Held
in celebration of the International Women’s Day, this inaugural run
to be held on 20th March 2011, Sunday, is
an all-female competitive cross-country team run.
It
has a unique ‘age-factor’ which allows the team with a
higher combined age an advantage over the rest of the
‘younger’ teams. Hence, a minimum combined age per team is imposed
to encourage a good mix of cross-generational women runners per
team. And the minimum combined age limit is ‘83’ as 8th March is celebrated
globally as the International Women’s Day (IWD).
As
the inaugural run, SAA is making this more intimate and are
targeting only 150 teams of 3 Venuses per team.
For this privileged group of 450 runners, a 5km
cross-country race at the scenic Bedok Reservoir is organized
together with some post-event fringe activities.
Each
participant will receive a commemorative Event Tee-shirt as part of
their pre-race pack and a Goodie-bag as they complete their run.
Winners of the team run can look forward to unique prizes and
keepsakes!
