The inaugural Adult Playground will fuse fitness, food and
music, all in the name of fun. The outdoor festival will feature
a line-up of local musicians and 22 sporting activities on
both land and water, from human foosball and dodge-ball to
floating lily pads, NERF Super Soakers, Slip-and-Slides and
a water-based hamster wheel; and playtime’s not complete
without cocktails from the beach bar, sorbet popsicles and
health-conscious grub from gourmet food trucks.

BIKE FOR A
BETTER FUTURE
Looking for a dose of culture and fitness
that’s also for a good cause? Then
you’ll love the ninth annual Angkor Wat
Bike4Kids race, a bike ride that benefits
four Cambodian charities working to protect
children and prevent human trafficking. With
a choice of 17, 30 and 100K race routes, the
event is open to all ages and fitness levels,
and takes participants around the entire
Angkor Wat complex. 6 December. Register

GET GLOWING
Back for its second year, the Illumi
Run is a non-competitive 5K run
where participants – equipped with
LED wrist-bands and glow-in-the-
dark shutter shades, among other
glowing paraphernalia – make their
way through themed music zones
while being splashed with special
“glow water” for a night of neon fun.
Complete with dancers and DJs, and
a full-blown bash at the finish line,
this party on the run will take place
on two separate nights – 27 and
29 November – flagging off at 8pm
each evening at the F1 Race Village.

Coming Up
If you’re looking for a serious challenge, this one’s for you. Based on
the physical tests that win soldiers entry into elite military units, the
Commando Challenge will have you crawling through mud, coping
with water obstacles and more. Though Special Forces training
isn’t necessary, you are expected to confront your fears and push
yourself to the limit. Choose from Saturday (15 November) night’s
Commando Course, which involves 12 military obstacles on a 5K
off-road course, and the super-demanding Extreme Commando,
which includes 28 military obstacles on a 5K, off-road course – both
end with a party at the finish line. Meanwhile, the Teen Commando
on Sunday 16 November features 8 military obstacles along a 2.5K
off-road course. All three routes are on Sentosa, incorporating Siloso
Beach, jungle tracks, elements of the MegaZip adventure park and
a historic fort and tunnel section of Siloso Fort.
