Universal Studios Singapore is opening its gates early this April for a unique cause that swaps high-intensity training for a morning stroll. On April 5, South Korean fitness icon and Physical: 100 champion Amotti will lead “Paws For A Cause: Dog Walk With Amotti,” an exclusive sunrise event designed to support the local visually impaired community. Organized in partnership with Guide Dogs Singapore (GDS), the initiative aims to raise vital funds for the training and pairing of service dogs with those in need.
A Rare Morning at Universal Studios Singapore
While the theme park is typically a hub of adrenaline-fueled coasters and bustling crowds, this event offers a rare opportunity for tranquility. Participants and their canine companions will enjoy early access to the park grounds from 7:00 am to 8:30 am, embarking on a 1km scenic walk through the various themed zones.
Because the walk takes place before standard operating hours, the atmosphere will be significantly quieter than usual, making it a perfect environment for pets to explore a world-class attraction without the midday heat or noise. It is important to note that this is a special-access charity event; while the paths are open for the walk, rides, retail outlets, and restaurants will remain closed until the park’s official opening time.
Meet the Leader: Fitness Star Amotti
Leading the pack is 33-year-old CrossFit athlete and content creator Amotti. The South Korean star recently gained international fame after clinching victory on Netflix’s Physical: 100 Season 2 and Physical: Asia. Known for his rigorous training videos and competitive spirit, Amotti is no stranger to the Lion City, having recently competed at the Hyrox Singapore fitness championships. This event marks a softer side for the athlete as he shifts his focus from professional competition to community advocacy.
Supporting Guide Dogs Singapore
Beyond the novelty of walking a dog past the Hollywood zone, the heart of the event is philanthropy. All proceeds from ticket sales are donated directly to Guide Dogs Singapore. This non-profit organization is dedicated to enhancing the mobility and independence of people with vision loss by providing them with highly trained guide dogs and essential orientation training.
