SINGAPORE - The seventh edition of The Straits Times Run kicked off early on Sunday morning, with runners participating in the longest distance the first to be flagged off from 5.30am at the start point on Nicoll Highway.
Just over 4,000 runners took part in the 18.45km category, created as a nod to the year the national daily was founded. Among them was reigning back-to-back SEA Games marathon champion Soh Rui Yong, who is gunning to become the category's first local winner. The Smart Local employee is also the ST Run's ambassador.
Also in the field of 18.45km participants was Paralympian Dr William Tan, who becomes the ST Run's first official wheelchair racer.
