The History of The Singapore Runners Convention

Inaugurated in 2015, the Runners Convention was held at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. Brought together by the TrainLiveCompete (TLC) Committee, it was the largest inaugural Runners Convention in Southeast Asia. Providing athletic education and training to the global running community, that highly successful event brought together a spectacular assembly of international top runners and running enthusiasts of all expertise levels.

Among the elite, international runners participating were local top runner Mok Ying Ren, Team Northface 5 – time Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) Winner Lizzy Hawker, and Team Salomon’s Rick Lightfoot, International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) Trail World Championships Winner.

Organisers of the 4 Deserts Race Series “Racing The Planet” and Vietnam Marathon also made an appearance at the 2015 Singapore Runners Convention. The focus of the many popular workshops conducted by international experts included Cross Core 180, Preventing Sports Injuries, Sports Taping, Yoga, and much more.

2016 Action-Packed Schedule Of Events

Calling all running enthusiasts, trainers, coaches, race organisers, and sports brand distributors, this 2nd edition of the Runners Convention promises to be even more spectacular than the inauguration. To be held on the weekend of 16 and 17 January, the 2016 Singapore Runners Convention will take place at the Devan Nair Institute for Employment and Employability (next to Jurong East IMM) on Saturday. The race around MacRitchie Reservoir, featuring the elite, internationally famous runners, is open to all and will take place on Sunday.

Offering an exceptional bird’s-eye view of this stunning tropical rainforest, a 250-metre aerial free-standing suspension bridge, known as The Treetop Walks, spans the two highest points within the park. There is also an excellent canoe shed and a newly improved pontoon for kayakers to liven up the fun out on the water.
