PUMA Night Run Singapore 2016 successfully proceeded and concluded on 27 August 2016 despite several haze warnings which almost led to an event cancellation.

Close to 6,000 runners took to the road at JTC Seletar Aerospace Park, conquering race distances of either 6km or 12km.

Not Another Traditional Cityscape Run

Participants of the PUMA Night Run Singapore 2016 were treated to a brand new race route encircling the JTC Seletar Aerospace Park. The unique location provided exposure to the sights and sounds of well-preserved black and white colonial houses, complemented by occasional take offs and landings of private jets.

This refreshing change offered a different ambience and experience than that of the traditional cityscape runs in previous editions. It was a one-of-a-kind run that allowed runners to explore the serene landscape of a less trodden part of Singapore.

Interactive activities such as body painting and photo booths were also available at the race village, injecting colour and fun to the race atmosphere.

Post-Race Festivities

Putting race fatigue aside, participants were hyped up by the post-race activities at the PUMA race village in JTC Seletar Aerospace Park.

Electronic quartet Disco Hue re-energized the crowd with electro-melodic dance music that got everyone grooving while ShiGGaShay and DJ Nash ripped the beats and lines, bringing the festivities to an all-time high.

Adding on to the excitement was a lucky draw that gave out attractive prizes including Jeep weekend drives, True Fitness membership, Klipsch headphone, PUMA hamper worth SG$500, and a pair of return tickets on Turkish Airlines to any destination in Europe.
