Standard Chartered Marathon 2006

I'm signed up! I'm signed up!

Woke up early today so I could go for the launch of the Standard Chartered Marathon at Raffles Place Park. Brought my direct mailer with promotion code for a 20% discount (paid $33.60) and signed up for the FULL MARATHON ON DECEMBER 3RD 2006!

die die die die die die....

Standard Chartered Marathon
This is the terrycloth towel I got for being one of the first 100 to sign up at the launch. (Note to self: Must stop taking pictures with the webcam which has LOUSY RESOLUTION. Must resist how easy it is to take pictures with the webcam, and use difficult-to-use camera instead. Resistance is futile!)

Anyway, I repeat:

die die die die die die die....

To date, I've signed up for three races (and done none) with the dim and fuzzy notion of my increased fitness in the very imminent future. haha!

Wish me luck!

Cheers. Promo Code? Many thanks.

Hi Kelvyn and Anon, thanks for coming by. I don't think the promo code is transferable though. They checked my flyer against my IC when I signed up. Also, the code is comprised of a combination of letters and numbers indicating the type of race I ran last year, for example, 2006-HMF for 2006 half marathon female. This is not the promo code though -- It is something like the real code, but I've lost it. I assume they will check it against their database from 2006...

So, sorry, can't help you out there... You'll be able to get a discount in 2007 though! But I hear that this is the last year that Stan Chart will be organising it, so I'm not sure what the practice will be in 07.

All the best for your race!
