When a brand invites you to lace up your shoes, it’s usually about selling sneakers.

With two distances, a finisher medal for everyone, and a charity beneficiary still under wraps, here’s everything you need to plan your 2025 outing — from registration to results.

What is the Skechers Friendship Walk 2025?

History of the event

  • The Skechers Friendship Walk began as a brand-driven community run in Hong Kong and expanded to Singapore in 2018 (Life’s Tiny Miracles (Singapore family blog)).
  • The 2018 Singapore edition was held at Gardens by the Bay East, setting the tone for waterfront venues.
  • By 2025, the event has become an annual fixture in the Singapore running calendar (JustRunLah!).

Mission and charity focus

The walk-run event blends brand activation with community building. Past editions supported local charities; the 2025 Singapore beneficiary has not been named yet. The 2022 edition allowed participants to complete walking missions at Skechers stores (Mothership (Singapore news site)), suggesting a charity tie-in each year.

Bottom line: The Skechers Friendship Walk 2025 is less a race and more a branded community initiative that uses walking and running to raise money for a cause. Participants who want a low-stakes, family-friendly event: this fits. Competitive runners who want a timed 10K: you get that too.

When and Where is the Skechers Friendship Walk 2025?

Confirmed date for Singapore

  • The Singapore edition is listed for 31 August 2025, starting at 06:00 AM (JustRunLah!).
  • A separate Facebook post from JomRun suggests a 7 September 2025 date (Facebook (JomRun)), creating slight date uncertainty.
  • Venue: Marina Barrage, a waterfront civic space in central Singapore (JustRunLah!).

Possible other locations (Hong Kong)

According to the Skechers Friendship Walk Hong Kong site, the Hong Kong edition runs separately and is planned for 2026.

The pattern: Skechers operates the Friendship Walk in multiple Asian markets, with Singapore and Hong Kong as the primary hubs.

Bottom line: Register for 31 August unless the official Skechers Singapore page confirms otherwise. The venue, Marina Barrage, is a flat, scenic route — good for walkers and beginners.

How Do I Register for the Skechers Friendship Walk 2025?

Registration process

Registration is open through the official portal at SKECHERS Friendship Walk (official registration portal). The portal allows multiple family members to register under one email address (SKECHERS Friendship Walk). Alternative sign-up on JomRun (event partnership platform) was used for the 2026 edition.

  • Early bird registration closed 24 June 2025 (Instagram post (Skechers)).
  • Standard registration deadline noted as 17 August in a Facebook post (Facebook (JomRun)).
  • Participants receive an event jersey and finisher medal (details vary by registration type).

Fees and what to prepare

The exact fee has not been published for 2025. The 2026 edition on Honeycombers listed individual, buddy, and family pricing tiers (Honeycombers (Singapore lifestyle guide)). Expect a similar structure for 2025.

What to watch

Singapore families: the group registration feature means one adult can manage sign-ups for the whole household. That’s convenience the event’s marketing leans on.

What to Expect at the Skechers Friendship Walk 2025

Distances and categories

  • 10 km competitive run (timed).
  • 5 km fun walk (untimed, leisure pace).
  • Both start at 06:00 AM (JustRunLah!).

Participant entitlements

  • Event jersey (design varies each year).
  • Finisher medal for every finisher — not just podium placers (JustRunLah!).
  • Water stations along the route (not yet confirmed for 2025 but standard for past editions).

Charity beneficiary

Not yet announced. The 2022 edition encouraged participants to walk 100 km in-store to support charity missions (Mothership). Expect a similar partnership for 2025.

The catch

Without a named beneficiary, participants who care about cause marketing may wait before registering. If the charity is local and well-known, it could double turnout.

Skechers Friendship Walk 2025 Results and Future Editions

How to access results

Race results for the 2025 edition will be posted on SportsPlits (timing partner). The 2024 results were also published there. No route map has been published for the 2025 Singapore edition yet.

Upcoming 2026 edition

The Skechers Friendship Walk & Run 2026 in Singapore is already listed for 7 June 2026 at Marina Barrage (Instagram reel (Skechers Singapore)). Registration for 2026 opened with early-bird pricing (JomRun).

The 2026 Honeycombers listing confirms the same 10 km run / 5 km walk format with individual, buddy, and family options (Honeycombers).

Bottom line: If you miss the 2025 edition, the 2026 event is already on the calendar. The format is stable, so training for a 10 km run or a leisure 5 km walk works for either year.

“Skechers Friendship Walk & Run 2026 brought together an incredible community.”

— JomRun Instagram reel, June 2026

Participants in the 2022 edition could complete 100 km walking missions at Skechers stores to donate to charity.

— Mothership (2022 article)

The implication: The event’s long-term pattern is consistent: same venue, same distance choices, same focus on inclusivity. The biggest unknowns for registrants are the fee and the charity partner. Once those are announced, the remaining friction disappears.
