An event initiated by Runners’ Heart-Reach, a Ground Up Movement supported by the Singapore Kindness Movement, the third edition of the Singapore Kindness Run will be taking place on 3 August 2019.

Spreading Good Running Etiquette

Since the event’s debut in May 2017, Singapore Kindness Run has recruited more than 1,000 Kindness Ambassadors through the 10km Ambassador Run – who are then subsequently “planted” in other local races and in the running community to share about proper etiquette with fellow runners.

These include good running behaviours such as keeping left unless overtaking during running, running not more than two abreast to prevent blocking and also to bin their cups at proper disposal bins at running events.

Personally I think that this is a great initiative because there can definitely be improvements made in terms of running etiquette in Singapore. For instance, on several occasions, I have had to weave through runners blocking the paths and runners selfishly walking on the course in large groups chatting to their friends.

Takes place at the Singapore National Stadium

The Singapore Kindness Run 2019 will be taking place at the National Stadium as part of the Get Active! Singapore, which takes place in the week leading up to Singapore’s National Day – and aims to foster a stronger Singapore spirit and promises an active lifestyle through sport.

Three Categories

And to cater to runners of all abilities, there are three categories – the 10km Ambassador Run, 3.5km Fun Run and the 800m Kids Dash.

Finishers of all categories will get a specially designed medal in the shape of SINGA THE LION, the Singapore courtesy mascot. This will also double up as a keychain.

As well, finishers of the 10km Ambassador Run will get a limited-edition finisher’s Ambassador Tee and be empowered to spread the message of gracious running in Singapore.

By wearing the medal or the t-shirt, it is hoped that runners will be reminded of their commitment to kindness.
