Readers of The Straits Times will once again be treated to a unique running event as we take participants in this year's ST Run to the Sports Hub.
The ST Run at the Hub on Sept 28 will be the first event where runners get to end their race under the iconic dome of the new National Stadium.
Race-goers will also be treated to a scenic morning route that will take them through the city and parts of East Coast Park.
Consumer electronics giant Panasonic is returning as the presenting sponsor after last year's ST Run in the Park.
Said Panasonic Singapore director Daniel Tan: "The ST Run is the ideal avenue that shares our devotion in making lives easier, more comfortable and more fun.
"Through our continuous efforts in creating eco and smart products, we aim to further establish ties with the community and promote greener, healthier and smarter living."
The run will feature three race categories: 5km (fun run) and 10km and 21km competitive runs. Registration fees range from $45 to $70.
But all OCBC Bank credit card holders will enjoy a 10 per cent discount.
OCBC card members will also enjoy an exclusive two-day pre-registration period, before the public sign-up starts on Thursday.
The run will be among the Sports Hub's first key events and promises to be a memorable experience for all.
Said Sports Hub chief executive Philippe Delavaud: "Whether it is along the waterfront or inside the National Stadium, runners will be able to enjoy the magnificent surroundings and views this sports, entertainment and lifestyle destination has to offer.
"Being an avid runner myself... I can guarantee this will be the perfect setting for the Sports Hub to welcome the community and create a fun and memorable experience for all who take part."
Participants of the run will each be entitled to an attractive goodie bag, worth more than $120, and will also stand to win prizes worth about $50,000.
Among the items are a New Balance race top and commemorative T-shirt, each worth $49.
Said New Balance marketing and product manager (Asean) Eugene Yeo: "As a leader in performance running, it is only natural that New Balance works with the biggest newspaper in Singapore to bring the best experiences to runners.
"New Balance had a great partnership with The Straits Times last year and is confident that this year's success will reach even greater heights."
The run is organised as part of the Straits Times Appreciates Readers programme to reach out to the community.

The Straits Times Run in the Park: Scenic run for readers along Punggol, Sengkang river:
Readers will get a chance to get close to nature at the inaugural The Straits Times' Run in the Park on Aug 25.
The route for the event covers the scenic waterway of the North Eastern Riverine Loop which spans the natural coastline of Punggol Beach, and the river banks of Punggol and Sengkang. In what is the biggest run ever along this corridor, participants will not only get to close to lush greenery but they can expect to catch a glimpse of colourful waterside birds.
Said editor of The Straits Times, Mr Warren Fernandez: "Many of our readers love to get outdoors and have fun while keeping fit. They read us for the latest news and trends on just how to do that, so we have decided to take them to this unique spot on the park connector network for a run with a difference."
"We will also be with our runners every step of the way as they prepare for the run, in our coverage in the run-up to the event, in our Home pages and the Mind Your Body pages."
The run, which is part of the Straits Times Appreciates Readers (STAR) series to actively engage its readers and the community, is being held in collaboration with the National Parks Board which is commemorating "50 Years of Greening Singapore".
There are three runs available for the participants: a 5km fun run, 10km competitive run and a 15km competitive run. The registration fee for competitive runners is $55, while the registration fee for the fun run is $46. Those who sign up as a group of four pay $50 and $42 each respectively for the competitive and fun run.
For their registration fee, participants will receive a ticket to the Resorts World Sentosa's S.E.A Aquarium worth $33, a New Balance t-shirt worth $47 and other attractive goodies.
Registration begins early June and can be done online, through readers' mobile devices and at upcoming roadshows for the event.
