She said, “The bag drop was quite okay and did not have much queues.”.Soon after, I headed over to meet the other members of the media and the Sundown With Love ambassadors and we were ushered towards the front of the start line, with about half an hour to go before the race would be flagged off.Part of the OSIM Sundown Marathon’s charity outreach efforts with the aim to give back to the community and help the less fortunate, the Sundown With Love campaign had been more deeply ingrained as part of the Sundown Marathon culture this year, with the ambassadors having been officially introduced for the first time at a lead-up run a couple months ago where they had run with the event’s beneficiaries.Amongst them, there had been a few runners whom I knew, such as Sng Boon Heng, Yvonne Siew, Darren Ho and Kerrin Kua.Altogether there had been ten Sundown With Love ambassadors and they had raised funds for seven charities including Food From the Heart, Boys’ Town, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.The other charity outreach initiative by the event organisers had been to have SPD (formerly the Society for the Physically Disabled) helping to collate the runner race entry packs for collection, as well as hiring the SAVH (Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped) to provide massages post-race for runners in both the Half and Full Marathon categories.One of the event emcees, Ross Sarpani, had greeted me when I was walking to the start pen, but I think that I had probably been too groggy to acknowledge him back properly!The sleep bug was beginning to hit me when I was waiting for the flag off to approach, but fortunately, Kerrin’s enthusiasm and energy had been able to keep me awake during these moments.Our category commenced quite punctually this morning as planned. This is a common but scenic route that is used in many of the local races throughout Singapore so it was familiar to me.According to HiVelocity, this had been an enhanced race route compared to the previous year’s version of the event to avoid congestion.Mark had loved the race route. The route starts on the Nicoll Highway. I had brought my own salt tablets and energy gels though, so I did not need to utilise these.I also noted that the brand of gels being given out had been a different one to the ones that I usually use, too and I realise that it is not a good thing to try something new during a race.Added Mark, “The race logistics was very good and the aid stations were not short of any drinks, gels or bananas.”.During my run, I also spotted several runners wearing signs on their backs in order to spread eco-friendly messages.This was part of a collaboration between OSIM Sundown Marathon with the Public Hygiene Council and Green Ambassador Tyre Lady, to encourage both runners and supporters to ‘Bin It’ and reduce large amounts of waste typically generated at large scale running events.Besides signages pasted on some runners’ backs, there were also larger Screened Disposal Areas as well as different types of bins for the various types of trash. The village featured a variety of activities that had included food trucks, as well as beer tents by Brewerkz and fitness classes by TripleFit x Pocari Sweat and movie screening.Title sponsors OSIM also had a booth to give runners the chance to try out their latest product, the sporty version of the OSIM uStiletto leg massagers that features a Sports Recovery programme to relieve runners’ tense muscles and improve their performance.At that point, I had told myself that I would head to the OSIM massage booth after I was done with the marathon.As well, a baggage deposit service was also available but according to some runners, the signages at the race village pointing towards this was not as clear as they would have liked. Was the Marathon Route Clean?
Run more!PS. Congrats on your first marathon at Sundown! I made sure that I took very small steps when I had crossed this portion so that I would not trip and fall, but I note that the uneven planks may have been dangerous to runners who were running at a faster pace than me.But fortunately it had not been raining too much during the last few days, so the planks and the grassy sections had not been muddy.Added Mark, “There were places along the run, especially at the end, that were very dark and this made me worried because I had not been sure whether I was running the right way.
I did several training runs, and I managed to meet my goal. Actually, a lot of people have been asking me about this tonight.”.Hi! We learnt from our mistakes last year that when you try and introduce things and deviate from getting the basics right, that is where we had screwed up and had made a mess of things in 2017.”.This is because for the 2017 edition of Sundown Marathon, the race pack collection had featured long queues of more than two or three hours and some runners had been forced to wait in the pouring rain. It’s in the mind.’.The first time I found my quote was at the 11km marker and at that point, I stopped to pose for a photo with this.For the kilometre markers though, these were generally positioned accurately enough along the 42.195km route, but I noticed that a few of the distance markers appeared to have been missing though.But at least the direction signages were large, clear and distinctive, telling runners say, when to turn and whether to head left or right. Thanks for your inspiration!As long as we find our own niche, be it Tennis, Cycling, Running or swimming.Whoa! Once again, I stopped to take a photo with it.It was sheer relief when I saw the 41km marker and then some time afterwards, the finishing arch was up ahead. So when I had left my house to head down to the race site on Saturday night at about 11pm, I had been feeling a little sleepy, despite having already had some coffee in a bid to stay awake.I reached the race village at about 11.30pm and I had a quick look at what was available there.
