SGX Bull Charge, the flagship charity initiative of Singapore Exchange (SGX), is going virtual for the first time, a news release confirmed. The event will take place from 30 October to 13 November and is open to local and international runners.

The charity run will begin with a virtual three km Chief Challenge involving CEOs and executives.
