Allowed attire

Not allowed — you will be turned away

• Long sleeves
• Tights below the knee and track pants
• Working shoes, slippers or sandals
• Anything the FCC staff judge outside SAF dress regulations

Why so strict?

The static stations are conducted and counted under standardised conditions, and the run is a mass-participation event — SAF applies one dress standard at all FCCs so results are comparable and safe. There are no exceptions and no second chances on the same day: wrong attire means rebooking on OneNS and coming back another day. Check your kit the night before, together with what to bring.

Test-day comfort tips (within the rules)

• Wear the running shoes you trained in — never race-day-new shoes
• Light, breathable top: Singapore humidity is part of the test
• Pin or pocket your belongings plan in advance — bring a small bag for valuables

FAQs

What attire is required for IPPT?

A singlet, t-shirt or polo; knee-length or running shorts (tights only above the knee); and running shoes with laces tied. SAF dress regulations apply at all FCCs.

Can I wear track pants or long tights for IPPT?

No. Track pants, below-knee tights and long sleeves are not allowed — you can be turned away at the FCC and will have to rebook.

What happens if I wear the wrong attire?

You will be turned away for that session with no same-day second chance. Rebook another slot on OneNS and come back in proper PT attire.
