Race Categories

Individual Categories
Everyone participates for different reasons and at different capacities. So if you’re for the biggest challenge, you’ll register for the Marathon. If you are a confident first-timer, you’ll probably opt for the Half Marathon. Or if you intend to go for a quick run and simply want to get in the thick of the action, then register for the 10km or Team Event. Not forgetting the kids, a new category – South East CDC Kids Dash – that the little ones can enroll in will be introduced this year!


South East CDC Kids Dash
The South East CDC Kids Dash, sponsored by South East Community Development Council, is a fun run for kids below 13 years old. It is an initiative by South East CDC to encourage more kids to take up running and promote family bonding.
