I had a great time doing the Lovers Challenge in the NTU National Vertical Marathon last year. It was my first VM and I did not know what to expect. Luckily, there were other SGRunners there to either lend support or to participate in the event. I enjoyed it thoroughly. This year, I decided to be a spectator. I made a short trip down to Raffles Place, Republic Plaza on 25 Feb Sunday, to check out the couples attempting the Lovers Challenge this time round.

Read more about these 3 lovely couples in this short but exclusive interviews.

A contingent of almost 60 SGRunners took part in the 2nd edition of the Great Eastern Pacesetter 30km Race on 21 Jan 2007, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Some drove up in their cars, while others ride on a tour bus. And there was also a group who chose to take the KTM train.

Majority of the SGRunners took part in the 30km event while a handful attempted the shorter 20km race. There were also a few supporters like kickjazz who went all the way up just to cheers for the SGRunners. All in all, it was a great event with lots of time for makan, shopping and catching up with each other. Read more about the review of this race by our very own ironmandreamer (IMD).
