Run Across Singapore Zoo, River Wonders and Night Safari

Participants are encouraged to Bring Your Own Bottle which can be refilled at water points throughout the parks to reduce waste, and they will receive medals recycled from past races.

Running aficionados can take part in Day 1’s 5km Competitive Challenge to strive for their personal best.

They can check in to a running clinic to amp up their stamina, practise mindfulness exercises surrounded by the manatees in River Wonders’ Amazon Flooded Forest or try forest bathing in Bird Paradise’s immersive Nyungwe Forest Heart of Africa, to name a few. Participants can also indulge in morning yoga sessions, then enjoy hearty meals at the different food and retail outlets in Mandai Wildlife West, the public space outside Bird Paradise. After the run on 23 and 24 September, adrenaline junkies can head for outdoor spin classes at Singapore Zoo’s Pavilion by the Lake.
