Two years ago, I did the fun run so I could take more photos. Last year, I joined the 5k run. This year, I took a step better in running for the 10K. It has been a meaningful run nonetheless and of course, I wanted to better my personal best of 77 minutes. However, I failed to beat my time but I still had fun and finished the race.

Once again, it was another successful event organised by Standard Chartered Brunei and I’ve always been a great support for SCB Half-Marathon. This year more than 6,000 runners participated and there were four categories: 21km, 10km, 5km and 2.5km.

The theme was “Run For A Reason” and everyone had his or her reasons for participating and running. There was a special tribute from a group of runners who dedicated their run in honour of the late Captain Ismael Dato Seri Setia Hj Samid. It was also great to see participation from cancer patients and also a blade runner from Singapore.

I’ll just share some of the photos from last Sunday and enjoy!!! Thank you Nurul for some of the pictures.

A stronger cancer fighter Redzky Fadzillah who ignored doctors’ advice and finished the 10km run. What a great inspiration for others!!
