Uncle is proud to announce Team sgRunners Excellence Report Card in the Cross-Country Challenge Competition :
Well done, sgRunnersTeams. You are indeed Singapore Elites.
Latest: an excellent re-run by @beast for Team sgRunnersUnited....
We are Top 4 in Singapore/Asia...
Our results range from 47:17 to 1:03:36...and that makes us one of the strongest contention with the Rest of the World for the Global Best.
The Global Challenge has been extended to 30 April.
We hope to be in Global Top 10 with better faster time.
Uncle would like to take this opportunity to bid all here, as well as members of sgRunners Forum, the very best in your future endeavours.
Thank you and bye bye. Uncle is leaving to spend more time on personal pursuits of ultra distances events, as well as attending to National call of duty to serve the Singapore Athletics.

just to update, uncle chong after CNY 15-day celebration...to improve timing...

Wah.. everyone talk SCSM here...future...
indeed, mixed reaction.. world-class if join WMM...sub-standard if SCSM is out of WMM candidacy or even Ironman withdraws or to be offloaded...
QuoteSG does not have many FM race
actually, SG does not really have good marathon races that can appeal to the internationals except SCSM...uncle will not consider even Sundown or 2XU
-
it was just commercial...
because of Ironman suffers losses...offloads by Wanda Sports...as well as Covid-19 Pandemic when many Triathlon events are cancelled...
It was no surprise...SCSM 2020 Virtual Grand Finale...
you get such crappy finisher medal...
It is about time for Singapore Marathons Series...to reflect and consider...to offload Ironman...as Organiser!

Attention sgRunners Teams, be prepared for this...
QuoteMost points = Champion Country!

Latest Results from Team sgRunners2021. We completed and finished as Rank #2. Congratulations.

uncle expects SCSM 2021 shall have Virtual Marathon with almost same price as before with crappy entitlements....with no add-ons option...sponsors' items...inluding tee and others like shoe bags etc..
and we pay on the expenses for our DIY virtual race nutrition and hydration needs...yes, toilet/washroom needs....of course, now no more embarrassment to "Drink Water from Toilet" because it is FOC option...
however, uncle notices Virtual Race popular routes are getting more congested due to besides runners, Bikers also shared the same footpaths or even PCNs...uncle also use Cycling path because there are simply too many walkers/runners on Runners' Lanes...
hence, finding less crowded/congested race routes become a challenge...and "secret" ...
coming March '21, uncle has expected at least weekly Virtual Race of 10K, HM and Marathon...
Japan...10K, 16K, HM and Marathon
Italy..HM (to be completed by Feb 28)
Cyprus..Marathon
Australia..3 x marathons Challenge
left with 1. Great Ocean Road Running Festival 23KM...
remembering in 2020...Australia...Completed this one...
finisher medal was received 2 weeks ago....
and 10K Relay (on-going)
new Team sgRunnersFinal4! (4 x 10KM Relay)
Looking forward to March 2021....not forgettng...SCSM Virtual Club Leaderboard....500KM/month...target...

uncle shall share a "lobang" for those who wants to be "marathon" ready..and wants to be challenged for "Global Marathon challenge" in 2021...
in 2020, AWMM Global Run Club offered Virtual Challenges...
and Virtual Race..
Expect that in 2021...
there will be Olympic Marathon + 6 WMM events packed from August to November...
Virtual Challenges...
Virtual Challenge vs Virtual Race - Multiple submissions vs Single submission (within 24-hour with no pause on running app)...
Be Prepared, Be Motivated, Be Challenged...
Possibly, SCSM 2021 [Final Finale] will offer a Marathon Virtual [Challenge] or Virtual [Race] or Run [Limited to Waves] over the weekend [Dec 3-5]...
Latest from AbbottWMM on Virtual Races...
what it means to uncle...
in 2020...uncle was officially ranked "Virtual" Race in Age Group Category...Autumn Marathon 2020 Virtual Race (Single Submission)
May 2021...uncle registered AbbottWMM Global Marathon 2021 Virtual Race (Single Submission)
and with the registration of Oct 3, 2021
and register this one in Nov 7 (scheduled) soon...
which uncle took part in 2020...
of course, uncle is always waiting for announcement at BAA Athletes' Village for this one...
Looks like Virtual Race Entry for AbbottWMM Age Group Ranking is very likely for the following soon...
Well, because of Covid-19 Pandemic (2020-2021), Rules of Virtual Races have become the Norm even in AbbottWMM series...

Interesting Question: What if Team sgRunners (any of the 3 Teams) qualify or was invited or through lucky draw was picked to go to Australia?
All members of the 3 Teams will be invited to join, regardless if one of the chosen Team sgRunners was picked by the Organizer.
So, when you run in this Global Virtual Challenge, just think, if you are competing in Australia virtually now, how would you want to run along side the Rest of the World? Run fast fast lah?
4 Weeks to go...
Yes, Team sgRunnersFinal4! shall be as a Reserve Team after March 7...Invitations only...
Finally...
Lobang: Only for those who have been following uncle in this forum thread...and Dear Team Members:

uncle who had made previous posts on this event, and with the following updates made...
Kudo credited : International runners from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia will be entitled for free mail delivery service.
The shortfall : There will be those who sign-up for the Virtual Run in 2021 who will get discount for the next physical run...and many new entrants are from both Local and Overseas for the next physical run...
Yes, Pink Apple has the financial means because they have built up "loyalty" in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
For those who have signed up, enjoy up to maximum of 6 submissions...initially Virtual Race [1 submission] which has become Virtual Challenge [multiple submissions]...
submissions start from April 26...according to updates from FB.
Congratulations on your finisher entitlements and a free entry for the next physical run.
The next physical run will be a new normal of future races with Covid-19 Safe Event Management. Again when that happens, we still don't know.
