SINGAPORE: A publicity stunt to promote the Anlene Orchard Mile run may have ended up running afoul of the law.

About 20 men took part in a 'mock protest' along Orchard Road on Sunday afternoon to complain about not being able to take part in the women-only run.

The organisers did not have a permit to do so and police are investigating the incident.

The Anlene Orchard Mile, which will be held on June 15, is in its second year.

Organisers had hoped 5,000 women would sign up for the run. - CNA/so/ir
