What is the Safari Zoo Run?
As a family, we have participated in the Standard Chartered Kids Race in 2011 and Cold Storage Kids Run in 2014. Although we are not professional athletes, our experiences of participating in such races have been very fulfilling. Besides encouraging active lifestyles, running is a wholesome way to bond and create happy memories with our families. Our next race will be the highly anticipated Safari Zoo Run 2015 which was conceived to commemorate Singapore Zoo’s famous matriarch and most adored personalities — Ah Meng the Sumatran orang utan who died of old age in February 2008.
When will it be held?
This year’s Safari Zoo Run will take place across two days on 7 and 8 February 2015.
Where is the race held?
Venue : Night Safari and Singapore Zoo
80 Mandai Lake Road
Singapore 729826
All runners will race past animal exhibits through meandering paths lined by greenery in Night Safari and Singapore Zoo.
7 February 2015 (Saturday)

Families can take part in the ‘Best Dressed Runner’ Contest and join in the Safari Zoo Run Carnival (bazaar, mascots’ meet and greet sessions, fun fair stations, educational stations, and exciting performances) after the race.
What does the race registration kit include?
Each participant will receive an exclusive dri-fit Safari Zoo Run singlet or T-shirt (worth $24.90) and other attractive goodies including discounted admission to Night Safari or a chance to stroll through River Safari in the evening. In addition, all runners will walk away with an exclusive animal-motif finisher medal and a one-day entry to Singapore Zoo on the day of the run.

It will be our first family run and alongside with animals will be perfect as the kids luuurrrve animals!
I hope to have a chance to run in the nature with my family!
It will be a good opportunity for us to expose our girls to participating in races – preclude to trigger their interest to follow their daddy’s journey to trialtlon races. It is a good timing as we have just supported daddy in his Ironman race at bussetlon in Dec 2014. 🙂
I would like to participate in The Safari Zoo Run 2015 to start the new year healthy. It will be a great bonding session for our family and get us started to exercise and keep fit regular.
Haven been exercising since a super long time. Take this event to bring my daughter around the zoo while doing some exercise!
Would like to have healthy family, bonding time and bring my children to exercise more. This will be our excuse for more running, jogging and walking. Plus we also get to visit the Zoo with free admission.

we love to run as a family..what more at the zoo!
I would love to win Because. I want to bring my 3 sons to the run. As boys, I feel it’s good for them to be exposed to sports at young age. But as my hubby cannot accompany us, I am reluctant to buy the tickets Because I’m not sure if I can handle three sons at one go. So if I win, it will be great!!

Answer: I would love to win this and be able to run with my family, because that would certainly be the first run as whole family will be able to run together, and it is a run that we could run with animals, and admire the green natures of Singapore! A run with the loved ones, are the motivation to the end of the race ! 🙂
I would love to win this for my family as we have never participate in such an interesting run together. Besides, it’s my son’s 7th birthday and it would be awesome to celebration this special day at his favourite Singapore Zoo!
We have been to the zoo umpteen times. But we had never experienced exercising alongside the animals. Would like to soak in this unique experience.
I joined in when I was pregnant, Never get to run. Now both my kids are grown up and never tried before. Hoping to win to let them go for a run.
I first joined with my husband before we were married. And since the zoo run features a kid’s edition, i hope to make it a family run this year!
Our boys love visiting the zoo and I am sure they will love to take part in a fun run in the zoo as well!

I want to bring my entire family to our 1st family run at the zoo! We tried to do it once at the Hello Kitty Run but the rain came and we were forced to abandon the run even before it started.
We hope that we can be successful in joining our 1st family run in the Safari Zoo Run! Crossing fingers to win it 😀
