This is my first time participating in the Swissotel Vertical Marathon. Overall it was a great experience. There was a pretty emcee hyping up the mood, and many enouraging supporters and volunteers along the way. When: 24 Nov 2013 Where:  Swissôtel The Stamford Cost: $50 (early bird) with 10% discount for DBS/POSB card holders Website:  http://www.swissotelverticalmarathon.com/ On the race pack collection day: It was easy to find - located in Swissotel itself. Signs were available and volunteers were there to guide. Queue wasn't long, so I didn't wait long before my turn. The only disappointment was that they no longer gave shoe bag as their goodie bag. This time it was a draw string bag. Well, at least the quality was good. Inside the race pack: - Bid number - T-shirt - Milo packs - other sponsors' goodies On the race day: Pretty emcee Kelly Latimer was hyping up the mood. The sponsored drink was Aquarius which tasted quite nice.  There was also a Milo ...

I am a self-professed coffee addict. I drink coffee everyday without fail. Years ago when I told that to my Vietnamese friend told me, she told me that theVietnamese coffee is really good, I have to try it. There was no Vietnamese coffee in Singapore then so I didn't know where to try it. I heard that Trung Nguyen coffee started in Singapore and after hearing great reviews it, I know I've got to try it. So I head towards their outlet at Liang Court. At the Liang Court outlet, I was greeted by a lady. She smiled sweetly and waited for my order. I asked her which is the most popular coffee in the menu and she said that Creative Mix 4 and 5 are the most popular. Creative Mix 5 is the strongest so I ordered Creative Mix 4 because I didn't want my coffee to be too strong. So when my coffee is ready, she explained how everything works. I have to wait about 5 minutes so that all the coffee will drip into the cup. After that I have to mix the contents with a spoon. ...

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 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 n...

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.

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.

I have been signing up for a few running events so I have decided to do reviews on the events I signed up for :D This is my first Nike We Run SG - 21 Oct 2012 - and certainly won't be my last. :D If I have one word to describe it, it would be FANTASTIC! 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...
