Pick your distance

The 10km run comes in two forms: an individual entry, or a team of up to four friends, family members or colleagues. Both are in the running for prizes.

The 3.2km route is billed as a friendly walk or recreational run, open to all ages and fitness levels. Families can instead try the Family Fitness Challenge, a set of stations built around dumbbell movements, a SkiErg, sandbags and bodyweight exercises, completed as a team. There is also an Inflatable Ninja Challenge among the fringe activities.

Where the money goes

PULSE is a fundraiser with a collective target of S$1 million. Proceeds go to the Community Development and Welfare Fund, which supports vulnerable residents through local grassroots organisations, as well as youth development and the preparation of national athletes. Beneficiaries include The Hut, PPIS Family Services and Singapore Athletics, which is raising support for its athletes on the road to the 2027 SEA Games.

The six divisions taking part are Braddell Heights, Geylang Serai, Kembangan, MacPherson, Marine Parade and Mountbatten.

Getting there

Stadium MRT on the Circle Line is the closest station, with Gate 9 a few gates along on the stadium’s eastern side. Mountbatten MRT, also on the Circle Line, is a 600m walk. The organisers recommend public transport and arriving early, since station crowds can build on event days.

The organisers have not stated a cut-off time, a minimum age for the 10km or a refund policy. Questions can go to any community club in Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC or Mountbatten SMC.
