The world famous Hello Kitty is back in Singapore, and she’s bringing an exciting new twist to this year’s run edition – the first ever Hello Kitty Night Run! Happening on Saturday, 19 December 2015, the night run follows a roaring success in 2014’s run which saw over 17,000 participants and Hello Kitty fans.

What kind of runner are you? Do you eagerly look forward to excelling and pushing your limits with each training, or do you run to unwind, taking your time with no objective in mind? Or do you just plough through your run to hit your workout quota?

You Only Live Once – so free yourselves and run shirtless! For a good cause, of course! Come 22 November 2015, X-Change Republic Pte. Ltd. will donate a T-shirt from their stock to underprivileged children in developing countries, for every shirtless runner at the inaugural YOLO Run.

When the Saucony Ride 8 debuted recently, we felt compelled to take into consideration this model’s dynasty to answer the question of whether an already-fab shoe can be improved upon or whether mistakes made with the Saucony Ride 7 continue to plague the brand.
