A Filipino maid, Jeanette Camilo Cariso, shared how she ran 57km on National Day (9 August) to celebrate Singapore’s 57th birthday, completing it in just under 9 hours.
She started her journey on Monday at about 11.15pm and her run began at her home near Somme Road, and she ran all the way to East Coast, making a round at East Coast Park from area A to H, before going around the Kallang River to Marina Barrage, and ended it at Gardens By The Bay.
She took exactly 8 hours and 51 minutes to finish her 57km run.
Here is what she said on Facebook
