Running Department is a community for runners, by runners. Every week, we host two free community runs to help you train for your next race — whether it’s your very first 5km, 10km or your first full marathon – we’ve got your covered! With different pace groups available, there’s a spot for every runner to feel at home.

Feel Good Wednesday Run

Kickstart your midweek with our Wednesday run in the heart of Marina Bay, starting and ending from the same meeting point. Choose from pace groups ranging from 5:00 min/km to 7:30 min/km led by our dedicated run crews.

Every session includes:

✅ Check-in with Healthy365 app
✅ Bag drop
✅ Short briefing
✅ Group photo
✅ Dynamic warm-up
✅ Flag-off by pace groups
✅ Cool-down & post-run hydration (thanks to 100PLUS Singapore!)

New here? Don’t worry! We offer a 5km route at a friendly pace (6:30 min/7:30 min), guided by seasoned run crews who’ll be happy to answer your questions. We’ve all been there — so you’ll be in good company!

One more thing! Be sure to check out our updated Wednesday check-in process.

📍 UOB Plaza, Raffles Place or Red Dot Design Museum
🕖 Wednesday, 7:00 PM
📏 5km–10km

Saturday Pace Runs

Need a longer training run? Our Saturday sessions are designed for half and full marathon preparation. Pacers will guide you through groups targeting marathon finish times (3hrs 45min, 4hrs 00min, 4hrs 15min, 4hrs 30min, 4hrs 45min, 5hrs 00min, 5hrs 15min and 5hrs 30min) and half marathon finish times (2hrs 00min, 2hrs 15min, 2hrs 30min, 2hrs 45min).

To make long runs more manageable, we use 6km loop routes with hydration (subjected to availability) every 3km in the midpoint — so you can adjust your distance (3km, 6km, 12km, 18km, etc.) depending on your training plan.

📍 Parkland Green, East Coast Park or Water Sports Centre, Sports Hub or Red Dot Design Museum
🕖 Saturday, 7.00am*
📏 12km–33km

*Our run venue, time and distance varies – please remember to check our Facebook, Instagram or Telegram for the latest updates. You can also view our monthly schedule here.

We often hear runners talking about a specific number or pace — so what exactly do they translate to?

Think of it this way: your pace is how many minutes it takes you to run 1 km. The steadier you keep to that pace, the more accurately you can predict your race finish time. Here’s the breakdown on the pace groups that we have for our Saturday training runs.

So whether you’re gunning for a sub-4 marathon, or simply aiming to enjoy your first 10K without stopping, our pace groups help keep you on track — literally.

Your safety matters to us! Help us keep our run smooth and enjoyable for all by taking note of the following:

• Arrive early – Be at the meeting point 10 to 15 minutes before start time.
• Weather updates & changes – In case of bad weather or programme adjustments, we’ll inform runners 60 minutes before start time on our social media channels.
• Listen to the briefing – It’s important that you listen to our briefing and to keep the noise volume low so that other runners can hear the briefing.
• Stay aware –  We share paths with pedestrians, cyclists, and other running communities.
• Keep to two abreast to ensure smooth flow for everyone.
• Look out for traffic at crossings – safety first!
• Hydrate! – While we provide hydration, it is important for runners to also bring along their own hydration and to drink up post-run.
• Stop if you feel unwell –  There’s always another run to crush!
• Help us keep our venue clean!
