Get fit and have fun, all for good causes, too
With the Christmas season fast approaching, we're getting our tummies ready for some extravagant feasting, which tends to cause a lot of us anxiety. Pre-empt that stress over the holiday weight gain by taking part in fun mass runs, walks and marathons happening across Singapore! You can get fitter while bonding with your friends and family - what a wonderful way to spend Christmas and get your New Year's resolutions going strong! If you're looking to give this Christmas, proceeds for some of these runs go to charitable organisations, too.
5. Safari Zoo Run
When: 24 February, 7am
Run on the wild side with the animals of our Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and, for the first time in the run’s 11-year history, River Safari! This year, the Safari Zoo Run also takes you through River Safari, where you can catch the river dwellers and Canola, the popular manatee, chilling in the morning. Bring the whole family for an active day out – you can enjoy a leisurely 4km stroll in the nature parks, while the Safari Zoo Duo Dash and Safari Zoo Junior Dash allow adults to team up with their little ones for a competitive 2km race! The more competitive runners can challenge themselves at the new 12km run, up from 10km last year. In keeping with the Wildlife Reserve’s conservation causes, they are trying to reduce plastic usage during the race. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles, and there will be no plastic wraps used for race tees and finishers’ medals.
