The Running Tee

Running Tee Top Chart (RTTC)
Everyweek, we will tabulate and reveal the Top 5 Sponsors and their names/ the amount they sponsor/ messages on our blog. Of course, this will continue untill our cut off date on 28/2/2009.

We Run together with your Name
After the cut off date, we will select the Top 5 Sponsors based on the chart and print their names on the back of our running tee-shirt. The Top Sponsor will even get his/her message printed on the front of our running tee-shirt. This is what Running Tee is all about, we will run together with your name.

How do I get my name onto the RTTC?
1) Transfer whatever amount to the bank account as stated below (on our 1st post).
2) Email your details (it is a must) to us (runningtee@hotmail.com) -
- i) Name
- ii) Why do you Sponsor us?
- iii) How much or what did you sponsor?
- iv) The message which you want to bring across on the Running Tee Shirt (15 words)
- v) A picture of yourself (optional)
3) The detail is for us to know you better and we want to keep a good track of the sponsorship.
4) We will put the details up on our blog after the transaction is confirmed (unless it is disagreeable by you - the choice is yours, let us know in advance).

How do I get to the Top of the RTTC?
1) It will be based on the amount you sponsor.
2) The amount you sponsor will be based on the total amount accumulated together (eg. 1st wk, you sponsor $10, on the 2nd wk, you sponsor another $30, the amount accumulated will be $40 in total. We will gauge based on this Total Amount).

Not to worry, it is not about just the money.
It is about the passion in pusuing the Dream.
Therefore, everytime you sponsor to us (together with the Full Details), we will keep the record and will put it onto our entry - Blog.

The Pure Motivation

Read a book call "Breakthrough Triathlon Training". This book does not promote the ways of training or any special methods in achieving better performance. It is about Pure Motivation - within yourself, your mind and the right attitude towards the sport.


The author mentions about Roger Bannister's concept:
We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves. It also does us good because it helps us to do other things better. It gives a man or woman a chance to bring out the power that might otherwise remain locked away inside. The urge to struggle lies latent in everyone. The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. The human spirit is indomitable.


Pure Motivation - This is exactly how we feel when we run. It reminds us of the Feel which we had during our running / physical training. It is a special kind of feeling which makes you smile after a hard training. It does not involve other elements like how hard is the training/ how fast u outrun your running buddy/ what is your running position in the compeition. We just enjoy the process~

With this right attitude, all the hardships (joint pain, muscle aches, thirst) become secondary.

Deep down, everyone has a pure motivation in participating.


Think about it the next time when you are going for a run.

Quest for Sponsorships for Tokyo Marathon 2009

Here goes,

I will use this blog as a media to reach out to people to sponsor coach and I for a trip to Tokyo, Japan in march 2009 for the Tokyo Marathon.

The Passionate Runners

Coach - Mang Tsz Kit, Jackie aka Cityrunner, 26
Myself - Ong Wei Peng, Marco aka Crazyhorse, 25

Achievements so far

Having 9 marathons between us in 4 years to date 1 Dec 2008. Will be completing 1 more marathon on 7 December.

I started in 2005 and had completed 4 marathons so far, Coach is one up, with a MILESTONE of 5 marathons.

Over the next few months running up to march next year, I will be constantly updating our training progress and this quest to find sponsors/ well-wishers for our trip.

Sponsorship proposal

Coach has this dream of letting people get involved in our training, without physically there. Of course, you can join us for trainings on Sundays at MacRitche Reservoir.

Sponsors could get their name and message on our running Tees. That is the one that we will be wearing for the event in Tokyo.

The sponsor with the highest amount credited will be able to choose to spread a message on both of our running attire.

T-shirt Design

No, we do not earn our keep as designers. But the design is really cute. Here. This will be how you can help two fellow Singaporean fulfill their dream.

We welcome kit sponsors too.



Goal of the Quest

We are looking to get enough to cover the expenses for about 8 days of accommodation and return tickets for Cityrunner and Crazyhorse.

Next Entry

Passion and why it sustains us to continue running.
