As Singapore approaches her 60th year of independence, Li Foundation is proud to announce the launch of Relay SG60 by Relay Majulah — a national charity relay commemorating this significant milestone.
Building on the legacy of the original Relay Majulah held in 2019, this ground-up initiative brings together 60 teams to run 600km in 60 hours, raising funds for over 200 charities supported by Community Chest Singapore.
Co-organised by Li Foundation and Zephyr Running Club, Relay SG60 is more than a physical challenge. It is a powerful symbol of unity, resilience, and giving, rallying individuals from all walks of life to step forward together in celebration of Singapore’s journey.
Relay Majulah in 2019 was a Singaporean initiative that brought together people from all walks of life to participate in a relay run in commemoration of Singapore’s bicentennial and fostering a strong sense of community. The event aims to unite individuals across diverse backgrounds and personal life stories, all while supporting a common cause.
Relay Majulah was co-founded and co-chaired by Mr. Ong Tze Boon and Mr. Bennett Neo. The inaugural edition brought together 200 runners covering 2,000km over 200 hours across Singapore to raise funds for 67 charities supported by the President’s Challenge. The event made history by entering the Singapore Book of Records for the longest distance covered consecutively by 200 athletes in 200 hours.
Each participant carried more than just a baton — they were driven by purpose, fueled by passion, and united by a shared belief in the power of community.
Among the runners was Mr. Lionel Li, Founder of Li Foundation, who later championed the publication of the Relay Majulah coffee table book and supported a photography exhibition, documenting the heartfelt moments and extraordinary stories that emerged during the relay. His continued commitment to this cause helped preserve and amplify the spirit of Relay Majulah beyond the event itself.
Now, in 2025, Relay SG60 continues this legacy — marking a new chapter in the story of national solidarity and community-driven philanthropy.
Relay SG60 is more than a run. It is a celebration of the Singapore spirit — unity, resilience and the strength of community.
In this milestone year, business leaders, nonprofit organisations, and individuals from all walks of life will come together to raise SGD 300,000, or up to SGD 600,000 with dollar-for-dollar matching from the SG Gives Matching Grant, in support of Community Chest and more than 200 charities it supports.
Together, we rally behind those facing life’s toughest challenges, and reaffirm our shared belief that progress is possible when we move forward as one.
As Singapore celebrates 60 years of independence, we welcome you to be part of Relay SG60 by Relay Majulah as a runner, supporter, donor, or volunteer. Whether you join us on the ground or cheer on from the sidelines, your involvement is a meaningful tribute to our national journey and a commitment to shaping a more inclusive future.
The book showcases how the participants challenged their limits and conquered the World Marathon Challenge and North Pole Marathon to inspire people to challenge their own limits and pursue their dreams boldly.
The book tells the stories behind the event which saw the largest number of people in history running 1045km round Taiwan in 19 days.
