A shout out to all running enthusiasts and running groups!

” Hello everyone! I’ve been running various races for the past few years. However, ever since I joined ACRES, I’ve channeled this passion to raise funds and awareness for the animals. I head the Macaque Team and as i go on with my job, I see a huge need to preserve and protect our own native wildlife in Singapore. You’ve read about them in the news and seen them (especially if you do your runs in nature reserves!). The struggle for human-wildlife coexistence is a continuous race.

Last year, I ran the 42 km Standard Chartered Marathon to raise funds and awareness for the highly misunderstood monkeys in Singapore. 2 months ago, I ran throughout the night at the 42 km Sundown Marathon to raise awareness about ACRES work for the animals. Next year, I will be running the 100 km ultra marathon. The Singapore running community is growing and there is no better way to use this as a platform to help the animals in need.

Join me as we come out with ideas, raise funds and awareness for the animals at various upcoming races together! We can run as a group or as individuals! And did I mention we are keeping fit at the same time too? Start tagging your friends, families, colleagues and share this post!

Interested runners do contact me at sabrina@acres.org.sg and i will fill you in with more details! ”
