​We also conducted a post-event survey and these were the most common pieces of feedback and requests, in no particular order:

  • A larger venue overall - Kallang Wave Mall and Sports Hub were suggested
  • More ergs
  • More race categories e.g. age, weight class, recreational vs competitive, schools, corporates, distance-based relay 
  • Medals tallied to crown the top community i.e. club/gym/school/region/district
  • A larger screen and also positioned for participants to see
  • Participation medals or patches for all
  • T-shirt size options at registration

We hear you, and will strive to improve the participant experience at future SIRC editions. Thank you and see you next year!
