern race bibs contain timing chips that accurately record start and end timings of each runner, with electronic data that are easily transferable to online portals that allow public or private access to their running records.
In addition, race sponsors and organisers utilize race bibs as marketing tools for advertising purposes, creating brand awareness among everyone who is involved in the race – participants, supporters and consumers.

Importance of Good Quality Race Bibs
For runners, any trivial thing during a race could possibly disrupt one’s concentration and result in disappointing performance. A poor quality race bib would crumple or tear during a race when made from non-durable and non-waterproof material. Besides the fact that it cannot be properly kept as a race momento, timing chips in race bibs might get destroyed and as a result, produce inaccurate or nullified timings of a run which runners have trained so hard for.
In addition to material used, the printing on race bibs are essential for identification purposes. High quality prints on race bibs would provide joy to both runners and race organisers as the colors and important details of the bib is maintained throughout and even after the race.
With that in mind, Drummond Printing Pte Ltd utilises professional digital variable data printing, which enable runners and companies to enjoy having race bibs with a mixture of fonts and colors, personalised full colored printing on water-proof and tear-resistant bib material.
So runners, keep that race bib collection going by participating in races and achieve your running goals!
Cycling enthusiasts at the brand new OCBC Cycle 2015 will be in for a treat, as a new high-speed, spectator-friendly race format called the OCBC Cycle Speedway Championships is unveiled. It promises to be a favourite among participants and fans alike!
Comprising the OCBC Cycle Speedway Club Championship and the OCBC Cycle Speedway SEA Championship, this new relay-format race category is part of the inaugural OCBC Cycle 2015. It will debut on Saturday, August 29th, at the Singapore Sports Hub, and will see the best riders from the region – as well as top athletes from the local cycling clubs – pit their skills against one another.
The new format will see four-cyclist teams ride a total of 10 laps in pairs around a fast 1km course. The first two cyclists will ride five laps before the second pairing finishes off the remaining laps. To derive the official race timing, a team is clocked from the start to when its third rider crosses the finish line.
The OCBC Cycle Speedway SEA Championship will see teams from Southeast Asian nations battling out in two qualifying heats, each pitting five teams against each other. The top three teams from each heat will progress to the semifinal, where the six teams will battle it out in a single round to determine the three finalists. The finalists will then face off to determine which team will be crowned the Champion of Southeast Asia, taking home a cash prize of S$6,000. The second and third-placed finishers will win S$4,000 and S$2,000 respectively.
In the OCBC Cycle Speedway Club Championship race, a total of 15 local cycling teams will compete in a similar format. There will be three qualifying heats involving five teams each, with the top two teams in each heat will progress to the semifinal. Cash prizes of S$800, S$600 and S$400, will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed teams respectively. The three winning teams will also receive Vertix Velo wireless cycling headsets worth $268 each.

The winners from both championships will be invited to ride in Sunday’s Champions Wave at the head of the mass-participation Sportive Ride.
Besides the OCBC Cycle Speedway Championships, cycling enthusiasts have a range of categories to participate in over the two days of cycling action. Kicking off the event on Saturday morning, August 29th, are the Mighty Savers® Kids Rides catering to youngsters aged 2 to 12 years old. The OCBC Cycle Speedway Championships will take place after these rides.
The action will continue on Sunday morning with the mass participation rides – The Sportive Ride (about 42km) and The Straits Times Ride (about 23km). These rides will offer individuals and corporations the priceless opportunity to be among the first to pedal across the finish line at the National Stadium on two wheels.
Mr Samuel Tsien, Group CEO, OCBC Bank said: “We are excited to officially launch OCBC Cycle 2015 today. Over the past 6 months, working closely with our 17 partners and the event organizer, we have been busy putting together what we are proud to consider a truly unique mass cycling event. Besides a new venue, this will also be the first time that participants of a sporting event in Singapore can enjoy a slew of lead-up and CSR activities. In another first, we are introducing a competitive category for the more serious cyclists here that will mirror the one for regional cycling professionals; the format for the OCBC Cycle Speedway Championships will see teams square off in knock-out rounds of intense competition. It will be a spectacle to thrill any audience.”
“From little tots to grandpas, from casual cyclists to professionals, OCBC Cycle is for everyone who loves to pedal. As the community saddles up in preparation, I too am gearing up – at least, to flag off riders at the National Stadium!”

