Find below my full race coverage plus a few tourist impressions from the beautiful city Skopje.

Wizzair Skopje Marathon 2019 - Tor Rønnow

Skope City and Old Town
Skopje is the Captal of North Macedonia and as such a very small city, however, extremely scenic with the old Stone Bridge as the main attraction I would say. I think I took the largest number of picturesque photographs within like 30 minutes I have ever taken any where and since North Macedonia made it my marathon country no. 46 I have seen stuff around. Other attractions include the Mother Teresa Park and the vast number of statues in Skopje (in the Old Town).

Skopje Marathon 2019
Skopje Marathon 2019 was a very well organized event featuring a half marathon, a full marathon, a marathon relay a 5 K race and a “team builing race”, whatever that is. The route for the marathon was VERY FLAT and was comprised by two identical (half marathon) loops along several of the landmarks in and nearby Skopje City. I’d say this is one – if not THE – flatest city marathons I have ever been to (a total of 76 height meters!!!), very easy route. I like it that way.

Find below my full race coverage plus a few tourist impressions from Antalya.

Antalya City and Old Town
Antalya City took me by surprise by it’s large size and non-tourist impression. However, Antalya sports the Old Town and many landmarks herein, including the famous Hadrian’s Gate (a leftover from the Roman Empire) and beautiful views towards the Mediterranean Sea. The costline is packed with the large tourist hotels and people visit Antalya and the area not only for the beaches but also for excursions and playing golf. For sure, Antalya is a pleasant place to visit.

Antalya Marathon 2019
Antalya Marathon 2019 was a very well organized event featuring a half marathon, a full marathon and a 10 K race. The route was an out-home strech, quite scenic at places and along several of the landmarks in and nearby Antalya City.

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018

Sunday December 9th 2018 I completed the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018 in Singapore. Find below my full race coverage plus some tourist impressions from the beautiful and amazing Singapore.

Singapore City
The first thing that strikes you in Singapore is: the heat! Boy, this is a warm place to be! The second thing is the business and mobile fixation of merely EVERYBODY, and thirdly the tidyness and order all around. Beware, if you leave something (trash) on the street, you will get fined, prosecuted and go to jail! For real! 

But make no mistake: Singapore is an amazing city to visit, lots of impressive malls and shops, a beautiful skyline and of course the luxurious Bay area including the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, the Merlion and the Fullerton hotels. As seen in the report I also visited Chinatown, Singapore and Little India and the Gardens by the Bay.

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018
Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018 was an insanely warm and humid experience taking off from the Singapore Formula One track at 04.30 AM and with temperatures reaching 32 degrees C during the race. Even at the start it was too warm for running (under “normal conditions”) but still I managed to run until the sun arose at around 7 AM. The route was partly scenic and the fixpoint throughout the day was for sure the majestic Marina Bay Sands building.
