Safari Zoo Run 2012


My first run of the year.It was 12 KM race.Last year this race was cancelled due to heavy rain so i was very eager and excited to run inside the zoo.We woke up 5AM and got buses(2 transfers) and reached the starting point around 7:40AM , but the first wave of 12KM was already started.So i waited for second one.

The race started on time i.e 7:45AM.We ran inside 'Night safari' but on day time.The first animal i spotted was rhinoceros,a beauty.I was running in my comfort pace,did not try to over do anything.Then giraffes, mountain goats,lions and some other animals were on the race route, really a scenic race route.After around 4 or 5KM, we entered to Singapore zoo, another beautiful route.Most of the exhibits were yet to be open,still it was a wonderful experience to run inside the zoo.We ran 2 loops of 6KM each to complete the race.I finished the race less than 1 hr and without any injury.It was a good start to my racing calendar.
Scenic race route..

More than 7000 runners participated in this race and raised nearly SGD 80,000/- .Well done friends.Another important people to thank were the volunteers, you guy were amazing and cheerful,hats off!!
