hi,
Venue is at Sentosa this year, just checked hometeam website.
http://www.hometeamns.sg/index.cfm?GPID=379
cheers
Ok, I will confirm with them, because apparently I was told from their calandar of events that it’s at Changi.
so is the real run over already for 2008? cos i read it that it was held in 19 july or smthing! if not, is the 19th oct for real??
No worries 🙂
From hometeam site info,
it seem that the run is exclusive to hometeam, real run member, etc; i.e. Not open to public. 🙁
Mmm yes, that may give a hint or two of it being a closed event, because I am quite puzzled how they are able to host such a big event with in Sentosa now with most of the area under major construction now.
Having it at Changi again will seem to be the most logical choice now.
You mean the real run is only for member and not for public??? I am still waiting to register myself for this run…
The hometeam site is talking about a prep race on 19 July that is only for hometeam etc members. That’s held at Sentosa. The actual race webbie has not been updated yet.

lols.. i would prefer a black 1 instead of green =P
Hey all the news are official. My dates on the 19th October are confirmed together with the venue at Changi exhibition center. Registrations are open as well!
For some reason, I’m having a problem registering for this run! I can’t seem to get my confirmation slip even after it stated that my payment was successful, and yet I cannot complete the eighth step of my registration process online.
Hey im encountering the same problem too! =x
my payment was succesful and when i checked at the competitors area, it says no registration found. tsk tsk. how uh?
Hey Shaun,
Just wanted to ask, do guys and girls run together or are they separated like at the Standard Chartered run? What is the trail part of the run like?
Hey Hazel, girls and guys will start off together. I do not recall stand chart having a gender segregation either though.
Runners are all flagged off by categories, not based on their gender. The trail part is largely an open field, based on the photos on their website and what I recall from last year’s race.
