NTUC Income RUN 350, organised by Young NTUC, is a Singapore eco-run in support of the global 350 movement. The movement aims to raise awareness of the need to lower the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million (ppm), which is believed by scientists to be the level required for a liveable planet. Today, the level of CO2 is over 400 parts per million. 

RUN 350 was first held in 2010 at Pulau Ubin and saw 1,000 runners coming forward to run for the 350 movement. By 2015, RUN 350 grew more than 10 times to almost 12,000 runners participating.

The race will be held on 10 April 2016, at the F1 Pit Building, with an expected crowd of 13,000. The event includes a 21.1km half-marathon, 10km competitive race and 800m Kids Dash. In 2016, a new non-competitive category, Fun On Wheels, will be introduced.

Fun on Wheels aims to showcase the ease and availability of environmentally friendly transport options. Participants of this category will cycle, in-line skate or kick scoot through 4km of flat terrain. All finishers will walk away with a finisher’s medal at the finish line.