Having taken running more seriously recently, I chanced upon a variety of online platforms that catered to runners. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that JustRunLah! hosted a blogging platform for those who were interested. After a little contemplation, I indicated my interest to contribute.
I began running when I was a kid. Most kids do indeed start to run by about 2 years old actually, so I’m sure this activity isn’t foreign to most of you reading this. However, I only ran to specifically get better at running back in 2012. Previously, having played competitive field hockey, I ran – but that was for the purpose of fitness. In 2012 however, I was introduced to running as an activity in itself.
I’d say my running experience started with the participation of a race…though I didn’t quite train for it. Sundown Marathon 2012 (Full Marathon). Thereafter, I actually started a running blog, just to track my experiences. It’s been about three years and it’s interesting to take a look at what got me started. Below is an excerpt from the original post in 2012 (the rest of the blog can be viewed here).
“My interest in distance running was inspired by a disappointing sporting season, accompanied with a simple suggestion by Ben, a friend from church, to participate in the Sundown Half-Marathon. The sporting season that ended abruptly left me feeling that an alternative avenue for the training to pay off came in the form of the 42.195km challenge”.
I struggled through the adventurous challenge (recall that my friend suggested a half-marathon, though I wasn’t settling for anything less than best – that was before I knew ultramarathons existed!) but nonetheless completed it. At the finish, I fought back tears as strangely, something felt amiss. I had previously visualised the moment of finishing full marathon, yet I recognised this was not the end. Undeniably, this was an accomplishment, but I had unfinished business as I realised I needed greater motivation – a facet that transcended material accomplishment but one that really hit the heart, hard.
Thus began my journey of running. There were various milestones that I set out to achieve and have attained thus far. Though often time goals, it is undeniable that the process grew me not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. Indeed it has been and I have faith that it will continue to be a fulfilling journey (of much more than a thousand miles).

Ashley’s journey is an epic example that all of us have dreams. But in order to make dreams come through, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.
The leg raise is the perfect exercise for the somewhat neglected lower abdominals and hip flexors. Regular performance of leg raises can help to strengthen the lower back and therefore reduce the risk of injuries.
Benefits of the Leg Raises:
Build abs, reduce belly fats and strengthens lower abdominal muscles.
Improve flexibility and strength of hip flexors
Strengthening thigh muscles
Lower risk for back injuries. Supports the lower back
How to do:
Lie flat on the floor (on a mat)
Engage your stomach muscles.
Slowly lift your legs to a 45-degree angle, keeping your legs straight, not bending at the knees and toes pointed.
Pause for a second then slowly lower the legs back down.
Always wanted to challenge yourself to an IRONMAN event but the pre-race logistics and location has stopped you from doing it? Previously, triathletes in Singapore headed to nearby events such as IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya or IRONMAN Malaysia (Langkawi). This year, IRONMAN 70.3 Bintan provides a different and unique race experience.
2. It’s accessible and stress-free.
The inaugural Ironman 70.3 Bintan is just an hour’s ferry ride from Singapore. A special check-in procedure sees the bikes handed over at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore and delivered directly to your hotel or to the bike depot at the race headquarters, where a team of mechanics will be on hand to help with any last-minute issues.
3. It’s beautiful.
Staged at Lagoi Bay – a prime tropical beach resort – the location promises a race experience such as quiet country roads, golden beaches, luxury hotels, lush green landscape and a laid-back vibe. The swim will entail a single 1.9km lap in crystal clear waters, while the 90km bike course will be based largely on the scenic route through northwestern Bintan. The athlete and spectator friendly run leg will comprise of three laps of a flat 7km circuit that skirts a lake dominating the resort, plus swathes of pristine rainforest and the triathlon village.
4. You can get support from your family and friends.
Since Bintan is usually a preferred tourist destination for most Singaporeans, this is a race where your whole family and close friends can gather to cheer you on! There is no better feeling than to complete a gruelling race in front of your loved ones, who will have the possibility to make a day trip if they don’t want to stay over.
5. You can qualify for 2016 Ironman 70.3 World Champs.
Ironman 70.3 Bintan not only offers 40 spots, but it will be one of the first qualifiers for the 2016 Ironman 70.3 World Champs happening in Australia. The World Champs rotate and might not be so close to home for a few years!
IRONMAN triathlon is widely recognised as one of the most difficult one-day sporting events in the world. This year, MetaSport brings it closer to all Singaporeans to once again try, experience and challenge themselves!
Mark your calendar; 23rd August, Anything is Possible.
