Sesame Street Run - Running events in SG
I just completed my first official run event yesterday, and I am already thinking about when the next one will be! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
I was never really into running during my school days, but I started running more regularly last year to keep fit. One day, a colleague casually introduced me to the JomRun app and mentioned the many themed fun runs available in SG. 🐶🐱🐰
Since I was already running quite consistently, I thought joining one would be a fun experience and could even motivate myself to "train" more! 💨
The sesame street run I joined was held at marina barrage, with different distance options (2km, 4km and 6km). The fee came up to about $68+ after a $20 early bird discount (refer to last page for the breakdown). Even though I only signed up about 3 weeks before the event, i was still eligible for the early bird discount! Honestly, it is quite pricey but for the overall experience i would say it is worth it! It might be nice to attend something similar annually. On the day of the event, I topped up an additional $10 to get a customised engraving on my medal! 🌸🍀
💯would recommend!! If you have just started running, definitely consider joining these events for a fun and motivating experience! 🥳
If you're new to running or just looking for a fun way to stay active, joining themed runs like the Sesame Street Run in Singapore can be a total game changer. Beyond the excitement of the event itself, having a specific goal like this really motivates consistent training. I found that signing up about three weeks ahead still let me grab the early bird discount, so keep an eye out on apps like JomRun for deals! During the event, the atmosphere was vibrant and family-friendly, filled with participants from all fitness levels. The Marina Barrage location also added a scenic backdrop that made the run even more enjoyable. One of my favorite perks was customizing my finisher medal for a small additional fee—it adds that extra personal touch that keeps the memory alive. Based on my experience, these runs also offer a sense of community as you meet others with similar interests. If you're hesitant because you think these events are only for serious runners, I’d say think again. The variety in distance options (2km, 4km, 6km) means you can choose what suits you best. Plus, the themed aspect makes each run feel festive and less like a workout. If you plan to join, consider training consistently for a few weeks before the event to maximize your enjoyment and performance. Also, bring along friends or family—it’s a great way to bond and keep each other motivated. Keep an eye out on social media or running apps for upcoming fun runs like this; many offer unique themes and great swag worth the entry fee. Overall, the Sesame Street Run is a wonderful introduction to running events in Singapore, combining fitness, fun, and community in one memorable package. I’m excited to participate again and encourage others to try it out too.
