President’s Message

Dear Members and Friends,

Hope you had a rewarding 2023.

Enclosed, please find a selection of images highlighting
some of our MR25 activities from the past year.

2023 Archives

A heartfelt thanks to the members of the Management Committee and Sub-committees for their leadership and support in orchestrating our diverse programmes, including the Training Groups at Bukit Brown, Bukit Gombak, and MacRitchie, the Progressive Run, Time-Trial, Ultramarathon, AGM, BBQ, among others.

Special recognition to Chan Chai Hui and Steve Choo for their commitments and exceptional photography. Additionally, my deep appreciation to Boo Mui Chin, whose dedication saw him volunteering in nearly all events throughout the year. I also wish to acknowledge all contributors of photographs and express gratitude to Joshua Chua for his invaluable assistance in assembling this montage.

I am immensely grateful to every volunteer and member whose collective efforts were instrumental in ensuring the resounding success of our events.

Lastly, the fruition of many of our programmes owes much to the generous support of our product sponsors: Key Power for our club’s vests and Ultramarathon T-shirts and prizes, Pocari Sweat for year-round hydration support, and Creative for the Ultramarathon prizes. Our gratitude knows no bounds.

Wishing one and all good health and a great 2024 ahead!

Best regards,
Steven Quek
