Great Eastern and The Kallang Group have officially named the 888-metre sheltered running track encircling the National Stadium as Great Eastern Promenade. This marks a significant step in transforming one of Singapore’s largest fully-sheltered, free-to-use civic spaces into a vibrant hub for community events and social connections.
The launch event saw close to 350 individuals and families participating in activities such as family pickleball, beginner-friendly cycling tryouts, and the Great FinChamp Challenge, an interactive game designed to teach children key financial concepts. Additionally, 75 runners inaugurated the unisex Great Eastern Run Club, inspired by the annual Great Eastern Women’s Run.
Greg Hingston, Group CEO of Great Eastern, highlighted the significance of the promenade, stating, “The promenade at the National Stadium is where the people of Singapore come to walk, run and stay active.” Quek Swee Kuan, CEO of The Kallang Group, added, “We are pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with Great Eastern to enhance our offerings through expanded community sport programmes and initiatives that promote financial literacy.”
The Great Eastern Promenade will host a series of community activities throughout the year, including the Great Family Play Day and the Great Eastern Run Club sessions. The initiative aims to encourage active living and financial literacy, with plans to introduce these aspects into The Kallang’s Learning Journey programme.
As part of its commitment to community engagement, Great Eastern will also launch a financial literacy programme at The Kallang, featuring the Great FinChamp Challenge. This initiative will be housed in a new installation space near National Stadium Gate 14, set to open in the second half of 2026.
