Based on the 1996 Japanese media franchise

A Japanese media franchise originating in 1996, Pokemon has grown into a worldwide sensation. It started as a video game in Japan, allowing players to catch, trade and train Pokemon.

The franchise’s popularity then led to the creation of an anime series, starring young Pokemon trainer Ash Ketchum and his friends. Promoting the spirit of discovery as well as values of courage, honour and friendship, the series became highly successful.

Puts runners in Ash’s footsteps

The upcoming Pokemon Run Singapore puts runners in Ash’s footsteps, bringing to life the journey to train to become a Pokemon Master, against the waterfront backdrop of the Marina Bay Sands.

Runners will also get to experience the newest Pokemon from the latest Nintendo SDS instalments, Pokemon Sun & Moon, at the event.
