Safari Zoo Run 2015

Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 13:03      No comments

Safari Zoo Run 2015's here! I had taken part for this event for consecutive 3 years!

This year, the race is divided into 2 days, Sat and Sunday unlike previous years where it is held on only 1 day. Surprisingly, there's quite a number of participants and I spotted quite a number of tourists! "Welcome to Singapore! =D"

The interesting thing about this run is, it's held in the Singapore Zoo. You get to run into some tracks where zoo keepers work. Furthermore, free entry into Singapore Zoo.

The most unique thing for me would be the smell! The safari area, where the zebras, giraffes and lions are kept has the strongest "aroma". It's "mesmerizing"! haha.

A shuttle bug like me would grab full use of this chance to photograph the animals in their enclosures. We have the majestic tigers, the black bears, arrogant lions, "cam whore" piglets, the tall giraffes, curious Meerkats, "sexy" zerbas (look at that arss*), etc.

Finally, completed the run! The route was quite smooth. Beware of the upslope at the start and some rocky terrain, you'll be fine.

There's all folks! Keep running =)


"I wonder if you took part in this run? I missed pushing you a little hard and then slow down making you pace me. I hope you're still up in your running! The stench of the safari animals are overpowering, so don't worry ;)"

Safari Zoo Run 2014

Safari Zoo Run 2014 - This is one of the special runs I've joined. The running route leads through the zoo itself.

Woke up super early on a Sunday morning, dragged my restless body to CCK and had a light breakfast at McDonald's before heading off to our destination - The Zoo. The sky is still dark and I am anticipating first light =)

The sun was up and getting hot and sunning when we arrived at the zoo. It was only 7am! We deposited our bag and rushed to the starting line and off we ran. I just love the scent of the nature especially the Safari animals area - Zebras, Giraffes, Lions. The scent (or should I said stench) was awesomely encouraging.

Fortunately, I brought my mobile phone along and get to take photos =D Enjoy the photos folks! It's a fun experience! Do start running and keeping fit!
