Both SGRunners joined the online forum in 2007, Eliza in Jan and MoonHub in Dec. Both enjoyed taking part in races, especially shorter races ranging from 10ks to half marathons. So it was not difficult to predict who would come out on top in the 2007/2008 SGRunners Sprint Trophy Challenge. Eliza and MoonHub had each competed and completed 11 running competitive running events between 24 Jun 07 and 23 Jun 08, amassing a total of 165.800 pts and 182.500 pts respectively en route to winning the Women and Men’s Sprint Challenge Trophy. That was 105.950 pts (Eliza) and 53.100 pts (MoonHub) more than their nearest competitors! So what do these two SGRunners enjoy doing in their daily life besides running?

One is from Hong Kong while the other is from Australia. Both joined SGRunners in 2005: Shortlegs (better known as Leggies) on 5 Aug and Richy a few months later on 22 Nov. Since then, they have been actively following threads in the forum as well as exchanging news, ideas and training views with fellow members regularly. And whenever they drop by the city of Singapore for races, they will make sure they catch up with other SGRunners. So, what exactly do they like and how they keep in touch with fellow members?

For someone whose dad and brother used to be inter-school running champs, you would expect Roonz to turn out almost as competent. Fortunately, she was (and still is) more interested in eating than running, and that landed her in the infamous TAF club in secondary school. She didn’t mind at all, because she loved running so she had the best attendance record in the club.

In 2005, she decided that she needed some dates to look forward to: event dates. She started signing up for events, joined the forum, and never looked back since then. Roonz isn’t too interested in timings nor PBs; she believes in having fun, smiling at the cameras and enjoying herself at every race.

For those who take public transport, if you are observant enough, you’ll notice a familiar face from SGRunners while taking the escalators down to the platforms of City Hall or Orchard MRT stations. Yes, although not being the main poster boy for the Adidas / Standard Chartered Marathon poster, you can’t help but noticed his infectious smile at one corner of the poster, or over someone’s shoulder. And I guess not many will be as lucky as me to have a one-on-one date to talk about his love for sports and his dreams.
