The Breast Cancer Foundation’s Pink Ribbon Walk returns to Punggol Digital District at The Nexus on Saturday (24 October) from 4pm, with 3km and 5km routes for survivors, families and supporters. Breast Cancer Foundation frames the evening walk as its main Singapore gathering for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a free Bosom Buddies roadshow on the same site from 11am to 9pm.
Distances and timing
The physical walk is not a timed race. Entrants choose 3km or 5km on a lit evening route that stays mostly level, with water points along the way and toilets at the start and finish.
Registration for both the physical and virtual categories closed on 30 September. Confirmed walkers should bring their registration email with QR code and a valid ID when collecting entitlements. Anyone collecting for someone else needs a signed authorisation letter.
A virtual category runs separately from 1 to 31 October. Participants clock 42.195km anywhere, log activities on Strava linked to the race portal, and keep the same T-shirt and goodie bag entitlements for that category. Registration for the virtual walk was S$35 while it was open.
Roadshow and screening
The Bosom Buddies Roadshow fills the Nexus plaza through the afternoon and evening with family activities, games, a Pink Warriors bazaar and a stamp trail tied to a limited-edition BCF toy. Entry to the roadshow is free.
BCF also parks its Community Mammobus at the roadshow for mammogram slots.
Pets are not allowed on the walk. Strollers are discouraged because of crowd size. Cycling, rollerblading and skating are barred on the route. If a lightning alert is issued, BCF will pause or cancel the walk and update walkers by WhatsApp, email and social channels, with no refund of registration fees.
Getting there
Punggol Coast MRT (NE18) on the North East Line opens into the district at Exits 1 and 2. The Punggol LRT stop at Teck Lee (PW2) Exit B is another option. Buses 34, 34A, 44, 104, 117 and 117M serve Punggol Coast Interchange.
Car access is via Punggol Way near Towers 80, 82 and 84, with a drop-off at 90 Punggol Way. Goodie bag collection for registered walkers ran on 17 and 18 October; anyone who missed those days can collect from its office from 27 October onwards on weekday mornings and afternoons.
