PAR Relay 2021 @ Metropolitan Park

There are many attractive features with team relay runs - shorter distances, team spirit, competition and speed - and you can rely on the Pacemakers for their Anniversary Relay Series for that... and more. 

A total of 75 teams (comprising 5 runners in each team) turned up for the run.

Our team, Five Stars on The Run showed up early at 6:30am and made ourselves proud by finishing in 36th place. 

I’m still a long way from my fitness level pre-pandemic with more in-person races returning, I’m motivated to lose some weight, commit to training and push myself to greater heights in my next race … watch this space.

Allianz Pacesetter 4x3km Relay

Last Saturday saw a huge turnout of runners at Padang Merbok for the Allianz Pacesetters 4x3km relay. According to the organizer, the number of participants this year was unprecedented with a surge in the mixed category.

The 3km course around Padang Merbok is of a moderately high degree of difficulty. The first kilometer was hilly and some runners were caught off guard. They were defeated by the rolling hills, as they were seen walking along Jalan Tun Ismail in an effort to catch their breath.

I participated in the mixed team (Category C) event. Our team name was Relay-ist winners. The fact that all four team members + an invited runner came together early morning on a Saturday, cheered each other on and waited until the last person (that would be me) from the team to cross the finish line and complete the race - it tasted like victory for us

The realist winners: Eva, Cheng Yee, Danny, Queen and CK
