• Challenges of the terrain/scenic views such as:
  • Loyang Way to Upper Changi Road North - 30 degrees incline run
  • Stretch from Abingdon Road to Cosford Road - undulating terrain
  • Changi North Rise - 20 degrees incline for about 200m

  • SAF Selarang Camp
  • Johore Battery
  • T2 Runway scene

• The undulating and strenuous terrain of the route is representative of an inmate's reintegration journey back to society. It is an ardous task that takes a lot of determination and resolve from the individual. The community too plays an important role! Aptly summarized by the theme "Beyond The Run", this run is all about the community coming forward to show their support for inmates, ex-offenders and their families.

The Carnival at the End-Point will start from 8:30am onwards.
