There’s A Superhero Themed Cyclothon Happening In Singapore And All Are Welcome

Many Singaporeans will probably have noticed that in the past couple of years, it’s been fun runs galore here on our little red dot.

While each run has had its own unique draw, from loud, pumping music, to cartoon character themes, runs just aren’t for everyone.

Sure, there may be plenty of things to keep you distracted from the fact that you’re running, but the relatively short 5K can still be quite the challenge, especially for those of us who haven’t done any kind of physical activity in a long time.

If running isn’t your cup of tea, there’s another sporting event happening soon – and at this one, you’ll have a couple of wheels to help you out.

The annual OCBC Cycle is back.

[caption id="attachment_30551" align="alignnone" width="1456"] Image Credit: OCBC Cycle[/caption]

Happening from 18 – 19 November, OCBC Cycle is Singapore’s most happening cycling event. An event that brings together cyclists young and old, from the greenest to the most seasoned, everyone is welcome to be a part of this cycling fiesta.

OCBC Cycle 2017 has something for everyone, with 3 riding categories for people who just want to have a good time. The best part? This year’s event will be graced by superheroes.

Ride With Friends

[caption id="attachment_30552" align="alignnone" width="1429"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Ocbc Cycle[/caption]

A Super Hero-themed ride, come dressed in your favourite Marvel or DC heroes and heroines! Better yet, come dressed like famous superhero (or supervillain) duos like Batman and Robin, Professor X and Magneto, or the Joker and Harley Quinn, with your partner or your bestie.

[caption id="attachment_30554" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Image Credit: insing[/caption]

You can even go all out and pimp your ride with superhero elements – just make sure it doesn’t become a hazard when you cycle! Capes can be especially dangerous for cycling superheroes.

The best dressed person with the most fearless getup will get to walk away with a Casio EXILIM EX-FR100 Action Cam (worth $629) that’s perfect for capturing action-packed outings like these.

[caption id="attachment_30555" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Image Credit: Unsplash[/caption]

A scenic route that will take you past some of the most iconic landmarks of Singapore, including the other-worldly Singapore Sports Hub, majestic Supertrees at Gardens By The Bay, and the Marina Bay Sands, make sure to take in all the sights as you cruise through this 23km route.

Ride With Family

Want to spend some quality time with the family?

[caption id="attachment_30556" align="aligncenter" width="855"] Image Credit: OCBC Cycle[/caption]

The Mighty Savers® Kids and Family Ride guarantees a great time for even the youngest of the pack.

[caption id="attachment_30557" align="alignnone" width="1500"] Image Credit: OCBC Cycle[/caption]

Themed ‘Bubbly Fun’, the route comprises zones that will be filled with bubbles by bubble blowing machines. The kids are sure to have a ball with the bubbles, popping them as they cycle!

[caption id="attachment_30558" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Image Credit: Image Credit: OCBC Cycle[/caption]

If you’d like to take it easy and go for a leisurely ride, go for The Corporate Bike Ride. Pick between the 23km The Straits Time Ride and the 42km The Sportive Ride, and take on the city with a group of at least 15 cyclists!

Amp up the team spirit and ditch the event jersey in favour of one of your own company tees. Deck yourselves in your company colours, make post-cyclothon dinner plans, and make a day of it!

After all, the company that plays together, stays together.

[caption id="attachment_30560" align="alignnone" width="1259"] Image Credit: OCBC Cycle[/caption]

Gear Up For OCBC Cycle 2017

Sticking with the cycling theme, the OCBC 2017 participation medal comes in the form of 1/3 of a stylized bicycle gear.

[caption id="attachment_30561" align="aligncenter" width="244"] Image Credit: OCBC Cycle[/caption]

Wear it around your neck like a badge of honour once you’ve finished OCBC Cycle 2017. If you come back for subsequent editions of the OCBC Cycle in 2018 and 2019, you can combine the 3 pieces to form a complete gear!

Don’t have a bike of your own? Don’t worry, you can rent yourself a bike for this event! Some reliable places to get your bikes are T.K.H Leisure, Cycle To The Park, S-Lite Event Support and more. With these bike rental services readily available, finding a bike to ride with should be the least of your worries!

If you know you’re long overdue for some exercise, or just like sweating it out with like-minded people, register for OCBC Cycle 2017 here! And make sure to take your best pals along because everything is better when you do it with a friend!

We Asked Muay Thai Fighters What It Means To Be A Fighter In And Out Of The Ring

Muay thai is a sport that’s known for a few things – power, efficiency and simplicity.

One of the most popular martial arts in Singapore, it doesn’t take someone who does muay thai to appreciate the beauty and excitement of the sport.

Those who have watched a muay thai fight will know exactly how thrilling it is to see two people sparring, pitting not just their strength but their technical prowess against each other as they throw it down in the ring.

As spectators of the sport, often, it can seem like fighting and being a fighter is all about winning – but it is in fact about so much more.

With the inaugural Asia Fighting Championship (AFC) – an event dedicated to the sport of muay thai – coming up, we decided to ask some of the fighters what it means to be a fighter not just inside, but out of the ring. Here’s what they had to say.

Bryan Tee

Age: 19
Weight: 57kg

If this is a face you find familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen him at the recent SEA Games – the first time Singapore was represented in muay thai at the Games since 2008.

Bryan got his first taste of muay thai at the tender age of 12, as he was often picked on for being a “tiny guy” growing up. He was drawn to the sport as it is the art of eight limbs; you learn to be a complete fighter by using your hands, legs, elbows and knees.

