Featuring timed categories for the very first time, the 2018 edition of The Music Run™ by AIA will be taking place on Sentosa Island, on the evening of 21 April this year.
Event is targeted at runners of all types
This themed run is targeted at music lovers, as well as both competitive runners and first timers, and is being billed as the most uplifting running series in the world – with ‘Inspo Zones’ and speakers located every 50m pumping 150,000 watts of sound to fuel your running beat.
And in line with the theme of The Music Run, runners are also encouraged to dress up as their favourite bands or musicians or any other character that they desire to, but this is not compulsory though.
Features a 5km and a 10km route
This year’s edition of The Music Run™ by AIA features both a 5km and a 10km route, to cater to runners of various abilities. For those who choose to do the 5km route, they can also opt to have their run timed, for an addition S$5.
This means that if you usually like to run with music, you can ditch your headphones and let the music fuel your beat.
The music that will be played along the route will be selected by the runners themselves, too. So you don’t need to worry that you won’t like the songs that are being played en-route.
During the run, there are five music zones and each one has a different theme. Prior to the event, registered runners have the chance to play the event playlists and vote for their favourite songs from there. The songs with the highest number of votes will make the Top 5 playlists for each zone.
The gates for The Music Run™ 2018 open up for runners at 4pm and the first wave flags off at 4.45pm.
I had a fantastic time at the first edition of The Music Run™
I took part in first edition of the The Music Run™ in Singapore, a few years back. That year, the event had been an untimed 5km fun run, and I remember that I had a fantastic time.
I had thoroughly enjoyed lapping up the songs from the loudspeakers along the route, and there were even inflatable radios and guitars for runners to pick up en-route and run with for the rest of the distance.
The fun is not over when you cross the finish line
As well when you cross the finish line, the fun is not over.
This is because you can continue the party in your active wear at the Main Stage or else simply chill out and soak up the festive vibes.
Do note that while runners are not allowed to bring outside alcoholic drinks to the race village, there may be alcohol that is available for purchase within the village, so that runners can party after the run and soak up the vibes of the night.
Runner Entitlements
Runners taking part in The Music Run™ by AIA will be entitled to not just a race slot, but also a high quality tee shirt and a goodie bag packed with sponsor-supplied products and vouchers.
Do note however, that the exact items in the goodie bags vary across the different editions of The Music Run™ in various cities.
