Race Review: Ubin Wayfinder 2015 (by RunningShu)
This morning I ran my first ever race and first ever trail in my life! (There's always a first for everything, eh?)
I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to perform because I had never ran a race or a distance longer than 5km before, but these...
Race Review: Great Eastern Women’s Run 2015 [21.1km] (by ‘runforfun’)
Back to this race for the second year running!
Great race as usual. Too bad I wasn't on form (trying not to blame the haze, but oh wells, that is still part of the reason) and thus the unofficial timing of 2 hours 20 minutes. Well, it is still an...

Today marks the 10th year of the largest all-women race in Asia, the Great Eastern Women's Run (GEWR) where 17,000 over female runners from Singapore and beyond challenge their endurance, speed and celebrate the journey to greatness. This is the first time taking part in the GEWR and I'm...
Race Review: Commando Challenge 2015 (by ‘SmallSteph’)
Two years ago, I was a disappointed finisher of the inaugural Commando Challenge. We were delayed for hours at the start point along the green corridor, many obstacles broke down beyond repair, and for a registration fee of $90+ we received a transparent plastic bag of a t-shirt and...
Race Review: Newton Challenge 2015 [32KM] (by MJ)
The Preparation
There was no preparation for the 32km race whatsoever. Thanks to the haze, I only managed to squeeze in only 3 runs for the entire Sep 2015! A grand total of 18km!! This was why I was contemplating not to turn up for the race. But after collecting...
Race Review: Commando Challenge 6km Obstacle Race 2015 [by ‘red3’]
Icy baths, electric shocks, vertical climbs and prone crawls... why wouldn't you want to compete in the Commando Challenge obstacle race? The 13 military style obstacles were interspersed within a 6km run along the beaches, tracks, and jungle of Sentosa Island.
A stinking hot day at 33 degrees celsius, perhaps...
[MesaStila Challenge 21km Trail] Travel, Relax and Race – Day 3
Waking up rejuvenised for race day, runners for the 21km/13km events were ferried to the start point at Ambarawa Railway Museum, located about 30 minutes bus ride from the resort. Runners were to start at the railway station, running along the heritage railway for most part of the course...
[MesaStila Challenge 21km Trail] Travel, Relax and Race – Day 2
The 2nd day of the 3D2N travel and run trip was spent doing an easy run, exploring the resort while checking out the activities available. There is a 4.8km designated route around the resort for guests to walk/run. The route brought me through the rustic villages. I also saw...
