Race Categories
10KM OPEN is highly recommended for the adrenaline-driven participants.
For those who love to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy a more leisure run, 5KM fun run is the best choice.
The 1KM blindfold walk resonates very much to the sacred mission of Guide Dogs Singapore Limited (GDS) to help the visually impaired in enhancing their quality of life. Participants for this category will get to experience walking while being blindfolded over a 1KM distance.
To celebrate the 5th edition of Run For Light, Ekiden 5KM Challenge is introduced. It is a team-based challenge of 5 runners and each runner will need to complete a 5KM run (total distance of 25KM per team). First runner of the team will be handed a sash which has to be passed to the second runner upon completing the 5KM run until the 5th or last runner has completed the final 5KM. The gun time taken from the sash will determine the fastest team of the day. The team can comprise of the same gender or mixed gender. The fastest team will be crowned as the champion.
