Mystery solved lo.. copy paste this year's June 1st/2nd date to next year's race but forgot to change June 2nd to May 24th -
Well, let's recollect what Sundown once said in 2018 then for 2019: We shall aim to have IAAF-sanctioned race by 2020? According to citings from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAAF_Road_Race_Label_Events The Labels are assessed and awarded each year. Race organisers have to apply to the IAAF for recognition, and show that their race can meet a number of criteria. The criteria vary for the different levels; Gold Labels have the strictest requirements, followed by Silver, then Bronze. All three categories require what the IAAF describes as an international elite field, that requires at least five nations (four for Bronze) to be represented by runners with times faster than the IAAF's guidelines. Additionally, the race course must be closed to vehicular traffic, and measured to the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) standard, with full electronic timing used to generate the results. The race must be organised in a way that minimizes ecological damage to the surrounding areas. A specified number of doping tests must be carried out, and prize money for the participants should be equal, irrespective of gender or nationality, though additional rewards can be given to runners from the host nation. So, Sundown Marathon, under which IAAF Road Race Label will be aiming? Gold, Silver, Bronze, Platinum or Brass, Copper, Zinc, Water?

wah.... very hard to describe cause there are many variables for me... let me just start the ball rolling first... 1. mileage --> usually I like to run the HM cause it is not too long or short... but I do train for FM ... 2. preferred running route --> East Coast Park or Upper.Lower Pierce Reservoir or Punggol Waterway 3. mostly easy runs if not training for races, easy, tempo, LSD when training for races... (Intervals are just too damaging for my injury-prone legs)... 4. no specific tips on running gear, just wear what u feel comfortable with 5. My Archilles Tendonitis has been with me since 2014 and i am trying hard to manage it, but it seemed to be coming back after my SCSM 2019. -
