The Great Eastern Women’s Run is back on 27 October 2024 and will be taking place at the Singapore Sports Hub.

This is my favourite local running event on the Singapore running calendar and I always look forward to it every year. This year again will be no exception. 

I always take part in the 21.1km half marathon and I am hoping to do so again this year. Besides the half marathon, there is also a by-invite-only half marathon for elite participants, as well as 10km and 5km races, 2km ‘Mummy + Me’ for girls aged between 5 to 12 and the 100m Princess Dash for girls aged between 3 to 6.

I love this race because of how they pamper ladies after the run. There is a powder room for us to freshen up, as well as post-run goodies that have, in previous years, ranged from yoghurt, milk and ice cream to vitamins and sports gels. It is always one of the more generous race in terms of post-run stuff.

The GEWR 2024 will launch to plenty of fanfare at Guoco Tower Urban Park in the CBD at 11:30am.

And to celebrate the 116th anniversary of Great Eastern, the first 116 ladies who queue at the event wearing GEWR tees from previous editions of the run will receive a pair of complimentary race slots, and other on-site and online registrants can get 15% off.

As well, the first 1,000 ladies who queue will also receive a goodie bag worth up to $125. 

So ladies, what are you waiting for? Sign up for the GEWR and I hope to see you at Guoco Tower later this month.
