Running for good

SOME 8,000 runners ran around Marina Bay yesterday as the sun set in the SGX Bull Charge 2013, the 10th instalment of the annual charity event. Corporate running shirts were paired with horned caps, balloons and for some participants, red matador capes that flapped behind them as they ran under clear blue skies.

In the 5km run, Stuart Haynes was the fastest man, clocking a time of 16 mins 55 sec, while Vivian Tang was the top female runner with a time of 19 mins 17 sec. The 3.5 km Chief Challenge was won by Gan Seng Tiong of WWIG Pte Ltd in 15 mins 44 sec.

The run raised more than $3 million this year and will aid selected charities which care for the elderly, special needs children and adults with autism.
