Image
This is my second time participating in the Swissotel Vertical Marathon. Although the atmosphere was better last year, I felt better this year probably because I knew what to expect and this was my second time. Second time is usually better than the first. :D When:  23 Nov 2014 Where:  SwissĂ´tel The Stamford Cost:  $52 (early bird) with 10% discount for DBS/POSB card holders - Price has increased On the race pack collection day: I went at 11am. There was no queue and everything was smooth. I got a bag with my race bib, the tag for my shoes, a magazine, tee-shirt, a race pack with lots of flyers. No Milo this time. On the race day: It was pretty the same as the last time. Up the stairs to the top. 73 Storeys, and a medal is waiting for you at the top. Stunning views but wish it wasn't so sunny. haha. No milo van this time.  Visit Jelly Rush at Ping.sg

This is the first Garfield run in Singapore. I joined the 3km which was rather short but fun. Yes, Garfield was there. As the run was short, everything ended very quickly. When: 19 Jul 2014 Where: The Promontory @ Marina Bay Cost:  $38 for 3KM Fun Run On the race pack collection day: Everything was smooth. Waiting time wasn't long.  You get a orange draw string bag, which consists of - A Garfield Run shirt - Race Bib - Some flyers and Race Information On   the race day: The venue was easy to locate. Just alight at Raffles Place MRT and follow the signs.  3KM was quite short. The first flag off was at 6:30pm and we reach back at around 7pm.  There was a Milo Truck, lots of people were queuing for it, as usual. It is Singapore's fav drink.  Somewhere around the 1.5KM mark, there is a water point - Aquarius isotonic drink was served. After the race is completed, they give you a medal, a bottle of mineral water, and a packet of pop corn. The limited edition Garfi
