Over 1,500 participants took part in the Singapore Kindness Run which was held for the third year at the National Stadium last Saturday (3 Aug).
This year’s run is a ground up initiative by Runners’ Heart-Reach, in collaboration with the Singapore Kindness Movement, conjointly with the launch of Get Active Singapore (GASG) 2019.
The primary objective of the run is to build a more gracious and kinder running community with participants encouraging one another, keeping the running route litter-free, and adhering to running etiquette that accommodates slower-paced runners.
