How Run For Singapore 2026 Works
Celebrate Singapore's 61st year of independence by moving together! Walk, run, cycle, or swim anywhere during the official race period to conquer your personal goal and contribute to our national tally.
How Much Distance Do You Need to Clock?
The Baseline
Complete a minimum of 6.1 km to officially finish the race and unlock your exclusive SG61 digital entitlements.
The Challenge
Want to push your limits for Singapore's 61st birthday? Go beyond the baseline and aim for a total of 61 km!
National Goal
Every single kilometer you log—whether it's 6.1 km or 61 km—adds to our massive community tally. Let's reach it together!
Register for the Challenge
Sign up for the Open Category and commit to your distance. Register early to lock in the best rate and guarantee your exclusive SG61 entitlements and participant-only merchandise discounts!
Track Your Distance
Use any fitness tracking app or wearables like Apple Watch, Garmin, and Samsung Health, or apps like Strava, Nike Run Club, Runkeeper, and Healthy 365 etc. Both outdoor activities and indoor workouts (like treadmill runs or stationary bikes) are accepted.
Track each session—once your activity is synced or submitted, your distance is automatically added to your profile to watch your milestones grow.
No need to complete your distance in one go. Example: 3 km run today + 3.1 km walk tomorrow = 6.1 km total.
There are absolutely no cut-off times or minimum pace requirements within the official race period.
