Run for Life Singapore 2026

Run for Life Singapore 2026 brings individuals, parents and children, mentor–mentee pairs, community teams and corporate groups together on Saturday 21 November 2026 to support Life Community, which serves over 800 children and families from vulnerable and low-income backgrounds in Singapore.

The official in-person run/walk takes place at Silver Garden, Gardens by the Bay, from 7:00am to 11:00am Singapore time. Participants can choose an inclusive 2.4 km route or a 5 km route, running or walking at their own pace. This is a community fundraising occasion, not a conventional competitive half marathon or timed marathon. The organiser has not published separate verified 2.4K and 5K flag-off times, so the listed 7am is the overall event opening, not an invented race start.

The campaign continues beyond race day: registered participants can log running/walking activities through their participant dashboard, share their personal or team fundraising profiles, and receive donations until 31 December 2026. Life Community has set a goal of 500 champions helping raise S$500,000 to sustain care, mentoring and social-emotional support programmes.

Race-day details: Runners should wear suitable shoes, bring water and follow marshals and medical staff. The organiser says the event generally takes place in rain unless severe weather makes participation unsafe. Race packs include an event T-shirt, finisher medal and goodie bag; bring valid ID and show the QR code/bib number on your registration profile when collection opens. The final collection dates and hours are still awaiting publication.

Getting there: Silver Garden is the group of smaller Supertrees within the Heritage Gardens section, close to Dragonfly Lake at Gardens by the Bay. The site is accessible from Bayfront MRT and Gardens by the Bay MRT. The map now points to Silver Garden itself, not a generic Gardens by the Bay entrance.

Registration and fundraising: Registration options and fees vary with the runner/team campaign. Consult the official event page before paying or donating. Exact per-distance registration prices are not publicly confirmed, so ARC deliberately does not display fabricated fee cards.
