This was our 2^nd time running at this park and we like this park a lot. However, the park is no longer that nice as there is construction going on and on that day itself there was a fishing competition.  So it was super crowded, even without the running event.

The event started off with Zumba exercises. The emcee was asking the runners to be at the centre of the field, where the stage was. We were supposed to be flagged off at 7.45am but were only flagged off at 8.15am and most of the runners started running before they officially flagged off. Perhaps due to the reason that most runners were already growing impatient and by just looking at the tiny balloon arch that hundreds of runners were supposed to go through, it was enough to make you ignore it.

When we were officially flagged off, Barney greeted us while the runners crashed the balloon arch and popped the balloons. Not sure why Barney, perhaps could not find a green dinosaur in accordance to their theme! 

The park was too crowded and you couldn't even run. You could only walk. When we arrived at the water station, there were not enough staff to serve the isotonic drink 100+, so some runners took the 100+ bottle and started pouring for themselves and the other runners. We were given a pathetic small little cup (the size of the kid’s cough syrup mixture cup) for the drink. I was like “What?”!

So difficult to get your drinks

Cup so small, drink what?

As we were approaching the lake, there were a lot of people at the lake, fishing to win prizes and the path for running was wet.

After passing the lake, it was the finishing line and the queue was long just to collect our goody bag. There was not many staff helping out in the event. 

I personally have to say that the event was not organised properly! Not many sponsors for this event and we had to buy our own Milo, if you feel like drinking it. We did not stay back for the colouring for kids and lucky draw.
