FAQs
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Q: What is the expected pace?
A: The group naturally tends to split into a front group and a rear group. The front group runs at approximately 5:30 min/km, while the slower group is more flexible at around 6:30 min/km. The rear group will always accommodate and wait for other runners, as long as they are running.
Q: Is this run suitable for beginners?
A: Yes, as long as you are confident you can run the full advertised distance for the week's run without needing to stop to walk.
Q: Are there designated pacers?
A: We sometimes have official pacers. Pacers (if any) will be announced during the briefing.
Q: Is there a bag drop?
A: No, there is no bag drop service. Our road runs are point-to-point (we run from A to B and do not return to the start), so please only bring what you are comfortable running with.
Q: How do we get back from the end point?
A: We always plan our routes to end near an MRT station or a major bus interchange, ensuring you have a convenient way to get home.
Q: Are there water points along the route?
A: Availability of public water coolers varies with each route. We recommend bringing your own water. There are usually convenience stores along the way where you can purchase a drink if needed.
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: This is a rain-or-shine event. In the case of heavy rain, we may delay the start by up to 10 minutes to see if the weather improves, but the run will not be cancelled.
Q: What should I bring with me?
A: Please wear comfortable running attire suitable for Singapore's humid climate. We also recommend bringing a payment method (for our optional group breakfast), and your phone.
Q: Is breakfast a group activity?
A: Yes, all runners are welcome to join for breakfast at a nearby eatery after the run. It's a great way to refuel and socialise, but it's completely optional.
