Asia’s largest and favourite All-Women Run is back and its bigger and better! The run, commissioned by Great Eastern Life and organised by HiVelocity Events Pte Ltd, will take place on Sunday, 10 November 2013, and the race will see participants run past iconic landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, Merlion Park, Esplanade, Singapore Flyer, F1 Pit Building and the upcoming Singapore Sports Hub. Both the start and finish points will be at The Float@Marina Bay.

The Great Eastern Women’s Run will feature three categories and they are the 5km Live Great! Fun Run Category, the 10km [Open/Closed] Category, and the 21.1km Half Marathon [Open/Closed] Category.

This year, two new sub categories have also been added for the 10km and 21km run where runners from the same company can sign up in teams of four if they don’t wish to run alone.

As per last year, participants can opt to run for a good cause. They can select from four women-related charities or run for a cause they personally endorse. The four charities are the Breast Cancer Foundation, the Singapore Cancer Society [Cervical Cancer Prevention Fund], the Singapore Heart Foundation, and the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations.

Registration is now open and the early bird promotion will conclude on 21 July 2013.

Similarly, Great Eastern policyholders, OCBC cardholders and 2012 Great Eastern Women’s Run loyal runners will also enjoy a special rate until 21 July 2013.

The special launch event for the Great Eastern Women’s Run will be taking place this Saturday, 20 July 2013, from 4pm at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Grand Lawn I and to encourage stronger family bonds and friendship ties, the special launch event has been organised as a family-themed carnival, along with a preview of the fringe activities that runners can look forward to.

Women who pre-registered for the special launch event can take part in the Live Great Fitness Fiesta, where there will be live demonstrations of the latest dance crazes in Singapore such as the Bokwa and Tahiti Dance. Instructors from True Fitness and Tahiti Dance and Fitness will be conducting the live demonstrations. Although the RSVP list is currently full, all ladies are still welcomed to join in the workout at 4pm!

As a way for friends and family to show their love and support, a pledge board will be put up at Bishan Park, allowing them to pledge their support for their loved ones as the women take up the challenge of living healthier.

Other exciting activities include a scrapbook making competition, where anyone can take photos at the photo booth, decorate them, and pen motivational messages for the women they are supporting. Kids will also be spoilt for choices with exciting activities such as face painting, balloon sculpting, and even a game of mini soccer with their dads.
