Brooks 10km Life Run

Today was the Brooks 10 km Life Run organised by NUS Sudents' Sports Club. This was the first time that they organised the run. But they have organised the Legs and Paddles for the last 20 years. (running and kayaking). It was held at One Fullerton, by the Banks of the Singapore River.

Here is the program. The time for the race was 10 am.

There was a warm up at 9.50 am conducted by 3 ladies from the Califronia Fitness, one of their sponsors.

This banner shows Brooks the sponsor of the race. Their corporate logo is Run world, run...

After the warmup we waited and waited at the start line. It was past 10 and the weather was really very hot. i was sweating all over... Even before i started...

Finally the race started at 10.25 am and away we ran.... We had a panoramic view of the Singapore river... We followed up the path of the Singapore River, past Connaught Drive, all the way to Boat Quay and u turn at ORD Bridge (next to Liang Court Complex). We then did a 360 degree u turn back to one Fullerton and back again. (two rounds).

I was climbing up and down steps to bridges and through the underpass. The route was tough and we were not allowed to go on the road or on the grass. There were many marshals along the way directing us how to run... We were also not allowed to spit or throw used paper cups and water bottles on the road...

I did one round as i was afraid of getting heatstroke...

These people are the runners for the race after mine. They were waiting to run first than kayak..... Many people came to run and canoe too. There was men's challenge, ladies' challenge, mixed challenge...
