Singtel - SCS RAC Returns this July 2019

Come July 28, the annual Singtel – Singapore Cancer Society Race Against Cancer 2019 is back, to raise funds for cancer treatment subsidies, welfare assistance, cancer rehabilitation, hospice care, cancer screenings, research, public education and cancer support group initiatives.

Taking place on July 28 at 7:00am

Organised by the Singapore Cancer Society and taking place from 7:00am at Angsana Green, East Coast Park, this year’s event will feature two timed competitive categories, 10km and 15km, as well as a 5.5km Fun Run that will be untimed.

A race that I support each year

I have taken part in this race for the past few years and unlike many large scale mass runs where we are just running for ourselves and to achieve a good timing, I find this charity run to be very educational and meaningful and the cause is something that is close to my heart, with my mother currently battling an aggressive Grade 4 glioblastoma (brain cancer). As such, this is a run that I always find myself coming back to each year.

And this year will be no exception, as I will be taking part again, by participating in the 10km event, as a pacer for runners who want to achieve a 70 minutes timing. That is a 7:00 mins/kilometre pace. To me, this is a great way to give back to the running community at the same time.
