Ultimate Female Charity Run in Africa
2020-10-27 - 2020-11-01 | Sabora Tented Camp, Grumeti Reserves Grumeti Game Reserve, 31623, Tanzania, Tanzania, United Republic of
As we celebrate International Women’s Day this coming Sunday, 8th March 2020, we will be bringing you a series of articles and interviews that are in line with this year’s theme “Each for Equal”. Join us as we celebrate womanhood and challenge gender stereotypes, broaden perceptions and celebrate individual female achievements!
Since its inception in 2017, the Serengeti Girls Run has become a highlight on the events calendar. Singita has just released the dates for the third annual event, which is held in partnership with the Grumeti Fund in Singita Grumeti, a private 350,00-acre concession in Tanzania.
Entries are now open for this iconic three-day, 63km run through the vast plains of the Serengeti, taking place from 27th October to 1st November 2020. The entire experience spans five days and this all-women run will support the empowerment of girls in adjacent rural areas.
The multi-stage event is suitable for runners of all levels who will encounter an abundance of wildlife and breathtaking scenery as they cover 21 km each day. The women will be accompanied by scouts from the Grumeti Fund Anti-Poaching Unit, and a support team in a shadow vehicle to take care of their safety and comfort throughout the entire event.
On completion of the run, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about the Grumeti Fund’s community and conservation programs, including a 5km fun run and career fair for local high school girls. They’ll also visit the Anti-Poaching Canine Unit and take a tour of the new center for Research and Innovation in the Serengeti Ecosystem (RISE).
This exclusive experience, which is part of Singita’s collection of ‘Safaris with a Purpose’, is aimed at raising funds for empowerment programs for girls. Donations to the Grumeti Fund assist in running empowerment events for 5,000 high school girls, including the provision of sanitary pads for one year; and scholarships for 80 local secondary school learners for vocational studies and university.
Singita Sabora Tented Camp, situated on the plains of the Serengeti, is the luxurious base for five nights. Participants will return to the utmost comfort to recuperate after each day’s run, experiencing a quintessential tented safari under canvas. Following a redesign, Sabora’s new look will be unveiled in June 2020. Each of the nine tented suites will feature a private meditation deck with views of the surrounding grasslands, a beautifully curated in-room pantry and an outdoor deck with daybeds. With tents set close to the ground, guests are continuously connected with the sights and sounds of the bush.
Early evening game drives provide a front-row seat to incredible game-viewing in this exclusive protected reserve in the western corridor of the Serengeti, and guests have the opportunity to book restorative massages in the treatment room or in the comfort of their suite.
This is an inimitable opportunity to experience a Serengeti safari while contributing to the empowerment of girls in Africa. The Serengeti Girls Run 2020 takes place from 27 October to November 1. The experience costs S$6,240 per person (single) or S$4,855 per person (sharing) for the all-inclusive 5-night package (full board), including return flights on Grumeti Air from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Singita Grumeti; and an additional tax-deductible donation to the Grumeti Fund of S$21,500 per person (single) or S$11,790 per person (sharing), used to fund empowerment projects for girls and women.
Space is limited and so to book a place, please email Katherine Cunliffe at info@grumetifund.org.

Run for Hope 2020
2020-11-04 - 2020-12-31 | Virtual
Since its inception in 1993, the annual Run for Hope aims to raise much-needed awareness, funds, and support for cancer research, with the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) as the beneficiary.
More than 10,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year, with the disease accounting for 1 in 4 deaths in Singapore. Hence, it is no longer rare to find someone we know who is or was affected by cancer. Research projects spearheaded by National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) are crucial in bringing hope to all who live with the shadow of cancer in their lives. Through continuous support, Run for Hope can make a difference in the lives of those affected.
In light of existing government regulations and current sentiments towards large-scale events, the Run for Hope organising committee has decided to convert Run for Hope 2020 into a virtual run.
The virtual run will take place ​from 4 November to 31 December 2020.
This is to ensure that we provide the safest possible experience for our participants, while still
supporting cancer patients and research in Singapore.
The 3.5km and 10km race categories will remain the same, but a new 25km category has been added for runners who want to run a longer distance. Runners can choose to complete their chosen category in one go, or run the distance over a few runs within the period of 4 November to 31 December 2020.
If you are already a registered participant, no additional action is required on your part as your run slot will be automatically converted to the new virtual run. Please visit this ​link for a step-by-step guide on how to submit your run results.
Registrations through our Run For Hope 2020 website will remain open until ​2359 Hours on ​31 December 2020 ​for all who want to support this worthy cause. Participants’ race packs will be couriered to their mailing addresses upon submission of run results.
Please keep a lookout on our website ​www.runforhope.sg and our ​Facebook page for further updates. You may also support our cancer cause by making a donation towards cancer research through ​https://www.giving.sg/campaigns/rfh2020
Dates: 4 Nov to 31 Dec 2020

