In the crowded lineup of Singapore running events, the 2XU Compression Run 2026 stands out as a must-do race this April. Renowned for its cutting-edge compression sportswear innovation, 2XU’s signature race returns on Sunday, 5 April 2026, kicking off at the iconic F1 Pit Building in the Marina Bay precinct.

Under the brand’s empowering theme “Human Performance. Multiplied.”, this event invites runners to push beyond their limits and chase personal bests in the heart of the Lion City.
Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a casual jogger, the 2XU Compression Run promises an unforgettable experience. Like its previous editions, 2026’s race features three categories – the iconic 21.1km half marathon, a 10km run, and a 5km run – ensuring runners of all levels have a suitable challenge.
Participants will race through Singapore’s downtown streets at dawn, soaking in scenic city views and iconic landmarks around Marina Bay and the CBD. An early morning flag-off (as early as 4:15 a.m. for the half marathon) means cooler temperatures and a refreshing breeze along the route, helping runners perform at their peak.
New Gear and Race Entitlements for 2026
One highlight of the 2XU Compression Run 2026 is the all-new race apparel in every participant’s pack. All runners will receive a premium 2XU running singlet and the newly introduced unisex oversized tee, a stylish performance shirt designed for comfort and cooling support in Singapore’s tropical climate. This oversized tee – debuting for the first time in 2026 – embodies the event’s ethos of combining style with function, allowing runners to recover in comfort or proudly wear their achievement post-race.
Participants also enjoy a host of race entitlements that reflect 2XU’s commitment to quality. Every runner will take home a finisher’s medal and a handy tote bag, along with a personalised race bib and timing chip for an accurate race result.
Half marathon finishers earn an additional reward: a exclusive 2XU finisher’s tee commemorating their 21.1km accomplishment. These race goodies underscore 2XU’s reputation for high-performance running gear and give participants tangible mementos of their hard work.
On-Course Hydration and Cooling Support
Race day support at the 2XU Compression Run 2026 will be second to none. Organisers have listened to runner feedback and introduced enhancements in route logistics, hydration and on-ground support to ensure a smooth, enjoyable run for all. Well-stocked refuel stations will be strategically placed along the courses, providing water, isotonic drinks and possibly energy gels to keep runners fueled.
To beat the tropical heat, runners can expect cooling support measures – from early pre-dawn start times to cooling zones or ice-cold sponges – so everyone stays safe and refreshed even as the sun rises. Medical teams and enthusiastic volunteers will be on standby throughout, embodying the 2XU spirit of community and care.
With these improvements in distance accuracy, course flow, and support, every participant can focus on giving their best, living up to the “Human Performance. Multiplied.” mantra.
Race Pack Collection and Pre-Race Preparations
All registered runners can collect their Race Entry Pack ahead of the event at the designated Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC). The REPC will be held at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre (Level 4, Hall 405) from 2–4 April 2026.
Multiple days are provided for convenience, with extended pick-up hours (11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Thu/Fri, and until 5:00 p.m. on Sat). This central location in the city makes it easy for participants to pick up their race singlet, oversized tee, bib, and other entitlements. Runners are encouraged to attend early to avoid last-minute crowds – and it’s a perfect opportunity to soak in the pre-race excitement.
(Tip: Keep an eye out for any mini expo booths or 2XU merchandise sales at the REPC – a great chance to gear up with the latest performance running gear before race day.)
