SCMS 2010 - Aftermath
5th Dec 2010 - the day where sporting world get a closer look on how the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore going to fare. We were fearing for the worst as any major hiccups will put the event a bad image. To think that this event was broadcasted live in the wee hours of the morning.
I was stationed at Orchard where the full marathoners will be starting at 5am. Runners started to come in at around 3.30am where they deposited their baggages. 1 hour before the race start, the queue gets longer but runners waited patiently to deposit their baggage. Singaporeans very kiasu and very obedient.
The race started at 5am sharp but the runners were not complaining despite the long queue. Amazing! By 5.30am, our area is settled and not a single complain was raised at us. And we start to head back to F1 Pit building for all runners to retrieve their bags.
By the time the event end, it was a major success that Singapore able to host an international marathon with 3 different starting points. The only issue were the distance from Padang to F1 Pit building to retrieve the bags and the oversized tee-shirt issued to runners after they completed the race.
Next year, I will try something new before deciding whether to be in the same position again in 2012.
