Safra Tampines Location Run

I was deciding between going for Tampines Safra location run, or a Sundown Marathon familiarization run organized by the SGRunners. Tampines was organizing a 14km along the newly opened park connectors in the eastern side, which was also part of the Sundown route. It was probably more difficult to try that route on my own. So I went to Tampines early in the morning. It was a lively social run with many Safra runners. Many took the chance to chat with fellow runners along the way.

The route went past Bedok Reservoir and across the PIE to the park connectors towards Kembagan and Siglap. We stopped at several key junctions for the big group to gather and take photos. The multiple stops made the 14km feel like a tempo run. At the u-turn point at Kembagan, a few Tampines runners set up a water station to supply chocolate-flavoured Endurox to the group. It tasted sort of like diluted Milo.

After the run, Sam conducted a cool down stretching session. A group of us then followed Adam, our F&B manager, to a nearby hawker centre for yummilicious braised pork ribs noodles. Excellent!
