Runninghour 2015: Run So Others Can is an inaugural national event that is happening at The Promontory @ Marina Bay on the 22 March 2015 and it aims to use mainstream sports as a platform to promote integration and nurture an inclusive Singapore. It will be the first and only race in Singapore where participants run alongside over 200 visually, intellectually, and physically-challenged runners.

The running event will be a rallying call for Singaporeans to come together and show their support towards integrating people with special needs.

There are 4 race categories and registration fees are SGD$45 for the 5KM Run/Walk and SGD$50 for the 10KM Run/Walk. However, should you choose to participate in the category that includes a 1KM Blind Run, do note that for the first 1KM, you will run with your partner and one of you will be blindfolded while the other will act as the guide. The roles will swap at the 500m mark. If you do not have a partner for the Blind Run, you will be paired-up at the starting pent.

All registered runners will also receive a Personalised Race Bib, an Exclusive Race Entry Pack, an Exclusive Brooks Running Tee, and a Unique Braille Text Finisher Medal.
