8 Family-Friendly Fun Runs & Charity Walks Singapore 2026

Kids’ Dashes, Charity Walks, Half Marathons & More

Looking to join a fun run or charity walk in Singapore with the kids? Whether you’re looking to jog along scenic waterways with your kids dressed as Cookie Monster or join a race to support a meaningful cause, there’s something for everyone. We’ve curated a list of the best fun runs happening across the city this year. So grab your calendar, lace up your sneakers, and start planning your next adventure!

 

What family-friendly fun runs are on in Singapore in 2026?

Singapore’s 2026 calendar is packed with options like Cold Storage Giant Kids Run at Sentosa, Cinnamoroll Run and Sesame Street Run at Marina Barrage.

Are charity walks in Singapore suitable for young kids?

Yes. Events like VIVA Charity Walk (2km at Marina Barrage) and Walk for Our Children welcome children from age 4 with an adult. Many offer stroller-friendly routes, short distances and post-walk carnivals so little ones stay engaged while supporting good causes.

How do I register for popular kids runs in Singapore?

Most open early-bird slots months ahead on official sites or platforms like JomRun. Sign up early for Cold Storage Kids Run or POSB PAssion Run for Kids as categories fill fast. Keep race packs and collection dates in your calendar.

Is it safe to bring toddlers to fun runs?

Many family categories are non-competitive and stroller-friendly with short distances under 2km. Choose early-morning starts, pack water and snacks, and stick to shaded routes like Marina Barrage or Sentosa beaches for a comfortable experience.

When should I book family fun runs for 2026?

Aim for early-bird windows, often three to six months before race day. Popular events such as Cold Storage Giant Kids Run and themed Sanrio runs sell out quickly, so locking in tickets early secures better prices and preferred time slots.

    Income Eco Run 2026

    The Zero-Waste Run Where Every Kilometre You Clock Goes Towards A Green Cause

    This is one for families who care about more than just the finish line. The Income Eco Run returns on 19 April 2026 at the Bayfront Event Space, right alongside Marina Bay. Now in its fourth edition, this carbon-neutral event continues its “How Far Will You Go for Zero Waste?” mission. For every kilometre clocked, Income Insurance donates SG$1 to a zero-waste cause under the Singapore Green Plan 2030.

    What makes it special for families is the impressive range of distances. Adults can choose from 3km, 5km, 10km, 15km, and 21.1km categories. Kids aged 4 to 9 join the 700m Kids Dash, while children aged 10 to 12 can tackle the new 1.2km challenge. Pets are welcome too, with 700m and 1.2km pet categories. A brand-new Eco Experience initiative offers post-event learning journeys for children, including visits to e-waste recycling facilities and WWF-Singapore tours. Since 2023, the event has clocked over 150,000km and raised SG$160,000 for green causes. The event tee is optional and made from recycled water bottles, priced at just SG$10.
