Singapore has a very rich culture entwined with running. In the 1920s, the sport of running emerged during the Kampong Era, when runners would run barefoot. Japanese occupation led to decades of strife, but in the 1960s, running was mandated as a way to honor and defend the country. By the 1970s, runners were wearing shoes, and the sport started getting more and more popular.

Runners during this time would often flock to East Coast Park, which has a 15km coastline perfect for running long distances. The first ever Singapore International Marathon was held in 1982, which has led to many other running competitions, including vertical stair marathons up some of Singapore’s tallest buildings.

In 2006, women stepped into the limelight with the first Shape Run. Each year since, the Shape Run has brought together thousands of women to celebrate their bravery and and camaraderie.
