First Running Club Sunday run

Running Club's First Sunday run at East Coast Park Fort Rd B1 carpark.
Meet up at 0630H, CM turned up to support the event, by the time we waited for all to arrive, we kicked start the run ard 0700H.

We ran distances ranging from 10km to 12km, depending on comfort level, turn out wasn't too bad. The aim really wasn't to force anyone to come but rather to gather everyone that enjoyed running.

We completed the run in gd time, took some photos and some of us went for breakfast while the others make their way home to accompany their family.

It was a good run!!

Sundown Marathon - 247 Running Club

Sundown marathon 2009 is our club's first running event since its form. We had 14 participants for the marathon. We ran hard for 42km and all of us completed the run. The spirit was commendable. Despite cramps and abrasions, everyone did their best and showed the "Never say Die" Spirit. It was a first time for most of us. We had tried it once and we will do it again, challenging ourselves and will be better prepared!!
We started together and we end together, with the earlier finishers cheering and waiting for the later ones to come in... The sense of achievement for completing the marathon was a proud and unforgettable moment.

Here are some of the runners:


We had finishers coming in ranging from 5+ to 9+ hours. Its not about the timings, its about the determination!!

WELL DONE RUNNERS!!!
