StandChart Marathon


Exams finally end le!!!

After all the mugging, must be time for some fun right? =D



Our very first event after exams ended is...
The Standard Chartered Marathon! 
(FYI: the SCM has 3 races: 10km, 21km & full marathon (42.125km). This mega project requires alot of manpower. It started as an unknown event in 2008 and has become a yearly affair for Singaporean runners.)

The whole orientation committee went down to the event, not as runners but as volunteers! It was a good way for us to not only have fun and bond overnight together, but also to help canvass money for camp, and to show support for OC members who went to run the marathon!!

 Our group was assigned to the water point and we were required to reach at 11pm the night before. We started unpacking the boxes from night till early morning when the race would start. Take a look at our pics below and see how we spent the night together~

We finished unpacking the bottles of water...
(and of course sat around chatting, htht-ing, playing games while doing that =D)

...and poured them into cups

Just look at the number of cups we lined up to be filled! (and this is only just the start @@)

Uncapping all the bottles so that we can fast-fast refill all the cups!
(Unity in teamwork~)

Happy and tired... waiting for the race to start


The race started le!!! sooo many runners!
"Quick!! Get your drinks before you run out!!"

I have to admit this was a tiring event, but nonetheless a good experience. We had lots of fun working together through the night~

Lastly, to all runners: hope you guys had fun and achieved your targets! 
See you guys next year!
