Key Events

  1. SMU Athletics Mile Run

    The SMU Athletics Mile Run is an annual marquee event organised by us for the student body and running community. Last year, it was a 1.609km competitive race around Campus Green, held on 30th August. In the run, runners will race for group prizes based on speed! The purpose of this event is to foster a strong fitness culture within SMU, promote the sport of Athletics and increase publicity for the club.

  2. Open City Runs

    Open City Runs are a monthly Athletics event designed for the vibrant student running community. We open these inclusive and invigorating runs to all students regardless of club membership to encourage a healthy, active lifestyle while creating bonds and fostering a sense of community and camaraderie for the student running body.

  3. Community Service Project (CSP)

    SMU Athletics partners with Big Hearts Student Care Centre for “Project Big Hearts”, where we focus on providing a variety of recreational activities to give a space for children to resolve stress from schooling or other parts of their background.

  4. Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic Games (IVP) and Singapore University Games (SUniG)

    The Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic Games and Singapore University Games are a series of sports and games that takes place annually. It serves as a platform to foster goodwill and friendships amongst students of local tertiary institutions through active participation in sports and to improve the standards of sports among the participating tertiary institutions.

  5. Competitions and Marathons

    Additionally, our athletes take part in various competitions hosted by the Singapore Athletics Association (SAA), ranging from Pesta Sukan, SA All Comers Meets and Club Zoom. Also, our vibrant running community participate together in marathons, like Sundown Marathon, Standard Chartered Marathon and 2XU Marathon, with membership discounts.
