Race & Categories

Participants who sign up for ‘1KM Blindfold Walk’ category will make their way to the designated event venues to join the guide dog & the team from Guide Dogs Singapore Ltd (GDS) for the symbolic walk on event day. 1KM Blindfold Walk is a non-timed category. 

To keep our blindfold walk participants safe, the group size will be kept to 100 at each venue. A ‘LIVE’ streaming of the event will take place for everyone to feel the celebratory mood up close and personal.

Punggol Shore CSC (formerly known as Punggol North CSC), Sengkang Central CSC and Nee Soon CSC are Run For Light 2021 community partners which will see the symbolic 1KM blindfold walk taking place at the three venues:

• Punggol Town Square (helmed by Punggol Shore CSC)
• Sengkang Central CC (helmed by Sengkang Central CSC)
• Lower Seletar Reservoir Park (helmed by Nee Soon South CSC)

All 5KM and 10KM participants will commence their virtual run at their own preferred venue. There is a 2-day or 48-hour window (from 0001 hrs on 20 March 2021 to 2359 hrs on 21 Mar 2021) to complete the run using the event official timekeeper app. 

Runners who are participating in the 5KM and 10KM virtual run from wherever their start points are encouraged to join the 1KM blindfold walk contingent on 20 March, Saturday @ 1700 hrs for the flag-off via ‘LIVE’ streaming on Run For Light FB page.  However, runners can choose to run before or after the scheduled flag-off time on 20 March within the allotted 2-day window.
