The 2XU Compression Run is an urban running event that 2XU has held annually in Singapore.

In 2027, the event offers three distances: 21.1km, 10km and 5km.

The previous event in 2026 started on the track beside the Singapore F1 Pit Building, near the Singapore Flyer, Marina Square, Suntec City and Millenia Walk.

Participants in the 21.1km race choose a start pen from A to E according to their expected finish time.

Pen A is the fastest group in half marathon, and proof of a half marathon time of 2 hours or less achieved since January 1, 2024 was required.

Pens A and B each had a capacity of 2,500 participants, and the award results were decided by gun time.

The 5km and 10km races also include competitive categories, giving the event a clear focus on 2XU compression sportswear and improving performance.

More details

Paid shuttle buses connect selected MRT stations to the F1 Pit Building on event morning.
