Eager to get "all charged up" at the upcoming Electric Run on 3 September? Happily, you're not required to plug yourself into a wall socket or stick a battery between your teeth to be part of this long-awaited night run.

Instead, plan to celebrate your ability to light up the night sky with so much collective energy, runners may even be able to muster enough excitement to power Singapore's skyline!

About Electric Run

Do you love the idea of being part of something that's bigger than yourself? If you're nodding your head, this should be at the top of your competitive event list because this isn't a Singapore-only run, but a popular international affair held in cities like Los Angeles, Dubai and London. In all, 30 cities have hosted this event, attracting millions of runners from all corners of the earth.

Will the Singapore Electric Run be better than every other iteration? Of course it will — so even if you don't plan to run the 5km circuit, you can still revel in the side shows and entertainments that make this night-time affair truly original.

Expect heart-pounding music to accompany you along the race route, so leave your iPad and earbuds home. The music will pulsate with energy and music genres will change as runners enter music zones guaranteed to pump up spirits, including night owl kids over the age of 3.

If running as a team member is your favourite way to enjoy this sort of spectacular night run, don't pout. You can register a team of four without corralling your other three mates. Start with one person (that's you) and then begin collecting your team of running buddies, reminding each that there are only three slots on your team, so they need to commit fast.

Electric Run is back! Brighter lights, louder beats and recharged course lands heading to Singapore.

What to Expect

To begin with, forget about your standard fashion scene. We can't tell you what to wear when you show up because this night isn't like other marathons: it's a party in every sense of the word.

Every registered runner is invited to dress to the max and if you like to glow, don every Day-Glo accessory in your possession — the more the merrier — before you arrive at the iconic Marina Barrage at 6 p.m. to get your party started.

We see you pouting because you have no Day-Glo stuff in your closet. Cheer up! Your race pack will include a t-shirt and glow gear and you can buy some stuff when you register that's guaranteed to light you up, blink or glow so you couldn't get lost along the run route if you tried.

In fact, thanks to Electroband technology, every race participant will literally become one with the night and the beat, because your LED bracelet will guide you to and through dance party zones and deliver you to the ultimate destination: the finish line party fired up by a live DJ and hundreds of your new BFFs.

After all, when you put on that bracelet, you're connected at the speed of light.
