The 2 groups were cheering the last group on as they ran towards their finishing point.

On the way there....far from the madding crowd...

Group Oscar and Dragon taking time for a group shot.

Trudging forward under the cloudy sky...

Dashing across field in a bid to shorten the distance....

and more fields...

across LRT tracks...

along deserted roads...

Finally......reaching our destination! The end reward was the scenery that greeted us...a wide expanse of sea and sandy beach.

Now it was time to PLAY!!!

By the time the last group reached, it was almost 5. So we all decided to take the bus back instead so that we can be in time for our Physical Training!
