Run For Hope 2013 will flag off at 7am on 17 November at The Promontory @ Marina Bay. Registration is now open.
Four Seasons Hotel Singapore and Regent Singapore, together with the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), have opened registrations for this year’s 3.5/10km charity run.
The two Four Seasons hotels are celebrating 21 years of supporting cancer research through their annual charity run.
Since the inaugural run in 1993, Run For Hope has become one of Singapore’s largest charity runs raising awareness and support for cancer research.
This will be the sixth year that NCCS is the beneficiary.
The 2012 event saw more than 10,000 runners, raising close to S$450,000.
This year, organisers aim to draw 15,000 participants and achieve a target of S$600,000.
On event day, participants stand the chance to win some fantastic prizes, including overseas stays at a number of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
A non-competitive run with two distance options, Run For Hope continues to draw support across all sectors: the young and the old, individuals, families and groups, clubs and corporate.
Last year’s inaugural Executive Challenge – which saw participation from 10 large corporations and their senior management – will return for 2013.
Executives are encouraged to take the lead by registering a corporate team of 20 runners or more as part of their CSR efforts.
Fundraising efforts have already started at both the hotels and to date, over S$3,800 has already been raised by staff, and many more fundraising activities are planned leading up to the November run.
Participants and supporters for Run For Hope 2013 can go online for registration, event information and online donations.
