The 17th edition of the Great Eastern Women’s Run (GEWR) returns to full swing and registrations were launched on 24 May 2023 at Raffles Place by Ms Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and Mr Khor Hock Seng, Group Chief Executive Officer, Great Eastern.
The 2023 event – which will be held on Sunday, 29 October at the Singapore Sports Hub – returns for the first time to full, pre-pandemic scale and will feature six categories of race activities, up from the four last year. The two additional categories are the 21.1km half marathon, as well as the 100m Princess Dash for three- to six-year-olds. They supplement the four categories from last year: the by-invite-only 21.1km half marathon for local elite runners, as well as the categories for members of the public of 10km, 5km, and the 2km ‘Mummy and Me’ run for ladies with daughters aged five to 12.

In addition to the 21.1km elite by-invite-only category, cash prizes will also be awarded to the top three finishers of the 21.1km and 10km local closed categories, with more than $18,000 of prize money to be given out.
At the launch event, Minister of State Low Yen Ling ran alongside representatives from Great Eastern, Daughters Of Tomorrow, Singapore Cancer Society and Singapore elite runner and SEA Games participant Vanessa Lee on treadmills to mark the official opening of the race’s registration, as well as the start of the fundraising campaign by Great Eastern’s employees and financial representatives. The runners were flagged off by Mr Khor, Great Eastern Group CEO. This display of solidarity fully exemplifies this year’s race slogan of ‘Start Strong, Finish Great’. For each kilometre the fundraisers clock between 24 May and 30 September, Great Eastern will donate $1 to the beneficiary organisations Daughters Of Tomorrow and Singapore Cancer Society. All race registrations during the Launch Event on 24 May also attracted a $5 donation from Great Eastern.

Khor Hock Seng, Group Chief Executive Officer, Great Eastern, said: “Every woman deserves a great run in life. The Great Eastern Women’s Run has been the game-changing race for generations of women through championing female wellness and bonding while motivating women to unlock their own versions of greatness. The run has also become a tremendous force for uplifting communities in Singapore. Over the next five months, our Great Eastern employees and financial representatives will fundraise actively for beneficiary organisations Daughters Of Tomorrow and Singapore Cancer Society, with the support of Community Chest.”
The funds raised will go towards programmes supporting underprivileged women in their back-to-work journey and helping cancer survivors to integrate into everyday life and to regain a strong sense of community and identity.
