SINGAPORE - The Straits Times Run will be a quieter, more personal affair this year as it takes on a virtual run format for the first time ever owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
"To make the drawing more fun, I added a runner making a gesture that shows both playfulness and disgust at the virus." ST sports editor Lee Yulin, who is also organising chairman of The Straits Times Virtual Run , said:"Giving our finishers an iconic T-shirt to mark their participation in the virtual run is the least we can do to reward them for their support.
To commemorate the newspaper's 175th anniversary, there will be two distances offered for the STVR - 17.5km and 175km.
