Featuring three race categories this year – from the inaugural 540m Young Jedi Dash to the competitive 10km and non-competitive 5.4km, there is something for participants of all ages or fitness level.

Participants will be able to choose one of two routes - to join the Rebellion on the Light side, or be called to the Dark side. 

Prizes up for grabs in the competitive segments include a special trophy sponsored by event partner Royal Selangor, Garmin Forerunner watch and up to S$1,000 in cash for each of the top three finishers for men and women in the 10km category.
