Running Review: Passion Run 2012 - 21K
When: 11 Nov 2012, 7am
Where: East Coast Park
Weather: Cloudy & Sunny
In short, it was quite a well organised race. The volunteers were very encouraging, especially during the last 5km of the race when many of us were feeling quite tired. Many water points along the route but the isotonic drinks were already finished when I reach 12km onwards. Nevertheless, with the good weather, encouraging volunteers and sufficient water points, Passion run 2012 is a good and well-organised race. :)
Pre-race:
Register at the website early to enjoy the early-bird fees
On the race pack collection day:
At Novena square, the queue was long, waiting time was about 20 mins. Like other events' race pack collection days, there were booth selling sponsors' products
Inside the race pack
On the race day:
After the race:
There will be jigsaw puzzle finisher certificate
Overall, it's a great event. Encouraging volunteers, many goodies in the race pack, good weather, no long wait at the baggage deposit area, and ample water points. Hope to join it again next year :)

Inside the race pack
- Brooks running singlet
- Brooks laptop backpack (which is nice except for the big words "100 PLUS PASSION RUN 2012" written in front)
- A pair of newton socks
- Paypal towel
- Personalised notebook! (This is really cool, my name is on every page of the notebook! :D )
On the race day:
- The race started at 7am with two waves
- Baggage deposit is queue is short - depositing and retrieving my baggage was an ease
- There were many water points along the route, but the isotonic drinks were gone by the time I reached 12km onwards. I heard a guy exclaiming "It's not 100 Plus Passion Run, it's Ice Mountain Passion Run."
- Encouraging volunteers along the race makes runners more motivated. It's really good! :)
- At the end of the race, each person is entitled to one can of 100 plus, a bottle of Ice Mountain drinking water, a banana, finisher medal and a finisher's tee. I can't help but to say that the finisher's tee doesn't look appealing at all.
- Isotonic drinks and normal drinking water available at the end of the race
- There are also booths where you can take photos
After the race:
There will be jigsaw puzzle finisher certificate
Overall, it's a great event. Encouraging volunteers, many goodies in the race pack, good weather, no long wait at the baggage deposit area, and ample water points. Hope to join it again next year :)
