Straits Time Run 2014 Essential Race Information

BACKGROUND

Straits Time Run 2014 will be held on 28 September in the Sport Hub. This is the first organised running event to be held in the Singapore Sports Hub. The event is expecting about 10,000 runners for 10km race, 6,000 for the 5km and 5,000 for the half marathon.

For Rachel, this is another half-marathon to prepare her for her approaching Standard Chartered Marathon 2014. For Simon, he will be taking this event as a recovery run (after his super endurance run the week before).

I hope the event organiser has taken feedbacks for ST Run2013 and improve on their conduct (e.g. Long queue time as the collection point for the finishers' goodie bag and medal was approximately 800m away from the finish point.)
