At 7.30am, Guest-of-Honour of the event, Ms Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Education, flagged off the Shape Run - a 5km and 10km challenge. She also joined the 5km run after the flag off. The route began at the Esplanade and took runners down Shenton Way before the 10km participants continued on into Marina South, and returned to finish the race at Connaught Drive.

Suzy Walsham, 34, won the 10km category for the second year in a row, with a time of 35 minutes: 18 seconds. She received a cash prize of $1,000 and over $20,000 worth of products. The 5km winner is Cheong Tsui Ying, 35, who clocked in 19 minutes: 43 seconds. She received $500 cash and $10,000 worth of products. These two champions will also be sponsored to run in Shape Thailand in November 08.

The winning team of the new Corporate category is SAFSA (Singapore Armed Forces Sports Association) which consists of Loh Yeoh Ling, Tan Chui Chin, Tan Lee Kiaw, Poh Li San and Lee Yem Choo. They walked away with $1,000 cash and $23,500 worth of products.

Participants ended their run at the Padang where they were treated to exciting stage performances, sports massages, drinks and refreshments, as well as opportunities to sample various merchandise. All runners received a fabulous Runner's Kit each. Certificates with personal timings will be mailed to them.
