Run For Inclusion 2023 returns for its ninth edition
Bringing back its signature Blindfold Walk after a three-year hiatus, Run for Inclusion 2023 will take place in September 2023.
The event will take place on 2 September 2023 at 5pm at the Singapore Turf Club (STC), Kranji.
Participants select a preferred activity – running, walking or cycling – and a personalised distances of up to 3km or 5km run or walk, 10km run and an 18km cycling category with a tandem option specially designed to accommodate persons with special needs (PWSNs).
Fostering a sense of empathy and understanding for the challenges faced by PWSNs, this unique the Signature Blindfold Walk experience allows participants to partner up and engage in blindfolded walking. Participants can wear a blindfold for the first 500 metres, paired with a sighted person, before swapping roles for the next 500 metres. Participants can also choose to complete the route without blindfolds.
Run for Inclusion is organised by Runninghour, an inclusive sports co-operative and prominent advocate for integrating PWSNs through sports. The organisation will conduct free workshops as an added learning and integration opportunity. These workshops aim to raise awareness and provide guidance on supporting PWSNs in mainstream sports activities.
In addition to individual participants, this edition will include the involvement of schools and their students, either as ushers or active participants in the run. These participants play a vital role in contributing to the atmosphere, further amplifying the spirit of inclusivity while educating and inspiring the younger generation on the importance of embracing diversity.
