Best Foot Forward (BFF) is a fundraising challenge organised by NTU’s University Advancement Office (UAO). This event aims to unite the OneNTU community through fitness and philanthropy.
Participants can choose to run, walk, or cycle to clock mileage for the fundraising challenge. Non-participating individuals can still show support by donating to support runners, cyclists or teams.
Your participation in BFF 2026 will contribute towards a support area of your choice, be it the NTU Bursary Fund, the NTU Alumni Fund or any of the School Advancement Funds.
UAO has partnered with student-led NTU Runners’ Club to present the kick-off event, “X Campus Run” on 6 February 2026. The virtual challenge will continue until 17 April 2026.
Last year, over 2,000 participants around the world participated in BFF 2025, clocking in a record-high distance of 78,000km and raised more than S$238,000 for NTU students.
In its 5th edition, we look forward to setting a new record for Best Foot Forward 2026 with your strong support.
Best Foot Forward is part of the Alumni Sports Challenge 2026, an inter-school sporting competition where alumni participation in NTU-wide sports events contribute to their school’s aggregate scores. The Sports Challenge culminates in the annual NTU Alumni Homecoming Sports Challenge, where the overall winning school will be awarded the Alumni Sports Challenge Shield.
