The Kidney Dialysis Foundation’s Got To Ride returns on Sunday 15 November with a single 20km community ride from Bayfront Event Space, beside Marina Bay Sands. Entry is S$38, or S$53 with a rental bicycle and helmet, and registration is still open.
This is the second edition of the ride, run under the theme “Go the Distance, Make a Difference”. Money raised goes to needy dialysis patients, and the morning doubles as a kidney health awareness event.
The ride and who can enter
There is one category, the 20km Community Ride. The event runs from 6am to 10am, and flag-off is set for 6.30am, a time KDF marks as subject to change.
KDF bills the ride as open to riders and supporters of all ages, and the organiser has published no minimum age.
The S$53 ticket adds a helmet and the rental of one bicycle from Anywheel, KDF’s bike-sharing partner. Rental slots are limited and go first come, first served.
What the S$38 covers
Both tickets include an exclusive participant T-shirt and the rest of the race kit:
- a goodie bag
- a finisher medal
- carnival coupons
- entry to the lucky draw
Slots go on a first come, first served basis while they last, and the registration fees are not tax deductible. Anyone who wants to support KDF without riding can choose a separate Give As You Wish ticket on the registration page, which is an outright donation with a S$10 minimum and does not include a ride ticket, T-shirt or medal.
After the finish line
The carnival at Bayfront Event Space runs alongside the ride, with kidney health themed games, live performances and a dialysis experiential booth. The lucky draw for registered participants takes place on stage.
Bayfront Event Space sits at 12A Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018970.
Collecting the event pack
KDF ran event pack collection on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November at City Square Mall, Basement 1, Green Square, from 11am to 8pm. Those dates have passed, and KDF has not published how anyone registering now will receive a pack, so ask the organiser before paying.
