Singapore chosen as first city outside London to host Bloomberg Square Mile Relay

Teams of 10 runners will race a one-mile course.

Singapore will mark the first leg of the international expansion of Square Mile Relay, an event that was first staged in 2007 in London, and has since been attracting more than 100 teams every year.

It will make its local debut in Singapore on Thursday, 24 October 2013 with teams of 10 runners racing an unconventional one-mile course through the Central Business District.

The winning team will be awarded a S$10,000 cheque to be awarded to charity. 

"The choice of Singapore as the next stop for the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay was a logical one and underscores our commitment to the region. It's also a way for us to show our gratitude and give back to the community," said Nitin Jaiswal, Bloomberg's Head of Sales for ASEAN and India.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
