Shopperholics will be familiar with Lazada, with its wide array of products available and money-saving deals. This year, the e-commerce platform has launched its Lazada Run 2023 in Southeast Asia and fitspo folks will be glad to know that the run will be taking place in Singapore too.
Mark your calendar as the race will happen on 23rd July 2023, so you have plenty of time to start building up your muscles and training your endurance. There are 4 categories you can enter: 21km, 10km, 5km, and the Kids Dash. The age requirements are as follows:
All runs will flag off and end at Marina Barrage. The route takes the runners through Marina Promenade and even East Coast Park, depending on the race category.
Friends and family heading down to show their support can also grab a spot at the Barrage Green Roof as participants will pass by this area on their way to the finish line. Take this chance to snap commemorative photos of their hard work.

We promise all that huffing and puffing will be well worth it. Each category will be split into men and women, so there’ll be 2 winners for each category. Those who’ve decided to go for the big boy, AKA the 21km race, will be thrilled to know that the fastest runner will take home a S$3,000 cash prize. The runner up will be awarded S$2,000, and the 3rd place will get S$1,000.
There will be cash prizes for those running in the 10km race too, as a big pat on the back for enduring the long journey. The prize allocation are as follows:
Participate in 1 race and be eligible for 2 cash prizes.

Listen up competitive peeps, those of you participating in the 10km and 21km races have a chance to win even more money.
Winners from Lazada Run events held in other parts of Southeast Asia previously will be flown in to SG to compete in these 2 categories as well. Everyone participating in these races will automatically be eligible for the Ultimate Challenge which gives the fastest runners an opportunity to win an additional cash prize if they have the overall fastest timing.
There’ll only be 1 male and 1 female winner for this run, so may the fastest runner persevere to reach their best timing. Here’s what you’re racing for:
Registration for the Lazada Run 2023 is now open, and you’ll want to race to sign up by 30th April 2023 before the early bird promotion for 20% off is over. You can still sign up for the race after the promo period has ended, and registration will officially close on 30th June 2023.
21km finishers will get an extra finisher t-shirt too.

Onto the swag bag. Every runner will receive a canvas race tote, finisher medal, race bib, and a swanky new Puma shirt to rock during the race. Kiddos who take part in the Kids Dash will also snag an adorable keychain of Lazada’s mascot, Lazzie. You can expect to collect your race kit in mid July 2023 at SingPost POPStations or the Lazada office at Bras Basah.
Don’t pull a Carrie Bradshaw and say “shopping is my cardio”. Take the first step in clocking in some actual cardio by signing up for the Lazada Run 2023 and joining your fellow runners in the scenic route around Marina Barrage. With sweet prizes that include $3,000 in cash, all that sweating will be worth it.
