Nordic Community in Singapore
The Nordic Embassies of Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in Singapore jointly organise the Nordic Green Run 2022: Charity Run for Marine Environment. From 30 May through 5 June, run or walk as far as you can or want. Every kilometre covered results in 1 SGD to the charity Seven Clean Seas, so you are running for a good cause. If that is not enough motivation, the Nordic Green Run is also a friendly competition between the Nordic countries! Note: The running or walking must take place in Singapore.
Get started by joining one of the Nordic teams below:

Find your club with the following links:
Track your walk or run with the app (remember to press “finish” when you are done with your activity). Note: Make sure to have your privacy settings set to “everybody can see” and have the activity as either a walk, a hike or a run. If not, your valuable kilometres will not be counted in the app. Only the top 100 are visible on the leaderboard. You can see your activity on “recent activity”.
