Jogging Event - Greatest Charity Run

Ok ok, this is the last one that I will post today .. because i have no more other runs on my list ;p

there is a 2.4km run or 5km run on 24th April 2009

Besides taking part in the 2.4 or 5 km run on 24 Apr 09, participants will also have the opportunity to break a Guinness World Record. We are attempting the Largest Human Wheelbarrow Race in human history with an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people. This record was originally held by Anglican High School, Singapore, with 700 participants. On 9 Sept 2008, Carey Baptist Grammar School of Melbourne broke our record with 1,044 particpants. We intend to bring this record back to Singapore with a number that will remain with us for a long, long, time.
The runs will be flagged off in batches at 6.30pm (2.4km), 7.15pm (2.4km) and 8pm (5km). Before or after the runs, participants can take part in the wheelbarrow race which will be held simultaneously at the Poly sports field. The distance required for this Guinness record is walking with your hands, legs held by your partner, for only 50 m.
So after this event, you can go home as a world record breaker.

This is THE RUN that I will salute to anyone who is able to do it

It will be good to go for at least one or two of the runs. It pushes you to train for it, and you get to do some exercise :)
