The race wqas ok but too many people and not enough event management. After waiting nearly 35 mintues to start(2nd flag off was a joke), way too many people decided its a walk which jsut blocked the entrie route for others, even slower runners. Worst was down at finalyson st runners were everywhere and we actually stopped for about 5-7 mintues. No staff around, no direction.

After coming back to the bridge it was ok but again too narrow running path and too many people having a Sunday walk. Organisers should not base starting position on finsihing time but on whether the competitors are running or walking. Im a really slow runner and was knocking people out of the way.(if I apss you, you are really slow)

If you are at the 100m mark from the start and are walking, you should not be in the race.

Water points a disaster but we just raided the station and took what you want.
Finishing area was quite quick surprisingly.

Not the worst race but need improvement from Nike and the organisers.

i don’t quite like the areas where pollution is bad, esp m.south, and shenton way etc.
it is the same for AHM as well. bad for running esp we are breathing in more
than what we usually did.
other than that, yes the weather is also in our favour for the run and logistic was fine.
it was fun indeed. looking forward to Real Run and SCSM for this year.

I collected my Race Pack on the first day. We were asked if we are finishing below 60mins or above 60mins, then given Blue or Green wrist tags accordingly. Those with Red wrist tags are people targetting below 45mins. The wrist tags are like those party tags you’ve seen at major events like ZoukOut, etc.

By: Shaun

Shaun — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:48:40 +0000

If I am not wrong, there are 2 possibilities of wrist tags in the bag you’ve collected. From what I’ve got there is one yellow livestrong band and the other, a red yahoo! wrist sweat band.

I have a strong feeling that the category tags are the wrist sweat bands.

UPDATE:
Sorry, if you have not collected your tag at the collection day (which I wasn’t given), the the wrist bands are to be collected on the day itself. They are paper like one time strapped bands (non-removable) similarly those found on theme parks. There will also be a race pack collection point near the baggage area if you missed your race pack collection.

There will be no special gym bags for the top 200 runners as well.

I collected my race pack on the second day of collection (mon). I also didnt receive the supposed red/blue/green wrist tag. does that mean i cant participate tmr?

I was thinking of approaching the information desk or the race pack collection booth for overseas runners, to request for a wrist tag. i’m okay with any colour…

Yeap….. i didn’t see the coloured wrist tag inside the racepack leh. There’s only one Yellow colour Livestrong wrist band. The guidebook indicate grouping according to coloured wrist tags to pens, but there isn’t a yellow colour grouping at all. Anyone can help me with this? I am not in Spore during the racepack collection. My fren picked it up for me causing great inconvenience to her. Thanks alot!!:smile:

hi shaun

i know registration for nike+human race is now closed but is there anyway i can still run this race??

thanks!

DT — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:35:52 +0000

Now the coloured wrist tag is something new to me, did i miss anything?
do i get it on race day or race pack collection day?

below extracted from the race guide.

You are required to wear the Nike+ Human Race 10K Tee with the bib number printed on it and your coloured wrist tag to enter the race
2 or race village. Failing to do so will result in disqualification from the race.

thanks

Hi I have sign up for the virtual race. My girlfriend got the reference number for virtual race from nike +. However, I have not receive the reference number. I will wish to get the human race tee and i know this saturday is the collection date. Is there any number i can call to enquire regarding my reference number? I called +65 6291 2019 , however they ask me to email. I had tried email before but no reply. Will greatly appreciate if someone can provide me with some guidance.

Thanks.

Hi, know of anyone who has signed up for the nike run but is not able to attend it due to other commitments? I would really like to run with my running partner (i have already registered) but am not able to do so as registrations are already close. If you know of anyone who would like to give up their spot, please do let me know, of course, i will reimburse the runner.
Thanks!

By: Shaun

Shaun — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:11:38 +0000

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.

By: Shaun

Shaun — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 17:54:17 +0000

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!

By: Shaun

Shaun — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 17:52:54 +0000

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)

ivan — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:11:41 +0000

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!

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.

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!

Shaun — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:29:35 +0000

The news are not out yet on the race expo aka race pack collection. Do check back up when I post it. cheers!

Nope you can just drop down for the free concert, the place is open for all to enjoy, even if you are not running!

When you are there, why not drop a dollar or two in the donation boxes for either of the 3 charities while you are there!