ASICS World Ekiden Challenge
2020-11-11 - 2020-11-22
The inaugural ASICS World Ekiden 2020 is happening again! This ultimate running challenge will see teams of up to six people from across the globe come together to complete a combined marathon. Inspired by a century of Japanese running culture, the race will be split into six legs of varying distances, making it perfect for runners of all abilities and experience.
What’s best is that you don’t have to be together physically to be running together.
Bringing people together virtually

The ASICS World Ekiden 2020 will combine the best of real-world and virtual racing thanks to a new race platform using both Race Roster™ and the ASICS Runkeeper™ app.
You can track your team progress in real-time on your Apple Watch, Garmin or Fitbit device. See your ranks on live online leaderboards and enjoy a customised in-race audio experience. You will experience the excitement, connection and motivation of team competition no matter how far apart you may be.
You will even have to pass your very own digital tasuki – the narrow band of fabric used in traditional Japanese Ekidens – to each other at the end of every leg.
We know people are missing the motivation and connection they get from team sport, so we are really excited to bring people together from all over the world to train and compete together in pursuit of a shared goal.

In the true spirit of the Ekiden, anybody can take part, and nobody will be running alone
Yasuhito Hirota, President & Chief Operating Officer, ASICS
How to sign up

The ASICS World Ekiden 2020 is a virtual relay marathon split into six legs, including three legs of 5km, two of 10km and one of a 7.2km. Once all the legs have been completed, the team would have finished a full 42.2km marathon.
Teams of up to six people can compete in the ASICS World Ekiden 2020, with a total of six legs to be completed by the team as a whole.
Simply sign up for free using Runkeeper or the ASICS hub here. Teams must complete their relay race between 11th and 22nd November 2020.
What else you can expect
Trusted voices within their community, ASICS has founded two regional teams to be part of ASICS World Ekiden 2020.
The first team include ASICS’ regional celebrities and influencers including Singapore actor Zong Zijie, radio host Aishah Sinclair from Malaysia, Indonesia actress Sahila Hisyam, Thai actors Toey Pongsakorn and Neng Sarun Naraprasertkul, Miss Universe Phillippines Gazini Ganados.
Athletes such as Singapore marathoner Serena Teoh, Malaysia marathoner Michelle Chua, Indonesia racewalker Hendro Yap, Thai sprinter Jirapong Meenapra, National Olympian Mary Joy Tabal from the Philippines, and Vietnamese long-distance runner Nguyen Van Lai will form the second team.

Sugar and Spice Festival November 2020
2020-11-17 - 2020-11-24 | Virtual
The Sugar and Spice Festival is a festival that aims to change the belief that people raised in traditional societies are unable to express themselves when it comes to sex. Our conservative upbringing has led to sex has becoming a taboo topic not to be spoken of at home. As a result, many of us become shameful of talking about our preferences and attitudes.
The Sugar and Spice Festival aims to impart positive messages and learning around sex, sexuality and sexual wellness. We want to empower participants to listen, learn and find wellness.
Throughout this festival we will work to change the mindset of participants, freeing them from any cultural norms that have resulted in low sexual self-esteem and a fear of enjoying the pleasures of sex. We aim to fill the gaps on the lack of sexual education and positive role models when it comes to sexuality.
The online nature of our Festival let participants from all over the world connect with others who may have a similar upbringing. To ensure that the sessions are dynamic and interactive, speakers and facilitators are all experts in their field. The Festival programme includes a range of talks, workshops, guided meditations, dances, breathwork and yoga.

