Lace Up for a Greener Tomorrow: The Great Green Run 2026 Returns to Marina Barrage!
Get your running shoes ready! One of the region’s most aspirational and eco-conscious sporting events, the Great Green Run 2026 presented by CIMB Singapore (GGR26), is officially returning for its third edition on 14 June 2026.
This isn’t just another race on the calendar; it’s a movement. Taking place at the iconic Marina Barrage, GGR26 is evolving into a massive lifestyle and sustainability festival designed to blend fitness with environmental stewardship.
More Than Just a Race: A Sustainability Festival
Jointly organized by Modellscape and Tri-FACTOR (part of Orange Room), this year’s event aims to reach beyond the finish line. Elvin Ting, Founder of Tri-FACTOR, emphasizes that the goal is to inspire the younger generation to take an active role in climate action through lifestyle experiences and community activations.
Adding to the festival atmosphere, participants can explore the Green Bazaar, a vibrant eco-conscious marketplace featuring over 50 stalls. From pre-loved clothing and handcrafted products to sustainable F&B vendors, it’s a one-stop shop for those looking to embrace a greener lifestyle.
Driving Corporate Change: The SMF Partnership
In a major move for 2026, the Singapore Manufacturing Federation (SMF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with GGR26 to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) kickstart their sustainability journeys.
Under this new initiative, up to 50 SMEs can receive complimentary carbon footprint reports. This “Chief Sustainability Officer-as-a-Service” (CSOaaS) programme helps businesses measure their environmental impact, which is a critical step for meeting growing regulatory and supply chain expectations.
