Those who register by June 3 will stand to win one of 10 pairs of New Balance Fresh Foam Zante v4 shoes worth $169 each.
In its fourth iteration, the Fresh Foam Zante boasts a sleek silhouette and midsole cushioning for a supportive ride.
A draw will be held after June 3 to determine the 10 lucky winners.
All ST Run participants will also enjoy a 25 per cent discount off regular-priced New Balance items when they show their confirmation slip at any New Balance store.
Operations director Ng Hee Nguan, one of the winners in last year's giveaway, was pleasantly surprised by the win.