Join us this November now!

Singapore Vegan Festival 2020
2020-11-21 - 2020-11-22 | Virtual
Singapore Vegan Festival by EatRoamLive is back in a never seen before avatar – a fully immersive virtual festival where you can shop, eat, learn and have fun, all from the comfort of your home. After the success of the inaugural Singapore Vegan Festival in 2019 which saw over 2000 visitors, a second edition was warranted. In sync with the new normal, this will be a one-of-a-kind festival which will recreate the ultimate vegan experience under a virtual roof. On 21st and 22nd November, the festival will bring together the best of vegan delights in Singapore, across categories, cuisines, and cultures.
While the pandemic won’t allow people to congregate any time soon, it has also nudged the world to find innovative ways to bring communities together. In the same vein, the Singapore Vegan Festival has been gamified in such a way that guests can navigate the convention like they’re actually there. An array of virtual stalls of vegan products, vegan food and beverages will be on offer – think gourmet vegan cheese, gluten and dairy-free desserts, healthy snacks, plant-based meats, cruelty-free skincare, fresh and organic produce and so much more!
Some of the food offerings from last year’s festival

At its core, Singapore Vegan Festival is aimed at spreading awareness about plant-based food and proving that vegan doesn’t have to be boring. In the west, sales of vegan products are increasing at more than 200% each year and a similar boom can be seen in Singapore as well. There is an abundance of fabulous vegan options in Singapore that the Singapore Vegan Festival intends to showcase. Geared towards encouraging vegans to explore fresh options and offer interesting alternatives for those who are curious about a vegan lifestyle, the festival embraces people across their vegan journey.
With an increasing focus on health and wellbeing and an increasing drive to save the planet from the climate crisis, more and more people are being driven to eat less meat. There is finally a global consensus that plants are a healthier and more sustainable way to feed the masses. The festival aims to draw attention to this through amazing vegan food, guest speakers, cooking demonstrations, panel discussions, and an array of stalls of vegan products and services.
The ethical, environmental and health benefits of veganism deserve a platform and the festival is a leap towards that. The event will be hosted on Delegate PLAY, a 3D, immersive virtual environment that emulates an actual convention centre, complete with a virtual lobby, exhibition halls and exhibitor booths. Attendees will be able to visit virtual booths and interact with vendors through multiple touch points that include a resource hub where attendees are able to download product brochures and essential documents, an online availability calendar for booking consultation slots, a virtual meeting room to conduct meetings, a live chat function as well as e-commerce integrations to instantly purchase service offerings from vendors.
Panel discussion at last year’s festival

While the festival is a great opportunity for small businesses to promote a vegan lifestyle through their products, it doesn’t leave behind the amazing vegan-friendly restaurants in Singapore. Restaurants like The Peranakan, Shahi Maharani, Jamie’s Italian, Sufood and The Living Café will run exclusive vegan dine-in specials during the week of the festival. This will allow guests the flexibility to explore and enjoy the special vegan offerings at different restaurants across the city over a period of 10 days.
A highlight will be the cooking demo by renowned vegan chef Damian Piedrahita who has worked across kitchens in Spain & Northern Italy and is currently working at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore. Joining us from Italy will be Vegan Luxury Specialist Camilla Parmigiani to discuss Plant-Based Guest Experiences in high-end hospitality, rounding up the current situation and perspectives for the future.
The Singapore Vegan Festival is a flagship event of EatRoamLive, a trailblazing media and events platform catering to those following or seeking to follow a plant-based lifestyle, aiming to make vegan and vegetarian food more accessible and more affordable. With ample food reviews, restaurant suggestions and vegan recipes, along with Vegan Dining Events and Vegan Farmer’s Markets, ERL is leaving no stone unturned in working to create an event that will be an experience to remember for vegans, the intrigued and just about everybody else.

