REAL® Run

An annual event, REAL® Run sets out to promote regular exercise and a active lifestyle among our Home Team Guardians, and their families. As HomeTeamNS commemorates Singapore’s Bicentennial in this 24th edition of REAL® Run, we want to give recognition to the Lifesavers (SCDF) and Protectors (SPF) who have worked hand-in-hand as Guardians of Singapore, to ensure that we continue to enjoy safety and security.

HomeTeamNS will launch a three-part series run in this year’s REAL® Run. We will have a new bicentennial 18.19km Virtual Lifesavers Run, a 5km Protectors Run, culminating in REAL® Run in October.

As part of our #REALPledge movement, we thank you for supporting our Home Team NSmen by contributing a pledge for every 1km you complete in REAL® Run.
