Singapore will once again host the Nike+ Human Race 10k race this year.

Last year, the Nike+ Human Race 10k was the world’s largest event with nearly 780,000 runners taking part. This year’s multi-city event, termed as ‘the Day the World Runs’, will take place on Saturday, 24 October, 2009.

Prior to ‘the Day the World Runs’ on 24 October, a Guys Vs Girls challenge will be held via the Nike+ challenge to raise funds for Charities.

While MediaCorp Artiste Tay Ping Hui roots for the guys, Hype Records’ artiste Rui En will support the girls. The boys will run for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the girls will raise funds for the ST Pocket Money Fund.

Rui En, the ambassador for the Girls’ in the Challenge, enthused, “This challenge will allow the youths of Singapore to take part in a worthy cause while simultaneously facing a healthy challenge. Apart from running myself, I will be getting as many friends as possible to join the girls’ team so as to raise as much funds for the ST Pocket Money Fund! I want to do something for these kids!”

Tay Ping Hui, who will be captaining the Guys’ team, is equally gungho and quipped, “I’ll definitely be rounding up more people to support the guys’ team. The WWF needs our help and we guys are going to give our all!”