After his first fight at the age of 14, he’s gone on to compete in numerous competitions including IFMA Royal World Cup 2015, IFMA Youth World Championship 2016, 5th Asian Beach Games, and the IFMA World Championship 2017.

When asked what his favourite part about fighting is, he says, “To hit, to get hit by a stronger opponent, and to WIN!”

What it means to be a fighter:

“Being a fighter in muay thai is to be someone who has a lot of heart and determination. One that doesn’t give up. You have to be strong and ready at all times,” he shares.

Outside the ring, muay thai has also instilled in him many lessons.

“Muay thai has taught me respect, to honour not only my parents, but also my teachers. Apart from helping me stay in top physical condition, muay thai has helped to supplement me with a good support system in the form of the great brothers and friends I have met along the way.”

He adds, “To be at the top of the game, you have to keep persevering, and [you have] to give 110 per cent each time. This principle applies to life outside muay thai as well. I will never give up — I will also strive relentlessly towards my goals.”

Bryan will be going up against Hong Kong’s Pan Ieong at the AFC. This will be his first ever pro fight.

Wynn Neo

Age: 21 
Weight: 60kg

With his lean physique, you wouldn’t have guessed that Wynn is a huge fan of McDonald’s.

As a child, Wynn watched a fair bit of martial arts movies. It was this that inspired him to want to learn how to fight, and at age 15, he started training.

The more he trained, the more his passion and love for the sport grew, and it was just one year later that he fought his first amateur fight.

For him, the best part of a fight is winning and knowing that all his hard work during training has paid off. There is nothing he likes more than going head to head with his opponent, and “[seeing] who wants to win it more”.

What it means to be a fighter:

Wynn shares that in the context of muay thai, being a fighter means “Being disciplined to attend training consistently. Even during training, when no one is watching, you must still put in your very best because you are doing it for yourself and not for others.”

“In a fight, one must have the heart to fight, which means even when you are up against a highly skilled opponent and you are losing the fight, you’re still going to do all that is in your ability to put up a fight,” he adds.

In life, he believes the same principles apply.

He shares, “Muay thai has taught me to never give up no matter how tough training or the fight gets. I feel that life is like a fight too. Each day, there will be different obstacles and challenges that are placed in front of me but I press on and never give up until the goal is reached.”

Wynn will be going up against Malaysia’s Saifullah Bin Ismail at the AFC.

He says, “I am excited to put on a good fight and represent Singapore on our home ground. Knowing that my opponent is a much more experienced fighter, if I get a win over him, it would be my greatest win yet.”

Never Throw In The Towel

Being a fighter is not simply a matter of knocking out your opponent in the ring. It is a matter of putting in the work, putting in the time, and putting on a fight, even if the odds are stacked against you.

On 23 September, Bryan Tee and Wynn Neo will be among the 6 representing our country, going up against top champion fighters from Korea, Macau, Malaysia, and more at the inaugural AFC.

Watch these talented fighters battle it out for the title of champion, and all the glory that comes with it.

Happening at Marina Bay Sands Singapore, the event is jointly organised by Muse Fitness Club Singapore and Axseed Events.

Advance Tier tickets (corner) are selling at $58; Advance Tier at $81.35** (U.P. $91); and VIP at $117.05** (U.P. $133). Get your tickets here.

8 Corny Pick Up Lines To Use On That Cutie You Spot On Your Next Fun Run

In the past couple of years, we’ve seen many a run grace our little island.

We’ve seen just about everything, from character-themed runs (Pokemon run, Hello Kitty Run, Star Wars Run), to festival-inspired runs (The Music Run, The Color Run), to some… pretty strange runs. Teh Tarik Run, I’m looking at you.

Clearly, Singaporeans love their runs, and with so many different themes to choose from, a boring 5K or 10K can become a lot more exciting – especially with a fun run pack and a nice T-shirt thrown in.

While runs like these offer calorie-burning benefits and all the novelty that comes with the themes, one other benefit of going for these runs is to meet new people – specifically, people of the opposite sex. As they say, love can blossom in strange places, so who are we to stand in its way?

The next time you go for a fun run, save these 8 pick-up lines to use on that cutie you spot running nearby.

1. This is definitely a run, ‘cus you’ve been running through my mind the entire time.

3. I’ll let you run ahead of me because I’m chasing the girl (or guy) of my dreams.

4. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win the race, you still take the #1 spot in my heart.

5. This 5K is nothing compared to how far we’ll be walking towards our future.

6. They say The Color Run is the happiest 5K on the planet. I guess it’s true, because I get to meet you.

7. Are you a sprinter? ‘Cus I relay want to date you.

8. Do you run marathons? ‘Cus I would go the distance for you.

Thought some of these were hella cheesy? Well, sometimes, cheesy is enough to get the ball rolling.

The Color Run 2017

Looking for the next fun run you can head to? The Color Run is coming up on 23 September and it promises lots of fun, lots of excitement and LOTS of color.

Unlike previous editions of The Color Run, this year, the happiest 5k on the planet goes nocturnal, and will be taking place at night. Expect to be doused from head to toe in bright, neon colors at each kilometer and see the colors set aglow with your black light headlamp!

You won’t be the only ones glowing in this ultraviolet affair – the color zones and night attractions spread though the neon course will also be glowing bright in the night.

Come dressed in your boldest, brightest neon styles, and find yourself plastered in pretty, glowing color by the end of the night!

Once you’ve finished your run, party the rest of the night away to pumping music and yet more color throws!

Save With DiscoverSG

Want to go for The Color Run but afraid to burn a hole through your wallet?

While regular tickets to The Color Run are going at $70, DiscoverSG readers get to purchase them at the reduced price of $59.50!
