Singapore – Global apparel retailer UNIQLO is partnering with race organiser RUNRIO to launch the Disney Run Singapore 2026 presented by UNIQLO, marking the first Disney-themed Mickey Mouse and friends race in Southeast Asia.
The event is scheduled to take place on 5 July 2026 at Palawan Green in Singapore. Organisers said the run will center on themes of friendship and togetherness, featuring elements inspired by Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck.
According to the organisers, participants will receive official race T-shirts featuring Mickey & Friends-themed designs as part of the collaboration with UNIQLO Singapore. The race will also include themed race essentials such as drawstring bags, finisher’s towels, medals and race bibs featuring Disney characters.
The sponsorship expands on UNIQLO’s global “MAGIC FOR ALL” collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, which integrates Disney characters into apparel collections and in-store experiences worldwide. UNIQLO said it will also host race village activations and Disney Run-inspired activities at selected stores in Singapore.
“We are delighted to team up with RUNRIO and Disney to bring the magic of the Disney Run to Singapore,” said Paulene Ong, Marketing Director, UNIQLO Singapore. “As participants get ready for the run, we encourage them to choose comfortable options such as our quick-drying DRY-EX items with breathable mesh, and Ultra Stretch bottoms that move easily in all directions. Through LifeWear, we hope to make an active lifestyle more joyful, accessible – and a little more magical – for everyone.”
The event will feature three race categories designed for different fitness levels and age groups. Participants may choose between a 5km competitive route, a 3km casual run, and a 1km category intended for one parent and one child to participate together.
RUNRIO President and CEO Rio de la Cruz said the event aims to bring Disney stories closer to fans and families in Singapore through a community-focused running experience.
“We are excited to bring Disney stories closer to fans, families and the running community in Singapore through this event. Mickey & Friends are loved across generations, and this run is designed to offer something for everyone. Having UNIQLO on board as our Presenting Sponsor allows us to elevate the experience further. It provides an opportunity for people to stay active with their loved ones in a way that is playful, fun and accessible.”
