SAFRA S'pore Bay Run/ Army 21km Half-Marathon 28 August 2016

The SAFRA Singapore Bay Run and Army Half Marathon returns after a one-year hiatus on 28 August with the 24th edition of its signature event.
The event, themed “Together We Run”, is aimed at promoting fitness and strengthening the bond among Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) national servicemen and their families.

The 21km Army Half Marathon will cover a longer distance along Shenton Way to allow the flow of runners to space out before reaching the Marina Barrage and minimise congestion, organisers said.
Participants will also be running along the Stadium Park Connector, which will bring them closer to the Sports Hun and minimise the number of sharp turns in the route, they added.
“The running routes have been fine-tuned over the years to endure a smooth flow…while enabling participants to enjoy the spectacular view of Marina Bay and its iconic developments,” SAFRA said in a statement.

Two giant inflatables, inspired by the SAF Standard Obstacle Course, will also be introduced during the event and will be located at the Promontory @ Marina Bay to enable SAF national servicemen to share a part of their NS experience with their loved ones in a fun way, organisers said.
The event will also feature the annual “Families for Life 800m Challenge”, which will now steer away from “father-and-child” only teams and will now include mothers.
Registration for the run closes on 28 July.

The SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon took a break last year and we are now back in full swing. Organised by SAFRA and the Army, the signature event will be held on Sunday, 28 August 2016.
It will feature two competitive categories – the 21km Army Half Marathon and SAFRA 10km Race, as well as two non-competitive categories – the SAFRA 5km Fun Run and Families for Life 800m Challenge.
Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Operationally Ready NSmen (ORNS) and those who have completed their ORNS training cycles will continue to enjoy a significant discount of over 75 percent on registration fees for the 21km, 10km and 5km categories. Their immediate family members and also those of SAF active servicemen will enjoy more attractive registration packages from as low as $9 for the 5km category onwards.
We look forward to seeing you and your family at the 24th edition of the SSBR & AHM this year.
