Last month's Sundown Marathon has chalked up yet another disqualification.

This time it involves the winner of the 10k race, held at the Changi Exhibition Centre on May 29.

Jacky Ong, 14, who won the race with a timing of 39 minutes, was disqualified last week for running under his girlfriend's father's identification, which had him registered as a 50-year-old.

The race had a minimum age ruling of 18 years, rendering Ong an underage competitor.
