Yup almost 26,000 runners attended this event. because this is free. Yes it's free, I can already see your faces upon reading this late. Hyundai had a free run also last year, 2011 but I'm not lucky enough to avail the free slot.
Almost a year now from my last run. I lost a running buddy that time and I lost also interest. I'm not sure why, actually. I don't collect singlets. I'll join a run If I know it's worth it. Let's be honest, run now a days was not like before. I'm also new, don't get me wrong please. I love to run. But I'm aware that fun run is not like before :(. Because run is like milk tea now that sells like hot cakes. There is so many runs to choose from which is also good for us. But we can't avoid that some organizers abused this. By what? Super high registration fees? The big question is especially for the run for a cause. How much from our fee really goes to "advertised" cause?
Runners like me should be more vigilant. This money is our hard earn money. I'm just a regular employee who earn just enough. So I'll make sure to spend it wisely.
Hyundai Run is generous enough to organize a free run like this. Every runner deserves a free run once in a while, right? But sad to say some is after only in singlets and they register all their family members, relatives and friends just to have singlets. Which is unfair to those runners who can't avail the slots (just a rant). Better luck next time I guess.
Run is a passion. I hope to regain my interest. I love to run!
To all the runners. Keep Running!
To all organizers, kudos! I know how hard to organized a run like this.
Special thanks to generous Hyundai. Good Job :) Till next time.
