Health Advice

Read through the health advice and guidelines to help ensure a safe run.

BE COVID-19 SAFE


Look after yourself and those around you. If you feel unwell (i.e. fever, cough) please stay at home and don’t participate in the race.

If someone in your household tests positive for the virus, please stay at home or take an ART test before you leave home for your race.

 

BEAT THE HEAT


Choose your start time carefully to avoid the greatest heat and humidity of Singapore’s climate.

Start the race well-hydrated to avoid a heat injury. Drink sufficiently pre-event and avoid caffeinated drinks.

Stay well-hydrated during your run. Use a hydration belt or vest to carry fluids on your run. Your fluid intake should consist of a combination of water and electrolyte drinks.

PACE YOURSELF


Adapt your pace to your fitness level, the weather and other running conditions. Especially if you are not a regular runner, it’s a good idea to start off at a pace that is well within your physical comfort zone.

Slow down if you feel overly tired and giddy, or if you develop a headache and feel overheated.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY


Stop and seek medical attention if you start to have difficulty breathing, develop chest pain, or re-discover that old injury you have been ignoring.

Do not race if you have had an illness with fever in the week before the race.

 

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HEALTH


Be aware of your physical abilities and whether you are able to compete in this event without a health risk. 

Consult your doctor if you have a heart condition, have a family history of cardiac arrests, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or any other condition that may keep you from participating.

If you have specific medication for medical conditions or allergies, consider carrying it on you during your run.
