What a spectacle!! Around 30,000 runners participated in this year’s Sundown Marathon 2013 and it was such a great atmosphere to see the thousands in attendance. Image courtesy of Official Sundown Marathon Singapore Facebook page.
We managed to get our race pack a few hours before the race. This was for the late minute collectors. I thought this is a brilliant idea especially for those who are foreigners.
It was a great to see a lot of Bruneians participating compared to last year. I salute him for running the full marathon!! For you info, there are quite a number of them who ran the full marathon!!
My jogging buddy Fina back in Brunei and though we didn’t train as much but both of us managed to complete the race and that was more important
Lisa maybe be gutted that the Borneo Marathon didn’t happen early May hence completing the half marathon was a great achievement and she was emotionally happy after crossing the finishing line
Lisa striking a pose a few hours before the race
There are a lot of activities including Zumba!!
It was Zumba heaven and it drew more crowd as it got closer to the race
Fina and Lisa were pretty nervous before the race
Hats off to the volunteers that help to make the run more exciting and run smoothly. They deserve the recognition.

Lots of stretching at the 13km mark!! This was also when my battery ran out of juice :/

More than 7,000 people are expected to participate in the Pusat Ehsan’s Charity Run 2013, which is being held for the second consecutive year aimed to raise funds to support the activities at the centre. The run will be held on June 9, and it starts and ends at the Indoor Stadium in Berakas.
Speaking at the press conference last week, Dato Paduka Mohd Alimin bin Abd Wahab, the chairman of the The Run, said that the press conference was to focus on the arrangement for the collection of running kits, the submission of donation cards, routes for The Run and the role of Brunei Darussalam Athletic Association (BAA), the official competent authority on athletics. The meeting was held at Orchid Garden Hotel (OGH) in Berakas.
Dato Paduka Mohd Alimin said, “We wish to reiterate that the collection of running kits for participants/runners will take place at the Indoor Stadium and not at the Multipurpose Hall as originally planned. The times and dates for collection of these kits are as follows – Thursday, June 6, at 9am to 9pm; Friday, June 7, at 9am to 12noon and 2pm to 9pm; and Saturday, June 8, 9am to 9pm.
The organising committee of The Run
Participants and runners are urged to submit their donation cards at the collection centre before proceeding to their respective counters to collect their running kits. In the interest, among others, of the final audit, the return of donation cards is compulsory on collection of the running kits. He said donation cards from collectors/non-runners/ non-participants are to be returned by May 31 with the bank deposit receipts to the designated outlets from where or whom they received the donation cards. Lost donation cards, bank deposit receipts or money must be reported to the police and an original copy of the police report must be provided to Pusat Ehsan.
The organising committee of Pusat Ehsan Charity Run 2013 has also appointed Hj Yahya bin Hj Sirat, the Secretary General of BAA as The Run Race Director.
He also announced that OGH has been appointed as the official hotel partner for Pusat Ehsan’s Charity Run 2013.
In conjunction with the event, OGH will be offering its hospitality package for two-day and one-night room stay for two persons. The package is valid for check-in on July 8 only and the package includes a carbo-loading buffet dinner.
“We always try and do our part in supporting the community and work with Pusat Ehsan on an annual basis. As the official hotel, we will also be supporting the event by sending some of our staff to participate in different categories of the run itself. We have been working with Pusat Ehsan for a number of years now, not just with The Run, but with other events as well. Our next proposed event will be the ‘Nasi Briyani Amal’ for the upcoming Ramadhan,” said Shamsul Bahrin Pehin Dato Dr Hj Ahmad, General Manager of Orchid Garden Hotel. The categories for The Run are 21km Male and Female Open; 12km Male and Female Open; 12km Male and Female Veteran Open; 5km Male and Female Open; 2.5km Fun Run, which is open to all and OBK (people with special needs).
The Run flag-off time will be at 5.30am for 21 km, 6am for 12km, 6.15am for 5km, 6.30am for 2.5km 6.45am for OBK. The inaugural event last year was a huge success with more than 5,000 participants turning up for the charity event.

The top three local runners will receive trophy and cash prizes. He also explained that this event would not have been possible without the support, assistance and advice of its partners, donors, sponsors and volunteers.
The Run is part of Pusat Ehsan’s annual project blessed by its Board of Trustees and sanctioned by the Ministry of Home Affairs to provide opportunities for the public and corporate sector to make donations to the centre. The funds will be used to finance the operational programmes in learning, vocation and rehabilitation for special needs students. It is also to encourage the development of a positive mindset among the active youths and families blending sports with charity in promoting a healthy community.
On the issue of volunteers, Dato Paduka Mohd Alimin highlighted, “We may need about 800 volunteers and most of them will be students from the sixth form centres. This is to ensure that the event runs smoothly.” The Brunei Amateur Athletics Association meanwhile estimates that they will need some 100 volunteers.
