8,000 women took part in the Nike She Runs 5K run on Saturday.

The event held at Gardens by the Bay East, is part of Nike's global She Runs series which has seen 85,000 other women take part across 12 cities.

Other host cities include Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, Caracas, Bogotá and Panama;.

This is the third female-only Nike race in Singapore, and is meant to provide women with a platform to connect, inspire and motivate each other to push their limits.

First to cross the finish line for the individual above-25 category was 32-year-old Nike athlete Anne Qihui, with a timing of 17 minutes and 51 seconds.

Runners were also given the opportunity to take pictures with one another at photo booths, on top of indulging themselves in express manicures, massages and food and beverages.

The series will wrap up on June 8 with a race in Quito, Ecuador.
