Upcoming runs, marathons & sporting events in SG

Let’s be honest: how many of us are still tackling our New Year’s resolutions with the same vigour we had when 2026 began? We get it, staying motivated to hit the gym or head out for a quick jog can be tough, but having a goal can give you that push you need to lace up your trainers and sweat it out on a consistent basis.

If you need one to set you back on the right track, signing up for runs, marathons, and other fitness-oriented events to give yourself something to work towards might just be the right call. Here are a couple of them happening from September to December to mark on your calendar within Singapore so you can hop back on that training regimen ASAP.

Like its name suggests, the Great Eastern Women’s Run 2026 is a female-focused event; in fact, it’s the biggest of its kind in Singapore. Rather than being solely a performance-centric race, it aims to celebrate female strength, community, and wellness, while working up a sweat in doing so.

Keeping in trend with most of the other races on this list, the Great Eastern Women’s Run has quite a few categories. These include the usual 5km, 10km, and 21.1km runs, as well as the Mummy & Me runs, in which up to 3 girls can accompany their mum to take on a 2km route. There’s also the 100m Princess Dash that’s perfect for energetic little ones.

Registration for the Great Eastern Women’s Run 2026 has already closed, but its 1st November race day will be a milestone one, marking the event’s 20th anniversary. Race entitlements from previous editions included Cinnamoroll-themed goodies such as race bibs and finisher medals, and even a fluffy bag that sports the adorable pup’s droopy ears.

While tickets start at $38, PWSN and their caregivers get complimentary entry to the runs. Each participant will receive a finisher medal, event T-shirt, race tag, and a special blindfold to serve as mementoes of this meaningful event.
