Families gathered in full force at The Great Family Play Day 2025, a vibrant event that combined fitness, fun and bonding activities for all ages. Organised as part of the lead-up to the Great Eastern Women’s Run 2025, the event was more than just a day out. It served as a reminder of the importance of healthy living, strong family ties and community spirit.
A Day for Families to Bond
The event was designed with one goal in mind: to get families moving together. Parents, children and grandparents joined in games and challenges that encouraged teamwork and laughter. Obstacle courses tested agility and cooperation, while outdoor play areas gave younger kids the freedom to explore and burn off energy. Parents also had the chance to try out group exercise sessions, showing that fitness can be both fun and inclusive.
More than just a physical activity, the Play Day created opportunities for bonding. Whether it was cheering on a child in a mini-race, teaming up in a relay, or simply enjoying a picnic together, families left with memories that stretched beyond the event grounds.
Fitness Meets Fun
At the heart of the day were fitness challenges tailored for every age group. Professional trainers led workout sessions ranging from high-energy aerobics to calming stretches, giving adults a chance to discover routines that could be incorporated into everyday life. Children enjoyed kid-friendly fun runs and sports-themed games that helped them build coordination and confidence.
For many, the highlight was trying new activities together as a family. From dance-based workouts that got everyone grooving to team-based challenges that encouraged communication, the day proved that exercise does not have to feel like a chore. Instead, it can be a joyful way to connect.
Giving Back to the Community
Beyond the fun and fitness, the event carried a meaningful purpose. Families were encouraged to support the Great Eastern Women’s Run Reach for Great Fundraising Challenge 2025, which raises funds for local charities that empower women and children in need. Through Giving.sg, participants could make contributions that added depth and impact to their day of bonding.
By linking fitness with philanthropy, the event reminded everyone that healthy living also means caring for the wider community.
Looking Ahead to Race Day
The Great Family Play Day was more than just a warm-up — it was a celebration of togetherness and an energising preview of what is to come at the Great Eastern Women’s Run 2025. As one of Singapore’s most iconic running events, the Run champions women’s health and inspires participants of all ages to embrace active lifestyles.
The Great Eastern Women’s Run 2025 may have sold out all five race categories, but there is still a way everyone, ladies and gentlemen inclusive, can get in on the action. Contribute to its fundraiser, which closes at 2359 hours on 15 October 2025. Donations enjoy a 2.5 times tax deduction and will go to charity partners Daughters Of Tomorrow (DOT) and Singapore Cancer Society (SCS).
