Hi! This was my 2nd race after the Timex run the week before and I was extremely disappointed. First, the race kits were not ready when we went to the Del Monte office to pick it up…after braving the saturday night traffic and sudden downpour in the fort area. 2nd the start was so disorganized, 3k, 5k and 10k runners were all crowded in the starting line area with no idea what time the race will start. I also hated the fact that they stationed redemption booths behind the finish line. The long qeues blocked the finishers. They better pick a better organizer the next time.

4AM start for a long delay starting at 6AM, yikes. Race management snafus that I hope they fix for next years race. Hey looking strong on those photos – all business, love it.

hi Jaymie,

any tips for the Singapore marathon during race day? Is it advisable to bring our own hydration packs, gels or beans? I heard the weather in Singapore is humid so maybe more difficult for runners. is it true?

there is nothing fit n’ right with this race..from the start of the race till the end..the worst for runners of course is the lack of water at the supposed to be hydration booths. papatayin ata ng del monte ang mga runners eh. buti na lang 10k lang ang pinakamahabang race.

hi! your laptop is alive! i joined Botak’s 15K Paa tibayan last Sunday. Ok naman kaya lang there was no distance markers throughout, something i feel is very important. We did not have any idea how far we were from the finish line. Kulang din ng water stations, buti na lang it coincided with another race which provided more drinks for their participants. Nakakahiya man pero we shared with their drinks. Anyway, congrats you reachhed your goal!
