Run, take picture, walk, chat, talk to people, view scenery, etc. Enjoy the run.
Then soak in the Atlantic Ocean right beside the Fontainbleau Hotel Miami Florida for a short while.

RAW 6.4

11 Sep is the Farewell Run. Per some suggestions from fellow runners,
you are encouraged to turn up in the Motorola hotrunner luminous
yellow tank top for the event.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvPttewDA90

RAW event:
For this Run, we plan to structure a race like no other for those who
love to go beyond just being there. This race is 6.4km in distance.
All are welcome to join. Competitive entries will be eligible for
prize. This is a raw race... minimal logistics and at participants
risk. The basis is that slower runners will be given a head start
(like golf's handicap system) and have a high probability to end
photo-finish with the fastest runner who is catching up from behind.

We have a few category of start times which we will slot the runners
in. The preliminary list of frequent runners are listed in their
pre-determined "start-time" categories. Details below. If you want to
participate, we take entries up to 5:40pm on Tuesday and the
assessment board will assign the "start time" category.

This Farewell Run will end with a group dinner at the roti prata
place. All are welcomed.
Categories:
5:50pm: May, Poon, Aik Lan
5:54pm: Edmund,Dennis, Jason
6:00pm: Mark, Yip Yew Seng, Hei Tong, Jimmy Ng
6:03pm: Margerate, Melissa, Poh, Lawrence Khoo, Vincent Toh, Gan, Kay How, Randy Tan
6:07pm: Eric Tee, Wil Tan, Lau Cheng Huat, Bokz, Edwin

As with the handicap system, all will have a strong chance to be part
of the top 5 prize winners.
This is one race which you can actually have a chance win.

2012-Sep-11 Hot-Runners 6.4km raw run cum MMI farewell event

A total of 25 Hot-Runners turned up for today's 6.4km raw run cum farewell run for some MMI folks.

The whole group were divided in different groups (waves) of runners. The slower runners get to start first. After 5 minutes the next group will start running. The fastest runners will start last. The Top 5 runners to cross the finishing line get a present each.

After dinner, the group went for group dinner at the Upper Thomson / Yio Chu Kang Rd junction restaurant.

Everyone totally ENJOY the run and companionship today! Look at all those HAPPY faces.

Run for Health, Run for Fun, Run for Life. Cheers....
