Original blog post:
Well it had been few weeks since I’ve updated on racing news, I think you won’t miss the Nike Human Race adverts running all around Singapore (and if them covering up queensway shopping isn’t loud enough). Nike+HumanRace is largely a charitable race with a good intentions, something I will greatly personally recommend to run at $25 per entry for a good cause- You can choose to run for UN Refugee Agency, Lance Armstrong Foundation or the World Wildlife fund for nature for the Singapore league and beats any overpriced $35 Mizuno Wave Run anytime.
This race gets my recommendation mainly for the price, charity part (not any commercial orientated run) and the very exceptional goodie bag items. There’s even an incentive for being the 1st 200 runners!

Hi,
I’m also wondering, there’s no date and place info about race expo.
Anyone has any input?
thanks.
The news are not out yet on the race expo aka race pack collection. Do check back up when I post it. cheers!
heyy,i sumhow stumble here^_^
and im interested in joining,can the registration be made by cash..i heard its at sistic,u mean all the sistics or jz some specific places?
Sistic? nope, its through some printing company called digilab who offer their payment gateway free for the event registrations. you can check out the link above in my post! cheers!
Eh hello… i need help over here. i have a female friend who’s interested in joining the race but she won’t be able to fit into the female S size which is currently the biggest left. (the other bigger size for female is finish). my question is. can SHE wear a MEN’s race tee and attend the race? i understand that a female can register with a men shirt. but is that allow?
I don’t think there will be a problem with that. In terms of comfort, theres not much difference between the mens and ladies shirts.
hey i registered online and faked my age cos i’m not yet 16 this year is it ok? how do i pay by sistic using cash or nets?
pls reply thanks!
If you faked your age,what happens when the organisers want to verify your particulars on the day of race pack collection and they finds out your age is incorrect?Don’t forget you have agreed to the terms & conditions on the registration site and they will have the right to not to refund your money if they were to deny your registration as part of your particulars is fake.
yup, umm faking your age is against the race terms, so run at your own risk. If you can’t run, you can still support the event as a virtual runner with your donations.
Mmm, won’t think people will want to fake more on the age for the $20 bump when they turn 25? or will the system verify that based on your IC no already? Figures…
this is my 1st time to run marathon.
so i just come up to padang on the date and time,
and bring my IC for verification and collect my tee shirt?
Marathon? ummm this is a 10km run. hehe. Anyway, you do not need your IC with you to collect your goodies. usually you will be able to so with your number tag or bib, that will be enough and they will usually mark your number tag after you’ve collected your entitlements.
Whether you are debating to bring your IC, otherwise, I will usually recommend runners to bring such ID and details with them when running, you can slip them in your running shorts (if there are pockets, internal or external) or carry an arm band pouch with some spare cash, Mp3 player if need be or a phone. Carrying you ID may help in case of emergencies of a case when you do not fill in your personal particulars behind your number tag. That is particularly important for first time runners as well.
yeah shaun can you please tell me am from kenya and am an elite athlete and i want to run in catogory of over 25 and am 21 one please can you tell me if i will accepeted cos i want to win a cash price not only voucher? please i also want to ask you about the army bay run on 24 aug how much is the price money thanks
Hi Tomy, nice to see a professional runner here as well!
Registrations wise, especially if you gunning to run competitively, its the best to stick to the age group you are in. Its for your benefit as the organisers can choose to revoke your win if you faked your age, especially if you are in a situation a win within your reach, so the best is to play safe and run <25.
This race is unlike most events with an Open category, like the Singapore Bay run where you can compete when you are over 18. So I think you are quite out of luck running in the >25 cat for the Nike+ now.
I will update you on the Bay run prizes, Safra is migrating their site at the moment, so I don’t have the details in Hand, even their registration forms do not state prizes. In the meantime, you might want to check out more details of AHM on my blog post here.
hey its me again..hmm im gathering some people to join and we are paying as a group..is gst still included?how are the people suppose to pay the gst cos the amount would be so weird?thanks. btw is it too late to sign up?heard many shirst sizes are running out.
Shirts are bit of the least priority now, as people are frantic for places now..
You still have to wear the shirt to run, so expect lots of ill-fitting shirts on people on race day!
i have like 100plus more ppl joining..will they produce more shirst for us?
whoa, i sense a umm, registrations closing comming, quite soon…
i just signed up today and they only got S size for men. i doubt i can fit when i usually wear a L size. anybody who finds your M or L too big can change with me?
Yup, just post yr lelong lelong here, I think we have some ladies who might find theirs too big as well, with all the large odd sizes only available now.
and when is the collection date of the nike pack?
Collection date is to be confirmed. sorry, will post when i get the info.
cheers!
You can check my race pack FAQ on this page in the meantime.
Hey i would like to know that lots of people wants to join this run cos of charity and theres a concert but is it necessary to run since we only want to attend the concert?
Nope you can just drop down for the free concert, the place is open for all to enjoy, even if you are not running!
howcome u said the registration ends at 9th aug but i went to register today, it’s closed alr!
Hi Hazel, from some feedback I’ve got, it seems that all the slots are filled up before the actual 9th aug closing date.
If you were to approach the organizers on this they will most probably (and will) tell you that they will have the safety and best intentions for the runners who had signed and and won’t risk over catering for the event, putting in more runners than intended will be a safety risk.
Update: The training run slot are all full as well.
You can still have in the event by donating to the selected charities and be a virtual race runner!
In my opinion the GST should have been included in the total amount. Just charge us $27 instead of a weird amount of $26.75.:twisted: It would have been a lot easier collecting money that way. Hmm a way in which they can improve in next year.
haha yea, its kinda painful esp when you are collecting for a team. But it’s a usual sales tactic thou, no to include GST inside.
Anyway what you pay goes to charity, so no complains I guess!
hi! i signed up a few days ago, well my friend did it for me since he has got a credit card to do so. however in the process he typed in the wrong email address. how do i go about changing it.? he also received an email by nike to allow him to change his event tee size. did you guys received it? i am trying hard to contact nike by e- mail , but so far there wasnt any reply, i dont think i can fit into S! your help is apprieciated !
thanks!
Hey ivan, you should try calling them the next working day, say come monday at their number, it beats the email method and gets your job done faster too. There do update your particulars too if may. The shirt is Impt as you need it to run in the event.
Their No is Tel: +65 6291 2019 (9am to 5pm, Mon to Fri)
hi shaun
tomy here have you get the price list for army run ?
and also can you mail me any contacts of the nike human race race organicer tel or email thanks mail to helesang@yahoo.com
Hi Tomy, sent yo the mail, the organisers of the bay run had not gotten back to me with regards to the prizes yet. Surprised it’s not published on the forms and site this year, based ont he last few year’s I think it’s $10,000 for the 1st place prize.
hi shaun,
not sure what happen, i actually reserved a spot to run on their webpage. nothing was done nor any confirmation send to our email at all. i stumble on your entry here and checked and realised that i wasn’t even registered. so sad and disappointed! was really looking forward to this run .. so angry! aniwae thanks for your post. interesting read. you have a good run.
