Every bit counts! We continue to keep our running bibs 65% smaller than standard bibs to cut down on the amount of materials used to produce them. Bibs from the kids dash will be made from plantable seed paper for kids to grow their own vegetables.
Wherever you are in your journey towards reducing your waste and carbon footprint, we want Income Eco Run to be that safe space for you to be encouraged and meet other like-minded individuals.
We can all start small. Changes, no matter how small, can make a big difference in the long run! (pun intended)
With 60,000KM clocked collectively in 2024, Income Insurance donated $60K to the Singapore Environment Council (SEC). The funds raised were used to support 'Project Zero-waste for Schools', in partnership with the SEC. Students from Primary and Secondary schools get the opportunity to gain experiential learning on circular economy and conceptualise school-based eco-initiatives to raise awareness and encourage action amongst peers. This initiative also includes a mentorship programme where mentors provide guidance to students on campaign conceptualisation, campaign design and execution of the school-based eco initiatives.

Run t-shirts may or may not be essential to some of us, thus we’re making it optional! We’d love to see you in our past Income Eco Run t-shirts or simply in any shade of orange!
We remain digital to reduce the use of materials to produce the certificate of participation. Participants will receive an E-Certificate in recognition of their participation in Income Eco Run 2025. Feel free to share your achievement on social media and tag us at #IncomeEcoRun.
