Rainbow Of Light
Seven colours form a rainbow and this is the 7th edition of Run For Light. Befittingly, the theme for this year is Rainbow of Light which signifies HOPE emerging from a very challenging period the world has seen. The annual run event did not beat a hasty retreat when the pandemic struck but pressed on with virtual runs in the previous two editions. The 7th edition run will return with an on-site race scheduled on 14th May 2022, Saturday at Punggol Waterway Park and a virtual race from 14th to 15th May 2022, Saturday & Sunday.
Let the seven colours in the “Rainbow of Light” shine bright in the 7th edition of Run For Light. Live Well, Race Well & All Will be Well!

FAQs
1. What is the difference between on-site run and virtual run?
On-site run requires presence of runners on race day whereas virtual run only needs runners to choose their own run route and run at their own time. As the flag off is scheduled on 14 May, Saturday at 1700 hrs, all on-site and virtual run will commence at the same time. For virtual run, the duration to complete is over 2 days from 14 to 15 May powered by event official timekeeper tracker app.
Podium finishers for on-site 10KM run will be declared on race day and they will walk away with trophies and sport products. On-site 5KM fun run is non-competitive. For virtual runners, their results will be recognised for Qooline Run Challenge – Tiger Series June bi-monthly race (www.qoolinerun.com) which will be based on birth year of runner and completion time. Podium finishers for virtual run will walk away with trophies and shopping vouchers.
Sign up for virtual run does not include event tee which can be purchased at S$12 per tee.

Though it is a virtual run but it is still a competition race.

Only results captured on the tracker app is recognised. For the physical on-site run, the results are determined on race day.

6. Must I be fully vaccinated before I can sign up?
If you have signed up for the physical race, you need to be fully vaccinated and proof of your vaccination status via TraceTogether app has to be shown at point of race entry.

We urge everyone to have their vaccination if they are medically fit to do so to keep everyone safe. No one is safe until everyone is safe.
