Several other outdoor events have already been called off or rescheduled because of the haze.<\/p>\n
The Great Eastern Women’s Run, originally scheduled for Nov 1, has been cancelled, with organisers citing concerns over participants’ health and safety amid the unpredictable haze situation.<\/p>\n
The annual event, which attracts thousands of women runners, will not take place this year.<\/p>\n
The ISCA Run 2026, which was scheduled for Saturday at Gardens by the Bay, has also been cancelled.<\/p>\n
The organiser, the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, announced the decision on Thursday, citing the unpredictable haze conditions and concerns for the safety of nearly 3,000 participants and other attendees.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, The Purple Parade, which was scheduled for Oct 24, has been postponed to the first half of 2027.<\/p>\n
The annual event celebrates the abilities and contributions of persons with disabilities and promotes inclusion in Singapore.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, the haze has meant postponing the gathering to next year. It is disappointing, but the health and well-being of our people must come first,” Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
