Themed “A Nation Beyond Second Chances”, the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run (YRPR) 2024 aims to unite communities across Singapore to create an inclusive society where inmates and ex-offenders are given second chances and beyond in their reintegration journey and strive for opportunities to be uplifted. Together, we will be marking the 20th anniversary of the Yellow Ribbon Project and celebrating 20 years of Championing Second Chances!
YRPR 2024 will be held on Sunday, 1 September, 7.00am, commencing at the SAF Open Field, Farnborough Road at Changi Village and ending inside the Changi Prison Complex. 10km and 5km runners will have the opportunity to run through the historic Old Changi Prison Wall.
New Category – Kids Dash (700m)
In addition to the usual 10km competitive run and 5km run categories, this year marks the introduction of a Kids Dash (700m) category, as YRPR seeks to inspire our younger generation on the Yellow Ribbon Project!
This new and exciting category aims to bring together young participants aged between 6 and 12 for a fun and thrilling 700-meter race inside the Changi Prison Complex. The Kids Dash is designed to promote physical activity and confidence, and to provide an unforgettable experience for the children involved.
Kids Dash Category participants and kids under the Family Category will receive exclusive entitlements. Check out the entitlements section below!

Fundraising for Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF)
Every kilometre covered by participants in support of the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run, provides a concrete display of solidarity in offering beyond second chances to all and support towards making a difference in the lives of our ex-offenders and their families.
The Yellow Ribbon Project would also be cordially inviting our donors to match this resounding display of community support by pledging $5 for every kilometre completed by each participant or inmate. Funds raised would go towards the building of reintegration programmes for ex-offenders and their families.
Should you wish to donate, you could donate directly to our Yellow Ribbon Fund via the following link.
Launched in June 2004, the Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF) is the first national charitable fund devoted entirely towards the development and implementation of rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for inmates, ex-offenders and their families.
