The upcoming races in Singapore

Zoo Run 2012
The Zoo Run was held today at Mandai and the MR 25 Club will be doing a trial, at 5pm, today.

The zoo run consists of 2.8km for the children under 12 and 6km fun run for all those above 12. Children between the ages of 4 and 8 are to run with an adult. This is a race in itself. For adults men and women and veteran runners, there is 12km race for them.

MR 25 - 5km Time Trial
From the past, the MR 25 Club has been conducting the 5km time trial every 2months. Anyone who does 25min are allowed to join the club. The run is conducted at MacRitchie Reservoir. They follow the boys' route of the former National Schools' Cross-Country Championships race, except that the run is run through the forest route rather than road and tarmac route.

Hong Kong Marathon 2012
I am relying on Shahruddin, a Malaysian runner representing Malaysia to inform me of the details of the race. The race route is 42.195km with at least 10 uphills and downhills to run and race. Flexifitness wishes Shahruddin all the best for the race in Hong Kong.
