Nice and cool weather and the race started early at 7:35 am instead of schedule 7:45 am with early arrival of minister. With early shuttle bus started at 6:00 am and able to start from few rows behind the starting line.

Managed to achieved about 47 minutes for 10 km competitive run compared with previous two years of about 53 minutes due to started way back from starting line.

With the new introduction of shuttle bus service from main MRT stations really helped to bring runners to the event venue much earlier.

SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon


Nice and cool weather with the race started early at 5:15 am.

Managed to achieved about 1 hour 49 minutes for this 21 km competitive run compared with last year's 2 hours.

They should provide more shuttle bus service from major MRT stations instead of a handful of Safra Clubs.

RunNUS 2012

The race is 10 km but actual was 11 km according to many runners' GPS recording.

The weather is scorching hot with such a late start and managed to achieve about 53 minutes for 11 km run with many killing steep slopes.

This year run got lots of dissatisfaction feedback with about two weeks very long wait for run results publishing and only get to know your timing with your position without the total number of runners for respective category.

Really disappointing with photos coverage and still no official photos publishing after two weeks.