Sexy is Okay! Festival
2020-11-28 - 2020-11-29 | Virtual
A 2-day virtual fest that aims to empower, redefine sexiness, challenge stigmas and make “sexy” attainable for everyone in a safe space.

About this Event

25th November is the International Day of Elimination of Violence against Women
The “Why” behind this campaign:
Women are often objectified as sexual beings, sometimes resulting in them recieving mistreatment and violence. As a way to protect themselves, women and men hide their sexy side as a means to protect themselves, further affirming the societal belief that sexiness is inviting assault.
We present our “Sexy is Okay” campaign in an effort to build awareness on what it means to be sexy. To challenge the stigma and judgement attached to sexiness because sexiness and violence have NO correlation.
We hope more people will feel positive about expressing their sexiness – in whatever form it takes for them, and live their lives with more confidence, security and awareness.
Jump into this 2-day online festival with us, as we probe the tricky topic on sexiness in a safe environment, explore the challenges in expressing our sexual sides and hear inspiring stories from individuals who have walked the path.
Find out more about our event here!

Lovers’ Striptease is a new mindset and movement-based lecture and dance workshop designed to teach students how to striptease for their lover. Now is your chance to enhance your bedroom experiences during these dark times.
This is a workshop and not just a dance class, so participants will learn not only how to do basic striptease moves, but also how to think and set up a striptease scene to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Every person’s expectations of a sensual dance are different, so participants will also be able to take away personal instruction and tips that are tailor-fit for their needs.
Learn the secret to successful and meaningful intimate dancing, build confidence, and burst into the flames of sexual passion in the comfort and privacy of your own bedroom.
Lovers’ Striptease is a feminine, beginner-friendly class for mature and discerning adults (18 years old and above only). All sizes, shapes, colours, orientations, and experience levels are welcome, but please note that the dancing style is feminine and the point of view is from a female perspective.
This workshop is open to people with and without actual lovers, so you can come to class on your own or with a partner. Remember, your first and best lover must be yourself!

Testimonials

Pompoir workshop with Dr Martha Lee (meeting you in general actually, haha) is one of the highlights of my 2020. At age 32, I have not explored that much about the pelvic floor area – its potential and the wonders it can do. The course is nicely paced in a friendly and nurturing environment. It was nice to learn and explore it in a group of ladies with varying intentions and experiences – exchanging notes, feedback and tips. The workshop did not just get me acquainted with the muscles down there but also helped me to get to know more of myself overall.”
– K 33, Philippines

Going into the workshop, I already know what Kegels was. I thought it was just squeezing the pelvic muscles and that was it. Boy, was I wrong! Getting into it, I didn’t know that there is more to keels than just that. Being in the workshops that Martha held made me realise that there are different aspects of keels that I didn’t know. We were taught how to be aware of our body more, squeezing the muscles not just for the sake of squeezing but to acknowledge the different parts that we are engaging. Who knew that there are so many muscles involved?! This made me aware of my body and how I can activate different parts of me I was never conscious about.
Martha provided an extensive view of what Kegels is, how it benefits me and the different exercises I can incorporate in my daily life (that I can do for a few minutes a day). How easy is that? She made sure everyone is comfortable all throughout. Thank you Martha, for teaching such a wonderful workshop! I enjoyed it immensely. Now, time to practice what I’ve learned! :)”

Leave no time for pneumonia!
Did you know that pneumonia is the second leading cause of death[1]and third leading cause of hospitalisation?[2] Seniors 65 and above are at higher risk of getting pneumococcal pneumonia.[3] Even if one is healthy, age is one of the risk factors as our immune system naturally weakens.[4] Fret not! Seniors can empower themselves by protecting themselves against the disease with vaccination!3
Make time to join artiste Marcus Chin and Dr Leong Hoe Nam, Infectious Disease Specialist at Rophi Clinic, as they discuss about pneumococcal vaccination and Marcus’ vaccination journey in a one-hour Facebook Live session on 25 March 2021 (Thursday), 8pm.
