The Mandai Wildlife Run, previously known as the Safari Zoo Run, returns on Sept 23 and 24 after a three-year break.
Join the 3.5km Ranger Buddies Family Dash with your little one. This category is for one child aged three to 12 and one adult, and costs $132 a pair.
Meanwhile, seniors from 60 years old can take part in the 5km Silvers Leisure Walk ($65). There is also the 5km Fun Run ($78) for participants from 13 years old.
The event was launched in 2009 as a tribute to Singapore Zoo’s Ah Meng, its world-famous orang utan star. It died in 2008.
Register by Friday to enjoy early-bird discounts of 15 per cent across the various categories.
This year’s run – the 13th edition – coincides with the zoo’s 50th anniversary and a host of Golden ZOObilee celebrations and wellness activities are in the pipeline.
For instance, imagine doing yoga with your kid in perfect view of the orang utans at the zoo or manatees at River Wonders. These parent-child sessions ($50 a pair for Friends of Wildlife members) take place on selected weekends from Aug 12.
