Gone are the good ol’ days when a run consisted of slapping on track shoes and heading down the HDB block for a few rounds around the estate. No more. There are plenty of funky themed-runs to check out these days, ranging from the super kawaii – the Pokémon run is one good example, to the downright wacky (teh tarik run, anyone)?
Nevertheless, there’s only one run in the world that’s worthy of getting “in disguise” for, and that’s the Transformers Run, which will have its first edition at Palawan Green, Sentosa, on 6 January, 2018, from 12pm to 8pm.
Organised by I-PROMO, and based on the gen one storyline where the Autobots and Decepticons engage in a civil war, this 5-km run will have Transformers characters like Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Starscream, Megatron, and Grimlock placed around the race grounds for picture-taking, while each participant will also receive exclusive merchandise and coupons.
That’s not all though. Besides the run, there will also be a carnival at the event, with booths, games, and activities to check out. Think NERF game trials, inflatables, balloon sculptures, on-stage contests, and food and beverage stalls. In other words, it’s all the family fun you can think of squeezed into a single day!
And there’s a charitable aspect too. A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to social services supported by the Community Chest, as well as vulnerable families in the South West District, so there’s a good reason to buy a ticket if there was any.
If you’re interested in attending the event, ticket prices start at $85, and participants will receive a medal (automatically of course), an event T-shirt, a drawstring bag, water bottle, as well as a wristband. There are no age limits for the run.
