Registration for the National Day Fun Run began yesterday and will run until 24 September, while sign-ups for the walking event will end on 30 September. Participation is free of charge.
The run will take place at Lotus Square at 8:15 am on 1 October, following a National Day flag-raising ceremony. The course covers a total distance of three kilometres, and prizes will be awarded to the top ten finishers in both women’s and men’s categories.
There’s also a walking event, with team trophies across five categories to groups with the highest number of participants completing the course. The five categories are: schools, sports associations, hometown associations, public and private organisations, and other social organisations. Registration for the walking event runs from now until 12 pm on 30 September.
