Photo Diary - SG50 National Day Run

It has been raining hard for the past 3 days and the skies cleared on the morning of 9th August 2015. The day is the 50th Jubilee birthday of the miracle city state Singapore and SG Unfit Runners decided to pay a visit to Marina Bay, where all the action will be later during the evening. We celebrated the nation birthday using different ways. I decided to take photos around the Bay area while Big Boned Guy tried to trace the number "50" on his Nike run app. Fang Tai ran down Orchard Road (I don't see how that's symbolic but it is probably a girl thing) while Lazy Girl overslept and turned up for Breakfast-After-The-Run.

It's 730am in the morning and there is already a crowd at the normally deserted Merlion Park

The Padang is on total lockdown and we have to resort to running on Esplanade Bridge to
get to Marina Bay

There are 50 mega numbers lined around the bay area. They moved the 50 to the Jubilee Bridge from its position at the
floating platform last week.

I wonder what this star is used for during NDP. Should be pretty at night.

Security personnel patrols all around the Bay area.

They have barricades everywhere!

Our men in green turning up early preparing for a long day ahead. Kudos!

Can you see it?
