The annual Song Hong Half Marathon is back on Hanoi’s streets for its 9th year this Sunday, 13 December 2015. This year, volunteer running group Red River Runners collaborates with Education for Nature Vietnam with a “Run for Rhinos” theme to highlight the illegal rhino horn trade in Vietnam.

Anytime Fitness, the world’s largest co-ed health club chain, has achieved another impressive milestone: the opening of its 3,000th gym. Co-Founder and President, Mr Dave Mortensen, is in Singapore to mark the occasion, and also to preside over the grand opening of its new gym at POMO at Selegie Road on Friday, 20 November.

It was an emotional moment. Tears of joy, relief and excitement erupted amongst participants, their companions and organisers alike. As each runner passed under the finishing line banner, they marked the end of six gruelling days conquering a distance of about 160 km across 29,000 m in altitude.

If the Angkor Wat in Cambodia impressed you, then you must visit another attraction that is equal to its magnificence which is the Bagan Archaeological Zone in Myanmar. Today, over 2,000 temples and pagodas still remain in central Myanmar out of the over 10,000 constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries.

Asia is a wonderland of gorgeous beaches; many are already favourites of runners who like the endless expanses of sand and cooling ocean breezes. But we’ve heard a rumour that some of the best beaches of all are those less-frequently visited, so if you decide to see for yourself what the experience of running on sand that’s devoid of humanity feels like, grab your shoes and passport and investigate any of the 10 we’ve uncovered.

Even if the doctor is in when you arrive at Dr. Kevin Tan’s office, don’t expect to find a bowl of candy in his office. Dr. Tan is an endocrinologist specializing in the treatment of diabetes at Mount Elizabeth Medical Center. In his opinion, everyone in Singapore should banish junk food from their diets and substitute exercise. Since Dr. Tan speaks six languages/dialects, he’d be happy to forbid you from indulging in unhealthy eating in every single one of them!
