Live Great Run Is Back!
Zaini and I (and a friend) were lucky enough to be invited to a dinner on June 25th, at Intercontinenal Hotel by Great Eastern team, in appreciation of the support given towards the Live Great Run last year and to kick start Live Great Run 2013.

Mingling around before the start of the event. I was completely awestruck being in the same room as these veterans (running and blogging wise, not age. ehem). I am so not worthy...
Chatter, chatter, laugh laugh, posed for photos and stuff.

Listening attentively to the emcee, Ms Wong Fong Yee; the Assistant Manager of Brand and Communications. Fong Yee is an avid runner herself, and has run four full marathons! RESPECT!

Followed by a welcome address by Ms GG Kam, the VP & Head of Marketing & Customer Management.
Then, we were shown some slides, higlighting key points of the race:

The Live Great Run is interesting compared to other road races as it has hurdles along the 12km route that test runners' endurance. JUMP runners JUMP!
For 3km runners, runners are required to team up with loved ones and don an oversized double t-shirt for the run! Fun wor. But don't quarrel with each other while running, OK! LOL

The Run also hold an interesting contest through Twitter and Instagram. My Twitter and Instagram addict friends, what are you waiting for? *wink wink*

There are other prizes offered too for those running in the 3km category. Time to show off your dance moves? Or running with your grand dad, maybe? Or dust off that funky headgear you had stashed away in your cupboard? xD
errr... organiser. How about us crazy ones with headgears running in the 12km category? No chance ah? :P
We were then treated to a scrumptious buffet dinner. The food was GOOD and aplenty! Great Eastern team is sure generous.
Oh yeah, Ms GG Kam assured us that there will be taufoofah waiting for runners after their run, just like last year. So, no worries yeah. Taufoofah will be waiting for you! (I looooooove taufoofah)

DeleteTFF is good what. Protein source. Hahaha
Free race entry is awesome but im not joining this one as I've already signed up for another race. But I already offered them to running friends. :-)
I had to Google taufoofah. Oh! It's that white stuff that you always get at the end of a Chinese meal (here in Tokyo anyway). I had no idea what it was called, but I always steal The Hero's. :D
ReplyDeletePS: I'll run (OK walk) a marathon just for the chance to dig into that buffet!
You haven't seen all the spread! Hmmm maybe I should do another post, just to show off what was served that night *rub hand in glee* ;-)
DeleteOpted out of this last year cos of the obstacles and will opt out again this year. Not really keen with obstacles in a race. All the best though.
ReplyDeleteAfter listening to those who did it last year, it does sound fun though. :-D
DeleteWow. From interview to running events ^ ^
ReplyDeleteI wish run events here serve taufufah too but they don't even have milo van :(
What???! No Milo Van? *storm away in a huff* :-D
