Singapore, 22 April 2025 - The 2XU Compression Run 2025 has revealed the official race route of this year’s 2XU Run at 7.25pm, amidst initial growing concerns from participants about a possible event cancellation due to the lack of information about the event’s race route.
The event, set to commence at 4:15 AM from the F1 Pit Building, has been fully sold out, indicating strong interest and participation.
There were concerns by many in the running community surrounding the timing of the event, after it was revealed that it would fall within the campaign period for Singapore's general elections.
The 14th Parliament was dissolved on 15 April 2025, with Nomination Day on 23 April and Polling Day scheduled for 3 May.
This overlap has led to speculation about potential disruptions or cancellations, reminiscent of OCBC Cycle 2025, which was converted to a virtual event due to the elections, an event in which organisers made the decision to refund participants their registration fees.
Participants had drawn parallels between the two events, fearing that the 2XU Compression Run might face a similar fate.
The popular 2XU Compression Run's Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC) took place two weekends ago at Suntec City, from 12 to 13 April.
Thousands of participants collected their race bibs, shirts, and goodie bags—an event that typically signals final preparations for a major road race.
The 2025 2XU Compression Run is slated to proceed as originally planned this Sunday, 27 April 2025 at F1 Pit Building, and is the first half-marathon to take place in the race calendar year in Singapore.
