About 46,000 people were at the Marina Bay on Sunday (Aug 31) for the SAFRA Singapore Bay Run and Army Half Marathon. And this year, the longer races seemed to be the most popular.

21,800 people participated in the 21-kilometre Army Half Marathon. A majority of the runners were Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regulars and national servicemen.

There was also a 10-kilometre race, a five-kilometre "fun run" and a father-and-child event. Youngsters also tried their hand at a special version of what is known in the Army as the Standard Obstacle Course.

Now into its 23rd edition, the aim of the event is to promote bonding and fitness as a lifestyle among SAF servicemen and their families. It is jointly organised by SAFRA and the Army.
