SG57 NATION WALK
For Nation, With Nation!
57 is young for a nation which is still very much a work-in-progress. Rejoicing one of our national songs which goes like this, “There was a time when people said that Singapore won’t make it but we did…” and proudly indeed, we have since emerged from a Third World nation to First World. Nation building is a never-ending mission so that our beloved country will continue to progress and prosper for future generations to come.
This is a hybrid physical walk event where participants get to use the newly launched IRC mobile application to embark on their own training program which will then lead to the physical walk on 30 July, Saturday in Sentosa. Though this is not a competitive event but the primary goal is to encourage our participants to train up and be ready for the main event. For the accomplishment, participants get to earn a limited edition SG57 Nation Walk medallion upon completion.
All said, SG57 Nation Walk aims to get true-blue Singaporeans regardless of age or gender to come together as “One people, One Nation” and dedicate this meaningful walk to Singapore on her 57th birthday. Other nationals residing in Singapore are also welcome to join in too.
SPECIAL 10KM
Run CATEGORY
On 14 May 2022, we organised our first 10km physical onsite race for our Run For Light 2022. We are so happy to witness many runners who are familiar faces and raring for action. When they finally crossed the line, the look of great satisfaction displayed on their faces after missing out for some 2-year affirmed to us that they yearn for more. Thus, this special 10KM run edition is created just for all our runners to instil excitement of sorts commemorating our nation’s 57th birthday before the walk event. Let's step up and get ready for the next race.
The 10KM race is a competitive category where top 5 men and women will walk away with prizes & trophies. Competition aside, some can always choose to run at their own pace just to soak up to the atmosphere. Runners will cover 2 x 5KM loop that stretches from Palawan Beach to Siloso Beach in iconic Sentosa with the morning sea breeze keeping the heat at bay.
The run will commence in a cool morning setting at 7:00 am and flag-off is based on every 100 per wave in accordance to current SMM requirements.
