Soak Up the Sun at SunNUS 2015, The Beach Fiesta of The Year!

Set to be the most exciting, fun-filled beach experience you will ever have, the SunNUS will be happening on Saturday, 23 May 2015 at Silosa Beach Sentosa! Back with its third edition, SunNUS is the largest and most anticipated beach event for NUS alumni, students and staff. Running from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the fiesta is open to the general public too.

Get pumped for the Mount Imbiah Challenge! In this 7km multi-terrain race, runners will be brought through Sentosa's fine beaches and pristine nature trails encircling the 72m tall Mount Imbiah. And what better way to end your run by whizzing down to the beach at 50km/h by Asia's most extreme zipline—yes, you heard that right! This year, a new water inflatable course is added at the end of the zipline, making this not just a multi-terrain but multi-element race conquering Land, Air and Sea!

Adrenaline-seeking families, this one's specially catered for you! There will also be a non-competitive 3km Family Challenge, creating unforgettable experiences for parents and children aged 4 and up.

At the same time, the Team Sport Series will be held for sports enthusiasts and avid hobbyists. Assemble your teams and compete to clinch the top spots in the Captain's Ball, Ultimate Frisbee, Handball, Soccer, Touch Rugby and Volleyball categories.

To make things even sweeter, there will be stage performances and fringe activities throughout the event for all to take part in. Absolutely no registration—and so, no fees—are required for these, so come join the fun!
