First day of the race expo was not too good because many of my volunteers did not come for the morning shift. Afternoon shift was much better as my group almost had full attendance.

Things went on well at the race expo despite many heavy responsibilities given to me. For the night shift, all the counter crew leaders went home except for me, leaving me in charge of 40 counters. Nevertheless, the job was still manageable with the help of the other volunteers.

Last day of the race expo was great. I was allowed to leave early despite being a leader because of my duties on the race day. I went home to rest before meeting up with my friends to go to the chalet to have some fun before the race day.

If you cannot join the event, be part of the event.
Volunteering for Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 was not really fun, but it is the experience gained and getting to know new people that made it enjoyable. Being the race day and also the last day of volunteering, my friends and I were deployed to do registration for the massage tent. I have to admit that it was a very boring job.
We reported at the volunteer’s tent at midnight, having come from the chalet which is at Changi. After collecting our volunteer entitlements, we headed to McDonald’s to catch some sleep before reporting for duty. Just before our duty started, we were lucky enough to catch the first runner completing the marathon and we went to cheer him on. After our duty was done, some of us went to eat at Andersen’s Ice Cream before heading home.
