Flexifitness Website for Important Races 
 
We have already seen the Xiamen marathon 2012 course record being broken. Some of the races to be updated are in Flexifitness Website. I hope that this will help passionate runners to keep themselves updated in Singapore and the world over for those who want to run Singapore races, especially.   www.runningcoachsg.com

I realised that there are some important races for Singaporeans and around the world to consider or to be aware of. I have posted some

Figure 1- Mumbai Marathon 2012


MUMBAI: The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon to be held on Jan 15 in Mumbai, will be attracting top athletes from Kenya and Ethiopia. Top among them will be Bernard Koskei of Kenya and Siraj Gena of Ethiopia.

But the fastest among them is William Kipsang who has a 2:05 to his name. Gena, though is in top form, having clocked 2:08 in Frankfurt in October. The race starts for marathoners at 5: 40am and 7:25am for Elite runners. Samir Bhandari who has lost 10kg for this race will be running in this race.

Safari Zoo Run 2012 - 05/02/2012

Take note that Race Entry Pack will be held on 14 -15 Jan 2012 at Velocity@Novena Square. Participants are requested to bring their IC for speedy collection. Those who are not able to make are to bring a copy of ic for the person that they are collecting. We would suggest one to sign and endorse the signature before giving to those collecting on one's behalf. I am pondering whether to put Ashley in this run.

Hong Kong Marathon 2012 - 05/02/2012 Mok Ying Ren and Ang Chee Yong may be representing Singapore for this race, according to one SAA official.
