Best Foot Forward (BFF) is a fundraising challenge organised by NTU’s University Advancement Office. The 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. Even if you are not participating, you can still show your support by donating to support the runners, cyclists or teams.

Your participation in BFF 2025 will contribute towards the NTU Bursary Fund, School Advancement Funds or the NBS Bursary Fund of your choice.

UAO has partnered with student-led NTU Runners’ Club to present “X Campus Run” on 21 February 2025 as the physical flag-off event. The virtual race will start from 21 February to 18 April 2025.

Best Foot Forward is part of the Alumni Sports Challenge 2025, an inter-school sporting competition where alumni participation and race results in NTU-wide sports events contribute to their School's aggregate scores. The Challenge culminates in the NTU Alumni Homecoming Sports Fiesta, where the overall winning School will be awarded the Alumni Sports Challenge Shield.
