I love the Zoo. If anything, it helps me relive memories of seeing some of my favourite animals like elephants and lions during primary school excursions, which is a great feeling as I slowly creep towards the wrong side of the 20s.
If you’re a fellow adult and are itching to head back to Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, mark your calendars for the Safari Zoo Run 2019 happening on 24th February. Unlike the typical marathon set amidst the CBD area, look forward to sweating it out amidst adorable critters – and all for a good cause to boot.

On top of racing through Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, this year’s runners will be able to explore the lush River Safari – for the first time in the run’s 11 year history. Whether it’s popping by the Amazon Flooded Forest to meet Canola the manatee or getting a glimpse of the park’s river-dwellers, there’ll be plenty to keep you occupied for sure.
You won’t be going through all that physical activity for nothing either. This year, Wildlife Reserve Singapore’s 4 park icons will each champion a conservation cause. You can choose the team you’d like to run for during registration!

Participants are also encouraged to go green for the run – so make sure to bring your own water bottles!

Singapore Zoo is a great family spot, and I’ve got a Polaroid snap of my parents holding me and an orangutan with a big smile on our faces to prove it. With the spirit of bonding in mind, this year’s run will be having 2 new race categories that are perfect for the entire family.
Get your little ones to join you in the Safari Zoo Duo Dash and Safari Zoo Junior Dash, where adults can team up with their kids for a competitive 2km race. But those that are looking forward to flexing their fitspo skills can head straight for the Safari Zoo Challenge – a competitive 12km stretch to test your endurance levels.

But if running ain’t your cuppa tea, opt for the Safari Zoo Walk. This leisurely 4km stroll will let you join in the fun and appreciate the surrounding flora and fauna along the way. Plus, this is great for families with tots in strollers.
