The drizzle in the morning did not put a damper on the Family Day Walkathon, and Hong Leong Group Singapore staff and family members enjoyed the scenic walk around the Singapore River.


A Fun-Filled
Family Day Walk
For Hong Leong Group
Singapore Staff

On 15 July, 750 staff and family members participated in the Hong Leong Group Sports and Recreation Club (HLGSRC) Family Day Walkathon. This year, participants enjoyed a leisurely 5km scenic walk around the Singapore River, where they passed beautiful local sights along Boat Quay, Read Bridge, and The Promontary @ Marina Bay.

While it drizzled early on in the morning, it did not dampen the spirits, and staff and their families gamely completed the walk before rewarding themselves with a scrumtious breakfast buffet at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. An array of activities were planned to entertain all ages, such as carnival games, a magic show, stilt walkers, balloon sculptures, shoulder massages and caricatures. Booths were also set up for vendors including Irvins Salted Egg, known for its salted egg fried fish skin and potato chips, Cookies 4 U, and Celestial Care, which sells body and haircare products made with goat's milk. A lucky draw was also held, where 67 winners went home with prizes such as shopping vouchers and product hampers.


The event started with a warm-up, to get staff ready for the 5km walk.

Armed with umbrellas, staff were all prepared for the leisure walk along the Singapore River.


At the end of the walkathon, staff and family members enjoyed a delicious breakfast buffet spread and fun activities such as head and shoulders massages.


Participants were entertained by a magic show (left), and enjoyed stage games such as the one pictured above (center and right photos), where families had to squeeze onto a small folded sheet of newspaper.
