Not enough water and no isotonic drinks provided. After the 10km mark, I didn’t have any more water to drink and had to finish the remaining 11km distance without water.
This is the worst run that I have ever joined. The bag deposit area is packed with 10km finishers collecting their bags while all 21km runners were wasting time queuing together. Many of us were late for the run because of that. There is no staffs for us to query and the whole area is so messy and confusing. Had difficult time finding the venue as well as the starting point. Totally disappointed. Hydration point only provide water, was hoping to have isotonic drinks. The 21km route was not as planned, again disappointed. We have paid so much for the run, and everything is just out of what we expected.
When I finish with my 10km run, no more medal. Also no more banana and even no isotonic drink in the finish line. After the run we need to queue in the information to put our names for medal. Me and my wife both have no medal. The Finisher shirt size is different from the running tee shirt, so we need to change the size in the information which is another queue.
They need more staff and a bigger area as the finish line and start line is very near so a lot of queue and taking a lot of time.
Have you got your medals yet ?
Me and wife still waiting to get he medals til now….
route as per map: not met
Distance marker at every km as per said: not met
Isotonic drinks: none
Not gonna run this race next year.
Lousy race. Route was changed just before flag-off. No water near Sports Hub for those doing the 2 loop for 21km. No isotonic drink at end point. Goodie bag was just a cheap simple plastic bag. Not coming back anymore!
Worst run ever no isotonic drink given at the end of the race, i only see one first aider at the kallang wave mall should depoly more first aider. Term and condition that it stated on the website also not follow, it state that sizes of the shirt cannot be change and all the size that we state we must follow. I put size s for my finisher tee and when i reach the finish line they told me no size s. This is so unreasonable, state ur own term and condition yet never follow. So dissappointed
Can be.better next time…collection time of baggage is too long ..complete my race at 720pm….by the time i got my bag..it was around 820pm.
I really enjoyed the run on a nice cool evening with Chingay fireworks going off from time to time (there should be more runs in Jan and Feb). I finished at a 2.15 pace and the water stations still seemed ok, but if they ran out after that – that is potentially dangerous for runners.
My main complaint now is I can’t believe they still haven’t posted results yet. In this day an age, results should be up the same day (call them preliminary if you must).
I think the organiser is quite inexperience…For the late comers like myself, I only knew of the change in route when I saw the elite runners overtook me during my 1st loop…the worst HM that I participated so far…ran out bananas & no isotonic drinks at any point…
This run suck because:
1. Apparently half marathon runner have to be there by at least an hour earlier in order to deposit our bags because there is going to have tons of 10k people queuing at around 7pm to take their bags.. luckily I only carried a small bag so.. I ran with it cos I don’t want to be late for my run!
2. We ran two loops because organisers changed the freaking route at the last minute! I was expecting a single unique route..
3. I managed to grab only one half-filled cup of isotonic drink at one station towards the end.. by luck!.. because I camp there.. very stingy about drinks for such an expensive run..
4. Distance marking were very very insufficient and not noticeable.. And I dont know how many runners noticed this, the distance signs were actually not accurate according to my Runtastic Pro app.. I dont know..
Only great thing though, the apple and banana were sweet..
How can you not have posted the results yet??!! Awful. I’ve done a respectable PB and am aching to see where I rank – definitively – NEVER AGAIN
i got to say the goodies bag for this race was just plastic bag as mention by some
Of the runner, one thing I would
Like to highlight is for all my 10km
Marathon run this was the worst run I ever attend why would I say so ? There is no water point at all station only waterpoint at 2km
Mark if I not wrong then the other waterpoint is almost reaching half way to the run then there is an other waterpoint, distance totally not telly at all. And I don’t think I would come back to this race again, poorly manage
