Walk of a Lifetime (WOAL) is St. Andrew’s Autism Centre (SAAC)’s annual autism advocacy walk. This meaningful event champions the cause of autism awareness and acceptance in Singapore. Walk of a Lifetime encourages participants to step in solidarity with persons with autism and their families, fostering empathy and deeper understanding of their lived experiences and challenges. Join SAAC in enabling persons with autism to lead dignified and meaningful lives!
29 August 2026, from 8am to 11am. The start and end point will be at The Meadow @ Gardens by the Bay.
It will be a scenic 2km walk, with lots to learn along the way. This will take you about 40-45 minutes to complete.
In case of wet weather during the event, participants are advised to take shelter as soon as possible. Should wet weather start before the event or persist for more than 15 minutes during the event, the event will be called off and participants will be informed via the official Walk of a Lifetime 2026 WhatsApp Community. A link to join the community will be shared upon registration.

Q: Will participants aged 5 and below receive a goodie bag and event T-shirt?
Participation is free for children aged 5 and below, and families are encouraged to bring them along. However, goodie bags and T- shirts will not be provided for this age group.
These sizes have been excluded because their measurements are very close to the sizes we already offer. By selecting a streamlined yet diverse size range, we can provide participants with more meaningful variety and a better fitting experience overall.
