Lazada Run 2025 made a high-energy return to Singapore this morning, drawing over 8,000 enthusiastic participants to Marina Barrage for a one-of-a-kind experience that blended fitness, lifestyle, and retail.
Organised by local event specialist Infinitus Productions, this year’s edition marked Lazada’s largest turnout in Singapore to date.
The event kicked off at Kallang with four race categories: 5KM Fun Run, 10KM, 21.1KM, and the debut of the Lazada x POP MART 5KM, a character-themed race that added a playful, creative twist to the usual running experience.
Runners were paced by seasoned guides from Running Department in the 10KM and 21.1KM competitive segments, helping participants aim for their personal bests.
My son and I initially wanted to go for the 10 or 21.1KM run, but had to settle for the 5KM as he needed to be above 16 and 18 respectively to be eligible to participate. Nonetheless, it was a fun experience and we enjoyed the run very much.
Prizes, Personal Bests, and VIP Guests
The top finishers in the competitive categories were rewarded with cash prizes of up to S$1,000. Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Trade and Industry, graced the event as Guest of Honour, presenting awards to the top 10KM finishers alongside Mr James Dong, CEO of Lazada Group.
Post-Race Festival at Marina Barrage
Beyond the race, the Post-Race Shopping Village at Marina Barrage buzzed with interactive brand booths from Huawei, Yeo’s, Brooks, Sunpride, and more. Runners and supporters enjoyed samples, giveaways, and exclusive event-day deals.
Among the highlights was the POP MART booth, decked out in colourful displays featuring fan-favourite characters like Twinkle Twinkle, offering merchandise, giveaways, and photo ops.
The POP MART Best Dressed Contest turned heads with runners donning playful, character-inspired outfits. Winners took home exclusive collectables.
Fun Challenges and Community Spirit
The event also featured interactive elements like the Voucher Snatch activity during the 5KM Fun Run and the crowd-favourite Cart Dash, a fast-paced supermarket sweep-style challenge that had participants racing to complete checklists for prizes.
“The new Lazada x POP MART 5KM brought a fun, creative edge to the run. This is what Lazada Run is about — making fitness inclusive, energising, and uniquely Lazada.” Shared Marcus Chew, Chief Marketing Officer of Lazada Group.
Lazada partnered with adidas as its Official Apparel Partner for 2025.
All runners received premium race tees, while pacers, VIPs and volunteers were outfitted with performance wear designed for both style and comfort.
Lazada Run Heads to Malaysia Next
Singapore marks one of the key stops in Lazada’s Southeast Asia-wide run series. The next leg will take place in Selangor, Malaysia on 12 October 2025, continuing the celebration of movement, community, and offline engagement across the region.
