Skechers Electric Run

With conventional sporting events becoming increasingly popular in Singapore over the years, event organisers have started to jump onto the themed-run bandwagon. From night races, colour, to zombie runs, Singapore will see its first nighttime walk/run/dance event in an electric wonderland scattered with unique lights and music. Expect to see neon trees, coloured fountains, tunnels of light, glowing lakes and rivers and more along the 5 km running route! Participants will also receive LED bracelets, glow-in-the-dark necklaces and sunglasses. We’re betting that this is the brightest run you've ever been to. How’s this for taking novelty to a whole new level?
