Image
My First KOTR - 28 Oct 2012 Well, in short it was quite a well-organised 16.8km race, conveniently held at the Gardens by the Bay. Just that at half-way through the race, the sun was a little too strong. I was glad I had a cap on. Pre-race: To sign up the fees are $45 for early bird, $50 during normal period. You can choose which colour of the singlet you want and go down on the day of the colour you want. For guys, if blue isn't your favourite colour, you can choose green or red. For girls, if pink isn't to your liking, you can go for purple or like green. On the race pack collection day: The queue was long but it was fast too. There were also booths selling sponsors' products Inside e race pack: Adidas race information and race bib Adidas running singlet Tiger balm muscle rub sample On the race day - 28 Oct 2012 The race was started promptly at 715am, there were 3 waves No long wait at the baggage deposit booth. Collection of baggage was fast

Pre-Race: Before the run, training runs were organised to prepare runners for the event On the race pack collection day: - There were activities for u to take part in - You can also exchange your race shirt for the right size if you found out that your shirt is too small/big. This is good news, I am one of those who exchange my shirt for a bigger one. (The race shirt is nice, so is the finisher tee) - If you are within the first 300 people at the booth, you can customize your shirt Race Day: - Run is held in City Hall Area - Water points - 100 Plus / Ice mountain available - After the race you get a Finisher Tee, which I personally think is more useful that a finisher's medal - You can take photos at the pho
