Let’s be real here – only a small handful of us here truly enjoy the feeling of doing a sweaty, sticky, painful run. Sweaty pits, stitches, and aching thighs? Urgh. Still, you can’t deny it’s good for health and it’s much better when rewards like super-cute merch await at the end.
If you enjoyed the Gudetama Walk that took place a couple of years ago, there’s a My Melody & Kuromi-themed event coming to Singapore this April 2023. Sign up for a virtual run or on-site walk to get your hands on adorable, exclusive merchandise and medals. Their event pack collection starts from 7th April 2023 so be sure to sign up soon!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a mega-fan of Sanrio or have a soft spot for anything cutesy. Get your hands on pink and purple-hued My Melody and Kuromi merch when you sign up for the event’s Spring Party Walk happening on 15th April 2023.

The event pack includes:

The finisher medal features one Sanrio character on each side, so you have 2 different designs to hang on your wall once you get home.
Good news, unlike similar events that start at the crack of dawn, this one starts at 8am. You’ll be embarking on a 3.5km jaunt along Punggol Waterway with 30 mini-games in-app (iOS, Andriod) to complete along the way.
Solve puzzles and play games across 4 zones.

As an added bonus, a lucky few will also be selected to receive a surprise door gift that includes themed bucket hats, keychains, and lapel pin sets. These prizes will be given out “randomly” but it probably won’t hurt to arrive early and be extra-nice to the event staff!

Now, if you prefer to challenge yourself to a run instead, sign up for the event’s Spring Sprint Virtual Run. Run at any time of the day, anywhere in Singapore – we recommend these running routes in the North and running routes in the CBD if you’re unsure of where to start.
This virtual run is also available in Malaysia.

Running distances range from 3km-15km and you can choose between receiving a My Melody or Kuromi medal to commemorate the accomplishment. Both are double sided and will be mailed to participants after the race is over. If you’d like both medals for keepsake, you can also top up $6 to get the other.
