Air Force Run 2018
It was 22 December.
And it was the last run of the year … errr, for me anyway =)
You see, I am not a naturally self-motivated runner.
So signing up to this running event motivates me to exercise regularly and run on treadmills, haha.
(Just so that I won’t shamefully collapse half way the 5km run, … yes, and it’s ONLY 5km!)
Here are a few things to share:
– Fee
We signed up as a group of 5 to get the promo deal of Rp170,000 per runner (otherwise, it’d cost Rp200,000 per runner, for the 5K race)
– The race packs were supposed to be mailed to everyone.
The organiser was either overwhelmed by the registration or was badly managed, because we only received our race packs at 6pm, a day before the race. Some of our friends didn’t get it in the mail, so they had to queue and get theirs on the actual day.
– Parking
We didn’t know where exactly was the starting point, so we parked our car at the first carpark we spotted at Halim Perdana Kusuma, together with other runners.
Talk about the blind leading the blind!
Our car was apparently parked 2.5km AWAY from the starting point! So, after our long walk (our warm-up!), we joined the race immediately, and afterwards, we walked 2.5km back to our car.
Input to the organiser: more signages from the entry of Halim Perdana Kusuma, please?
…
So, would we join Air Force Run 2019, if they organise it again?
Hehe, yeah I think so.
We love the fact that we could run with views of real planes around us.
Photo opportunities with the military crew were great, too!
…
O btw, I didn’t realise that it’s Mother’s Day here in Indonesia … so the medal was kind of ‘timely’, hehe =)Here’s to all Moms out there! 💪🏻💪🏻
