Core Runners Update!
Due to overwhelming response, registration for Core Runners on 29 July is now officially closed.
For those who still have not sign up for a slot but are dying to do your part for charity, fret not!
Because we still have many time slots available on 5 August! (particularly the 0910 slot)
Once again, to all who have supported us one way or other, thank you! (:

smile for a mile @ njc!
Hello, smile for a mile went to and left njc! our homeground. haha.
And so it was pretty hard to raise funds because there were a plethora of fundraising going on, with the highlight being Mr Yong's 217km death valley attempt. Go Mr Yong! But nonetheless, the chief end was to raise awareness about disability and i think we did a good job guys!
Heartfelt thanks to all the CCAs who came down, watched our skit, and ran the smile. I hope you guys smiled, as much as we did the whole night after the run :)

update 12/07
How is everyone doing! Getting excited over the run?
The police dept has cleared our permit and we're permitted to run on the 29th and 5th! To ensure a safe and well organized run(our 1st time pardon us), we have recced the route and marked out ambiguous points where different pair of feets may take different routes. Mashalls would be deployed at these various points to direct you the best possible route to run. Generally, it is a commonly used running route along the spore river so its pretty safe, save for some areas where one side of the river is more crowded than the other side. The scenery is great, especially with the soft morning sun and fresh breeze spuring you on. The route is about 5km so it'll be a turnabout near Wheelock Place so that we don't cut into the bustling orchard route(though we really wanted to). A waterpoint cum first aid station would be at the nice colourful bridge in the picture there.

Haha. Slightly unprofessional marshalling there.
Below is a copy of the running route. Its abit small so that it can be on one screen. Basically we will start and end at Esplanade Park, along Singapore River, along the main road to Wheelock Place, about turn, and back to Esplanade Park.
Nearer to the run, we'll update you with the final details as well as how to get to the starting point via email.
For now, tell your friends's families and your family's friends to come down to orchard road, toa payoh, or bugis on the 29th and 5th 1130-1700 to support our fundraisers!

Updates 6/7/07
Hello runners,
The flag off timing have been changed- that means from under the scorching sunday sun to an invigorating morning run! This is because the orginal route right through the heart of orchard road on a sunday would not be convenient to our runners as they would have to say "excuse me" between breaths along the entire breadth of orchard.

This is because the orginal route right through the heart of orchard road on a sunday would not be convenient to our runners as they would have to say "excuse me" between breaths along the entire breadth of orchard.
Hence, the new route would be a peaceful one with a river and some greenery still around town area. Once approved (most likely), the route would be posted here.
New Shifts/Flag-off times:
1st Shift: 8.30am
2nd Shift: 9.10am
3rd Shirt: 9.50am
At the same time, we would like to introduce our events tee :)
A charity event like these faces the dilemma of cost vs fund raised. So the tee shirts would not be colour printed to save costs. However, monochrome colour is still colour and the shirt would be drifit for runners printed in black, cotton for fundraisers printed in navy blue.
