Whether you successfully battled the rain on Sunday or if the rain won, you likely emerged from the weekend’s Sundown Marathon with a great story. It was inspiring as RunSociety witnessed many pushing your limits.

The 28,000-strong participants were brought through a scenic route from Nicoll Highway to Marina Bay Sands, Marina Barrage, Gardens by the Bay and the eastern tracks of Singapore in this fifth edition of the Sundown Marathon.

Kudos to the organisers, the race route was refreshing and challenging with enough slopes and new paths. With meticulous planning and attention to details, obstacles and danger spots were well marked-out with light sticks and lamps. Hydration stations were evenly spaced out, offering runners sufficient support throughout the race. Not to mention that there was a movie marathon screening to keep supporters occupied.

Nazri Rahman, 21-year old student from the National University of Singapore, is in his second Sundown Marathon race, nailed it at 3 hours 35 mins.

Definitely a good thing that it was a different route from the past few years. I was getting bored of the coastal route! There were some good race segments where running across the Marina Barrage dam was a nice change. It got a little dangerous at unlit areas, some even pitch dark and narrow paths.

As a whole, except for a few hitches, runners have a little to complain about. Unfortunately, there was confusion at the start point as 21-kilometre and 42-kilometre category runners shared the same flag-off. There were huge balloons that marked out the pacers’ timings but the race queue was barricaded. Everybody had no idea where to enter the queue. The runners just stood around and waited for the security to open the barricades.

The race also saw a huge number of 10-kilometre participants. Kien Mau Lim was first to cross the FINISH line, completing 10 kilometres in a respectable time of 34min 51sec. Singapore’s favourite Anne Date, 31, won the Women’s 10km race in 38mins 8secs.

I am a writer by day, an athlete by night. I love running at night because the streets just become so quiet and peaceful. My active lifestyle includes running, swimming and a passion for soccer. I have completed a few marathons and I enjoy other races like biathlons and urbanthlons. The only reason why I don't do triathlons is bikes are too expensive!
