Collected the race pack for this year's Adidas Sundown Marathon over the weekend:
They're using the same huge, useful canvas bag as last year's that my sis loves to do grocery-shopping with! =)
This year, the slogan is updated to read "Beat the sunrise, race the night", which is all very apt, as the full-marathon event starts right smack at midnight. That said, the time between darkness and sunrise is only about 7 hours for all you marathon heros out there. =)
So what's in the race pack? Let's find out:
No number '8' in my running 4D number again. =_=
Besides the usual lot of flyers and discount coupons, this time round, they decided to give you the energy gel first instead of along the route of the run, as there have been grouses that by the time the slower runners reached the gel distribution point, they have already been depleted. Apparently, some runners take more than their fair share of the energy gels. =(
We also have a change in the featured energy gel:
How does the taste of these SiS energy gels compare to that of PowerBar gels? Will report back after the race!
The main highlight of the race pack is still the running vest:
This year's vest is a lot less elaborate than last year's, with no bling-bling. =/ Hope the finisher's tee will not disappoint!
