This Charity Run Lets You Score Biz Class Tickets To Countries Like Germany, USA & South Korea

Star Alliance Run 2022

As much as we dread hearing mentions of the big C, the pandemic has admittedly shed a brighter light on our healthcare heroes and their contributions to the country. To give back and raise funds for these medical staff, organisations such as Star Alliance have initiated charity events to provide a platform for everyone to showcase their support.

Happening on 9th October 2022, the Star Alliance Run 2022 is inviting everyone to join in and run for a good cause. Here’s what you can expect:

Support healthcare workers by joining a marathon

Whether you’re a regular marathoner or a newbie starting out your fitness journey, this charity run will not discriminate against your fitness level. You’ll have 2 routes to choose from – the beginner-friendly 5km or the hardcore 10km.

Pop on your sneakers and number tag and start the race at the OCBC Square on 9th October 2022. For those going for the 10km course, you’ll start at 8am. The rest doing the 5km route will begin at 9am. The route will have you running along the Kallang River, and then back to the finish line at OCBC Square.

All participants will get a nifty run pack.

As this event is self-timed, participants are encouraged to bring their own tracking device or download free tracking apps such as Strava (App Store | Google Play). Registration fees go at $55 for the 5km course and $75 for the 10km option, with proceeds going to the frontline healthcare staff under The Courage Fund and Healthcare Humanity Awards.

If you’re itching to join the race, be sure to sign up soon as registration will close on 27th September 2022.

Score free business class flights to Europe, US, & Asia
