fuck stanchart marathon road closure which started at 1.30pm today
- Thread starter hokkienboy
- Start date
Those finisher tees are given with the registration packs or after the race at the finish line?KNN the funniest part is seeing all the bui ji wearing their too tight "finisher" t-shirt and munching away on snacks after the event KNN.
I suspect many of those fat fucks wearing these tees never finish their race
As long as they have participated and taken photos of themselves for sharing on social media, it's all good.

SINGAPORE: This year's Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon was moved from the morning to the evening so that more people could join in, said Singapore's national sports agency on Thursday (Dec 5).
Sport Singapore (SportSG)'s response came amid widespread complaints about traffic jams in the city area during the race, which was held last Saturday evening.

In response to CNA's queries, SportSG Chief Executive Officer Lim Teck Yin apologised for those caught up in the traffic and said they would learn from this for subsequent races.
Explaining the decision to shift the race time to the evening, he said this was done so more people could take part.
"The shift from the dead of early morning to the energy of the evening was made to enable more Singaporeans to join in this exceptional platform event," he said, adding that more than 100,000 people had turned out this year to cheer on the runners.
"Holding an evening race of this scale in densely populated Singapore is an ambitious endeavour," he added, detailing the measures taken by authorities to alert people about the race's new time.
SportSG had engaged stakeholders since the end of last year and conducted detailed traffic studies to mitigate the impact of road closures, said Mr Lim.
Information was shared with affected businesses in early January, and the authorities announced six months in advance of the race date that it would be held in the evening.
In November, SportSG stepped up publicity regarding road closures and encouraged members of the public to take public transport, said the chief executive officer.
On the day of the race, auxiliary police were deployed to help direct traffic to alternative routes, he added.
"We will incorporate this year's lessons for subsequent races," he said.
This year's race was held for the first time at night.
The new evening format was part of the organiser's bid to further the appeal of the race and improve the marathon's chances of being inducted into the Abbott World Marathon Majors, a series of the largest and most renowned marathons.

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon ranked among world’s worst
Coconuts Singapore
5 December 2019
The running event blamed for causing unusually heavy traffic jams across downtown Singapore last weekend has now been ranked among the world’s worst, according to a new survey.
The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon, held Friday through Sunday, was heavily criticized for closing nearly 90 roads and lanes, leaving motorists stuck in hours-long jams. But now, less than a week since, the event has been named the third worst such event in the world for reasons that had nothing to do with its impact on public order.
The survey by UK shoe retailer The Sole Supplier yesterday ranked the race 79th out of 81 marathons certified by the International Association of Athletics Federations around the world, scoring only 4.18 out of 10.
Each marathon was scored based on factors like average finish times, the number of medical stations, toilets, entry fees, and local hotels. The survey also looked at environmental conditions like air quality, rainfall, altitude, and temperature.
Marathons held in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and New Delhi had the dirtiest air, with pollution scores above 100. By comparison, the marathons with the cleanest air had pollution scores under 15.
Asia also has some of the world’s slowest marathon runners, the survey found.
Standard Chartered’s Kuala Lumpur Marathon, for example, is said to be the slowest marathon in the world, with an average finish time of 5:41:47, nearly two hours off of Denmark’s H C Anderson Marathon, where runners are considered to be the fastest, finishing on average at 3:51:22 – or around 11 minutes per kilometer.
Other slow runners can be found at the BDMS Bangkok Marathon in Thailand (5:21:18), Angkor Empire Marathon in Cambodia (5:13:28) and Skechers Performance Chennai Marathon in India (5:11:27), according to the survey.

It's silly that the participants wear these event tees in wet markets or shopping malls, in everyday life.
armpit very smelly.
As I said SJW left winger. They are the atas arty farty type that want the whole world to know what they do and the whole world to follow and do what they do.
Please lah just leave us alone ok? You want to run? Go run at the park on your own lah. Why must run in a huge group? For what? Just running. What's so special?
All for show right? Want to boast run how far how fast.
Like those pride parades also.
Minority group but want to act like big fucks. Boast all over. Demand this demand that. Everyone must kowtow to them.
Fuck lah.
