Run For Singapore is more than just a virtual race—it is a nationwide movement to celebrate our nation's 61st birthday. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply looking for extra motivation to move with your family, you are contributing to a massive collective national achievement as thousands of participants clock their kilometres toward our shared goal of 61,000 KM.

When you register and conquer your distance, you unlock a complete package of physical and digital rewards:

Physical Entitlements (Minimum 6.1 KM):

• Guaranteed premium gear, including the SG61 Official Finisher Tee (and any limited-time add-ons you secured), delivered straight to your door.

Digital Unlocks:

• A personalised e-Certificate for your achievement (exclusively for completing 61 KM).
• Exclusive Digital Badges as you progress.
• Digital milestone checkpoints unlocked at key distances.
• Access to the interactive leaderboard.

The challenge runs from 1 August to 30 September 2026. You can clock your activities at any time during this official event period.

You can complete your distance anywhere globally! Walk, run, jog, cycle, swim, skate, or use indoor gym equipment (like treadmills or ellipticals) at your own pace anytime between 1 August and 30 September 2026. As long as you can track the distance, it counts!

No, you don't need to be a Singapore Citizen! We warmly welcome all friends of Singapore, residents, and international participants to join us in celebrating this meaningful milestone together.

There is no age limit! Run For Singapore® is a family-friendly event. We encourage parents to register for their kids and clock the distance together as a family activity.

Signing up is easy! Just follow these quick steps:

1. Click the "Register Now" button on the event page to view the available race categories.
2. Select the category. You will be prompted to enter your email address to begin. (Note: Each participant must register individually with a unique email address).
3. Follow the on-screen steps to enter your details, choose your Finisher Tee size, and complete your registration!

💡 Pro Tip: To enjoy free Singapore delivery, simply include event add-on merchandise to bring your individual registration order to $59 and above, and the shipping fee will automatically be waived at checkout!

Currently, our system requires each participant to have a unique account and email address to track individual race progress and leaderboards. To register children who do not have their own email addresses, we recommend using a secondary email address you already own, or creating a quick, free email account (such as Gmail) specifically for their registration.

Currently, our platform only supports individual registrations. However, we love seeing organisations run together! If you represent a corporate or community group and are looking to register more than 20 participants, please reach out to our team at heyrace@runsociety.com to discuss bulk registration options and potential discounts.

We rarely issue coupon codes. When we do, they are sent directly via our official email newsletter or announced on our official social media channels. The current period usually offers the best available pricing, so we recommend securing your spot today to lock in the best rate!

You will receive a confirmation email shortly after registering (check your spam folder just in case!). Once the official race period starts on 1 August, you will receive an email notification, or you can simply revisit the event page and log in to your account to submit your results.

No, each participant can only sign up for one category.

You can return to the merchandise page using the same email address you used to register. From there, you’ll be able to purchase any add-ons you may have missed.

Not at all! You have a full two months (from 1 August to 30 September) to complete your distance. You can break it down into as many sessions as you like. We highly encourage you to submit your results after each activity! This keeps your personal dashboard up to date, allows you to unlock digital milestone badges in real-time, and updates your rank on the live community leaderboard.

You can use any fitness app or smartwatch (Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, Samsung Health, etc.). You have two submission choices:

1. The Auto-Sync Method (Recommended): Connect your Strava account to our dashboard. Strava seamlessly synchronises with almost all major fitness watches. Simply authorise the connection to Strava in your device's native settings. Your watch will automatically send your runs to Strava, which will then automatically push to our event page!

2. The Manual Method: Select the Manual Upload method on our event dashboard. Take a screenshot of your completed activity directly from your fitness app (showing the date, distance, and duration) and manually upload it to the portal.

Indoor workouts on treadmills or stationary bikes are fully accepted! However, our Strava integration only syncs real, GPS-based eligible outdoor activities.

To submit treadmill runs, you must select the Manual Upload method on the event dashboard. Simply take a clear photo of the treadmill display or a screenshot from your indoor fitness app showing the distance and duration (date is optional for treadmill photos), and upload it manually.

No. To ensure accurate community tracking and prevent duplicate entries, our system requires participants to choose only one submission method for the entire event: either 100% Strava Auto-Sync OR 100% Manual Screenshot Uploads.

Please note: Once you confirm your chosen submission method on your dashboard, it is locked in and cannot be changed.

The e-Certificate is an exclusive reward for our ultimate challengers! You will automatically unlock your personalised e-Certificate to download from your dashboard once you have successfully completed and submitted a total of 61 KM.

(Please note: Completing the 6.1 KM minimum distance qualifies you for certain digital entitlements such as e-badges and milestones, but the e-Certificate requires the full 61 KM).

Our automatic sync for new activities happens daily at 2359hrs. Keep in mind that only GPS-based eligible activities recorded within the official race period will be synced (manual entries in Strava will be ignored).

If a day has passed and a valid GPS activity is still missing, please ensure your activity privacy setting on Strava is set to "Everyone" (Public). If your settings are correct, try unlinking and relinking Strava in your event dashboard under Account -> Connected App -> Strava.

All submitted activities are processed by our proprietary Heymetriq ™ verification engine. This system automatically analyses pace, distance, and duration data to flag anomalies or impossible metrics. Any submission flagged by the system will be held for manual review or rejected to ensure a fair leaderboard for everyone.

Activities submitted after the official submission deadline may not be accepted and digital finisher entitlements (like your e-Certificate) may not be issued.

All physical entitlements will begin shipping in batches from 25 July 2026. Please allow 2 to 5 working days for delivery. We offer flat-rate local delivery within Singapore at $5, and free delivery for individual registration orders of $59 and above!

International shipping is also available and calculated automatically at checkout. Once your order is dispatched, you will receive an email with tracking details. (Note: Singlets purchased after 25 July are on backorder, so please allow an extra 1 to 2 weeks for those to be dispatched).

For Singapore Deliveries: We will notify you with an email when your order has been shipped with a tracking link and ID. Simply click the link to see exactly when your gear will arrive.

For Overseas Deliveries: Once your parcel has been handed over to our international courier partners, you will receive a separate dispatch email containing your specific international tracking link.

Please double-check the shipping details in your registration confirmation email. If you spot an error, address amendments depend entirely on where your parcel is in our pipeline:

• Before Packing: You may be able to edit your address in your account, or contact us immediately so we can update it in our system.
• Already In Transit: Once handed over to the courier, we cannot guarantee a successful redirection.

⚠️ Important Reminder: Participants are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address during registration. The Organisers cannot be held liable for any lost, damaged, or misdelivered parcels due to incorrect details provided at checkout.

No, we do not offer a self-collection option for this event. All race items will be delivered directly to your registered shipping address via our courier partners.

No. All "Return to Buy" orders are treated as separate transactions. To reward you for coming back, we waive the shipping fee entirely on your new add-on order! However, past shipping fees from your initial registration are non-refundable.

All registrations are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. This applies even if you do not participate in or complete the challenge.

As all race items are made on-demand specifically for your order, we do not accept returns or exchanges for sizing issues, incorrect selections, or change of mind. Please review the sizing chart carefully prior to completing your registration.

Race items are only eligible for replacement if the item received is defective. Any defect must be reported to heyrace@runsociety.com within 24 hours of delivery and must be accompanied by clear supporting photos.
