I think the confusion doesn't come from NEA, but from the organizer who initially say that they will be using the PSI index as the gauge to determine if the event will still carry on. But closer to the flag iff, when the PSI is at the unhealthy range, they switch to using the PM 2.5 reading at normal as the gauge to decide that the race will proceed. This has happened to the Yellow Prison Run and now Batman run. Agree that the decision of the organizer to go ahead with the planned run as far as possible, having seen all the efforts of putting the run together not gone to waste. To avoid miscommunication, they should just say they will make the final decision at a pre determined time, without saying what gauge they will use beforehand. -

When I did my run this year, I stay at Hanzomon area, on the other side of Imperial Palace from the finishing area. I found it quite nice, not too far from either start line or finish line. The marathon started at 9am? at Shinjuku area, so you don't have to really wake up in ungodly hours like in normal SG running event. -
Different people have different opinions. Stay near finish line - walk less after the run. Stay near start line - more control of time in case overslept or other situations. I always choose stay near start line.

The one peculiar thing I noticed from this race was that a lot of the crew were PRC aunties and uncles. I'm not sure how that come to pass but they were manning the hydration points at the barrage and along the routes as marshals. It was obvious from their accent that they were PRC. I thought it was a wasted opportunity that Pink Apple din go all out and installed a Bat signal at the top of the barrage. That would have been an awesome site against the slightly hazy night sky. And now imagine the F1 helicopter picking up the Bat signal on the F1 coverage and broadcasting the Bat Signal over the Singapore Skyline all over the world. For one night, Singapore would have been Gotham! -
I think NEA was quite clear in its guidelines. There is no confusion. People confused themselves by referring to other index like AQI etc. Use the 24 hrs PSI for planning activities you planned to do later on. eg. have a picnic at the Barrage in the late morning or early afternoon. Use the 1hr PM2.5 reading for activities you planned to do now. That would include going for a run. Or brisk walk etc. SOURCE: https://www.haze.gov.sg/
