The SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon (SSBR & AHM) will return this year as a virtual run from 25 September to 23 October 2022. Runners can continue to enjoy the flexibility and convenience of being able to chart their own preferred running routes and run anytime during the month-long event to support their fitness goals.
The virtual event will feature the signature 21km Half Marathon, 21km Cumulative Challenge and Families for Life 10km Cumulative Challenge. In commemoration of 55 years of National Service, a new NS55 Cumulative Team Challenge has also been introduced to encourage SAF NSmen to participate together in teams of up to five members and complete a total distance of 55km.
Jointly organised by SAFRA and the Singapore Army to promote an active fitness culture and strengthen bonds among national servicemen (NSmen) and their families, the 28th edition of the event builds on the success of its first virtual edition held last year which attracted close to 29,000 participants, making it the largest virtual run in Singapore.
