Singapore Running Event Organisers, Do you Know Them? (Part 1)

We had 156 races in Singapore in 2015, with at least 1 race occurring almost every week – that shows how running is a popular culture in Singapore. While some may say that the races in Singapore are growing saturated, it is still no doubt that the local running community is still growing and more people are joining these races. And whether people are joining races or returning to races, are dependent on how well a race is organised. These are the 3 biggest running event organisers in Singapore, do you know them?

On the other hand, they also have Black Dot, another subsidiary that takes care of event marketing and public relations, sponsorship management.
