Run For Hope Marks 33 Years of Turning Footsteps Into Funding for Cancer Research

For over three decades, a single morning at Marina Barrage has come to represent something bigger than a race. Run For Hope returns for its 33rd edition on 29 November 2026, continuing a legacy built jointly by Four Seasons Hotel Singapore and the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) — one that has quietly but consistently funnelled goodwill into cancer research and awareness across Singapore.

The event kicks off at 6:15am, with runners gathering at Marina Barrage before setting off on either the 5km or 10km non-competitive route. There's no clock to beat here — just a shared reason to show up.

This year's run carries an added layer of meaning. The official race t-shirt has been designed by Cindy Neo, an NCCS patient whose art practice led her to found Room To Imagine. Her design turns a piece of race-day merchandise into something closer to a personal statement — a reminder that behind the statistics on cancer research funding are real patients, some of whom are lacing up alongside everyone else on race morning.

There's also an incentive for those looking to go beyond just showing up. The top 10 registered participants who raise the most in contributions will win a pair of Singapore Airlines return Business Class tickets to Western Sydney — a nod to the fact that fundraising, not finishing times, is really what Run For Hope is built around.

Not everyone needs to run to take part. Those unable to join on the day can still contribute individually or as a team through the event's official leaderboard portal at runforhopesg.com/portal/leaderboard.
