After making a splash in Australia and China, ILLUMI RUN is bringing the party back to where it started—here in Singapore! Mark the date: Saturday, 28 November 2015.

In case you grew up in a household where ghosts were discounted by your mum—yet you’ve got reservations—it’s impossible to ignore the fact that ghost stories and tales get major attention in Singapore, even among the most sceptical people. Things get particularly scary in August when the Hungry Ghost Festival takes place this year in Singapore from 14th August – 12th September, so give Singapore ghosts a wide berth if you run in these eleven neighbourhoods or risk other-worldly creatures following you!

People in the Philippines are very interested in maintaining their health and keeping their lives active.

Many people are interested in running as a sport and exercise, and this is a wonderful place to do so whether you want a difficult trail to challenge yourself or an easy trail to navigate.

It’s a primary law of physics: What goes up, must come down—or at least that’s what Sir Isaac Newton proved after watching that apple fall from a tree. In Singapore, going up and down has equally scientific roots. The fitness community is enamoured with extreme sports competitions, which is why events that send people scurrying up tall building stairwells to nab medals and prizes aren’t uncommon. But the art of stair climbing takes a revolutionary step on 3 October 2015 when the first ever “vertical endurance event” is held at the Singapore National Stadium. Organisers call it the “Singapore Sports Hub Stepper” (SSHS). We call it downright exhilarating, which is why you’ll want to step up to this first-time competition.

Who says guys don’t care about quality, style and fit when they pursue their favourite athletic endeavors? Not us! Savvy men know that if the clothing they buy to run, workout and otherwise engage in sports with doesn’t fit properly or hold up, what’s the point? Perhaps that’s the reason international sports enthusiasts love the Newline brand of fashionable, trendy, hard-working separates. Guys look good, their garb stands up to rugged endeavours, yet these separates wash like a dream. Newline just introduced a trio of new designs for their Imotion collection. After all, dressing for comfort and style doesn’t have to be limited to formal occasions!

When the host of the U.S. TV show “Family Feud” asked contestants to name famous people named Newton, their answers included entertainers Wayne Newton and Olivia Newton-John, iconic physicist Sir Isaac Newton and even the Nabisco brand cookie Fig Newton. Not a soul named American Jerry Lee, the guy who co-opted the name Newton to brand his athletic shoe company!
