ANALYSING U RUN ALL ACCESS 2017 PACKAGE

Source : https://www.usports.com.sg/events/u-run-all-access-2017-2/

We did a personal review for the popular U-Run All Access 2015 and 2016 and hope that it helped fellow runners in weighing the pros and cons of the offer. NTUC has launched U-Run All Access (URAA) 2017 in the recent Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore Expo. We were told by NTUC that they are offering 2 packages - "Competitive" at $168 and "Fun" at $198. Here we are giving our personal analysis on the "U Run All Access 2017". Do note that we take no sides, we are just being objective in our honest opinions :

Assumptions/Fine Prints :

• Registration fees mentioned in this post are similar to past years' published fees for respective races. We are assuming that there is no increase in registration fees.

• You need to be NTUC/nEbO member or member-to-be in order to enjoy the benefits and privileges. Allow us to remind once again that not everyone can sign up as NTUC (National Trade Union Congress) member (e.g. Singapore Police Force, Singapore Prisons, Auxiliary Police bodies, foreign domestic workers and full-time students). Check your eligibility first. Also, NTUC membership fee is $117 per annum.

Registration Fees for Running Events Offered for Fun Package

Verdict

Herewith our personal comments after comparing the registration fees for URAA 2017 package:

• If you are a NTUC member, there is a definite edge in signing up for URAA 2017. It relates to substantial cost-savings if you choose running events that are more than $56 for "competitive" package and $66 for "fun" package. 

• For non-members who intend to sign up for NTUC membership to enjoy the package deals, we have second thoughts. Unless we see values in the NTUC membership other than the URAA 2017,  the savings may not seem substantial and justifiable.
