Candice, Runner:
Waking up at 4am was such a chore. Cab down to Singapore flyer at 5 plus with xaby, grace and vyvyan. At 7.10am, the race began. We started off well. We split into small groups and run together. We chatted with each other while walking briskly. It a nice weather and not so humid. We felt the accomplishment after combing each kilometre.
At the last 1km, we jog fast and at around 500m, we sprint through the last 500m. The moment I reach the finishing line was to grab drinks. We wait for others to come back and met those who finished. Then Rui En and her manager came to talk to us. Rui En started a funny conversation and said, “You all Okays a not? Your face like want to die like that! †It was super hilarious! She is rushing off due to filming later on.
We went for early lunch at Marina Square. All runners already got the sians face by the end of lunch! I enjoyed the race! Xaby already thinking of participating again next year!

Phyllis, Coordinator for Supporters:
Waking up at 4am to support my friends and idol for a run is certainly something I have never done before until Nike Human Race 2009.
It was quite tiring and the hot weather didn’t help either.
However i enjoyed watching the runners pass the finishing line and it was great to be there to give them my support!
Plus I realised that organising people together for an event isn’t as easy as it seems.
There is planning and stuff to be done but I enjoyed it and hopefully the other did too!
Even though I am not a runner, but I am glad that I am able to cheer them on and give them my moral support!
