After a busy month of racing in March, the racing scene in Singapore is slowing down a little to catch its breath in April. Nonetheless, it promises to be a month where there’s something for everyone. Six different types of events at six different locations, runners have every reason to continue staying in racing shape.

The month begins with the NTUC Income Run 350 on April 5, which was voted by readers of JustRunLah! as best 21K run in 2014. Little wonder registration is completely booked out for this promising event. Offering the half marathon, 10K and 800m kids’ dash distances, the race will commence at F1 Pit Building. Runners can look forward to some amazing entitlements in their goodie bags.
