Registration for the 2XU Singapore Compression Run 2027 is open, and the early bird rate runs until 30 November 2026. The race is on Sunday 21 March 2027 from the F1 Pit Building, with a 21.1km half marathon, a 10km and a 5km between 4am and 10am.
What each distance costs
Fees include GST and come in three tiers. The loyalty rate is for anyone who ran the event between 2019 and 2026 and registers through the official website.
- 21.1km (ages 16 to 99): S$115 loyalty, S$125 early bird, S$145 normal
- 10km (ages 14 to 99): S$95 loyalty, S$105 early bird, S$115 normal
- 5km (ages 12 to 99): S$85 loyalty, S$95 early bird, S$105 normal
The normal rate applies from 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027. Booking before 30 November saves S$20 on the half marathon, but only S$10 on the 10km and the 5km. The loyalty rate sits S$10 under early bird at every distance.
Entry standard and cut-off times
Runners under 18 need a parent’s consent. Each distance has a cut-off:
- 21.1km: 4 hours
- 10km: 2 hours 30 minutes
- 5km: 1 hour 30 minutes
Half marathon runners start in five pens by predicted finish time. Pen A is for runners under two hours and pen B for 2:00 to 2:15, followed by C (2:16 to 2:30), D (2:31 to 3:00) and E (over three hours). Places in A and B need proof by 31 January 2027, in the form of an official result from a race held since 1 January 2025. Strava and Garmin records do not count. Finishers of the 2026 half marathon whose official time qualifies for A or B are placed there automatically.
Covered running shoes are compulsory. Wheels of any kind, prams and animals are not allowed on the course.
Race morning
Race packs, the information counter and baggage deposit open at 2.30am. The half marathon flags off at 4.15am, the 10km at 6.30am and the 5km at 8am. Runners should arrive 30 minutes before their start, or an hour early if they plan to deposit a bag.
The nearest station is Promenade on the Circle Line (CC5). From Exit A it is a five-minute walk towards the Singapore Flyer. Paid shuttle buses will also run from selected MRT stations.
What the fee covers
Every runner receives a race singlet, an oversized tee designed by the artist E.NUF, a tote bag, a race bib with timing and a finisher medal. Half marathon finishers also get a finisher tee.
Refunds and changes
Withdrawals made before 31 December 2026 get a 50 per cent refund. After that date there is no refund, and entries bought through third-party platforms are not refundable at all. Entries cannot be transferred to another runner.
Correcting personal details costs S$15 before 31 December 2026. Switching distance also costs S$15 and is allowed until 31 January 2027. Moving down a distance brings no refund of the price gap, while moving up means paying the difference. A lost bib costs S$15 to replace.
