Recycling / No Cups racing

The average runner uses 3 paper cups over a 5km race. 

Over 5k, 10k, 21k and 50k, that’s a lot of cups. Let’s help save the environment racing with NO CUPS. Use a reusable bottle, hydration bag or a foldable cup during a race, and take only what you need. 

It just takes a small effort from everyone to make a big difference in the world we live in.

Finisher Medals

Below a sample of our cool 2017 finisher medal which all finishers will receive. Speak to those who finished last year as good quality. Distances of 10k/21k/50k on back of medal. (2017 version before for reference only)

FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.

A great introductory 50 km course to the Garden city for the expansion of the MSIG Action Asia 50 series as the Singapore course will offer fast course options with 10km, 21km and 50km covering mainly flat grass and dirt tracks with a little rolling flat sections, not terribly difficult compared to the Hong Kong and Taiwan MSIG Action Asia courses so enjoy the fast times.
