The PUB Green Run, formerly known as the Green Corridor Run is back and we are on a mission to rewild the Rail Corridor. For every person who participates in the PUB Green Run, the organisers will be donating $10 to the Nature Society's rewilding project on the Rail Corridor. Image Credit Coconuts

With your contributions, the Nature Society (Singapore) aims to plant thousands of trees along the northern stretch of the Rail Corridor, enhancing the natural habitat and cooling the area for recreational users. These trees will contribute towards Singapore’s 'One Million Trees by 2030' movement.

The Green Corridor Run (2013) was the first ever race to be held along the Rail Corridor after the KTM rail line was removed.

The Green Corridor Run sold out every year from 2013-2016 and succeeded in raising awareness for this incredible stretch of land. It’s popularity demonstrated just how passionate Singaporeans are about the Rail Corridor.

The Green Corridor Run made such an impact that Prime Minister Lee referred to it in his 2016 National Day Rally speech and it was mentioned by Minister Tan Chuan Jin in parliament.

The southern section of the Rail Corridor was closed between 2016 – 2021 for the installation of the Murnane Pipeline, re-opening earlier this year.

With PUB Green Run​​​​​​​ contributions, the Nature Society (Singapore) is aiming to rewild the northern stretch of the Rail Corridor. This community-led project will contribute towards Singapore's 'One Million Trees by 2030' movement.

By involving stakeholders and the local community, the project includes establishing a supply of thousands of saplings and planting them using ecological methods.

This project will assist in providing a continuous green canopy along the Rail Corridor, acting as a conduit for plants and wildlife and assist in bringing back rare species. It will also enable carbon sequestration/storage and help to cool down the area for runners.

Join the race and you'll receive a premium PUB Green Run running cap and a finisher medal (if you opt in).

Designed with breathable panels, a soft brim and natural tones, this lightweight and versatile cap is super comfortable on a trail run or a coffee run.
