How to Run on Sand extract from ehow
Lean forward and run toe-in to move with maximum efficiency on the sand.
STEPS
1. Get a feel for the difference between hard-pack sand and soft-pack sand. The hard pack is usually the darker, wet sand close to the water. The soft pack is usually lighter and higher up on the beach.
2. Run on the soft sand by landing toe first and digging your toes into the sand.
3. Lean forward as you run, so that it almost feels like you're going to fall over right before you kick your toe in.
4. Run on the hard pack the same as the soft pack, but lessen your toe-in kick.
TIPS
Run on the flat part of the beach. Running on a slope is bad for your spine and could easily cause a hurt knee or ankle.
It's important to stretch well before and after running on the beach - the way your heel can sink into the sand puts more pressure on the Achilles' tendon and it can get pretty sore.
Warnings:
Be careful running toe-in on rocky beaches.
Tips
Shorten your stride while running. This will allow you to land on the sand in a flat-footed manner. The more evenly distributed your weight is, the less you are going to sink into the sand, which means less resistance. It also helps a lot to look for harder-packed sand. For example, run in tire tracks or other people's footprints. -

just finish the training session a while back....

Anyway for those that do not have access....it is not as tough as i expected especially the sand part - no kick lah .....as for the trail part....what kind of trail is that...... 
As a whole, pretty okay lah...
Dont think i will do anymore training run on the actual route, $2 per entry for my car and the distance covered does not warrant the effort. I am better off doing the run at MR. -

It was a fun and interesting run for me. Ladies running in Bikini or sport bra running around under the hot sun and sand, make the run even more interesting.
for those that taken part, c u next time -

first time i went. not sure if it was the same last year, but i thought it could have started earlier. it was so hot today!
the sand parts were rather challenging! was the route the same in the past?
