The Mandai Wildlife Run will take off on 23 and 24 September 2023, as part of Singapore Zoo’s 50th anniversary or Golden ZOObilee celebrations.
Previously known as the Safari Zoo Run, Singapore’s signature wildlife run is back after a three-year hiatus, and the 13th edition will, for the first time, feature a line-up of health and wellness activities for all ages. From mindful yoga to dynamic spin classes, get charged prior to and on race days.
The refreshed format champions holistic wellness derived from being in touch with nature. Across the race venue, which spans Singapore Zoo, River Wonders and Night Safari, you can soak in the sights and sounds of nature and wildlife, and together, you can think about how to step forward for nature and wildlife by living more sustainably.
Participants are encouraged to Bring Your Own Bottle which can be refilled at water points throughout the parks to reduce waste, and they will receive medals recycled from past races.
The new Mandai Wildlife Run edition features all-new race categories, with something for everyone including a new leisure walk for seniors and corporate challenge. Running aficionados can take part in Day 1’s 5km Competitive Challenge (23 September 2023) to strive for their personal best. Day 2 (24 September 2023) will bring seniors, friends and families together for a fun time to bond with the 5km Fun Run, 5km Silvers Leisure Walk and 3.5km Ranger Buddies Family Dash.
