Taking learnings from minimalism, Merrell designs light and fast trail running shoes for Spring 2014. The new AllOut Collection features a flexible underfoot wrap that mobilizes the arch.

RunSociety had the chance to catch Acti-Tape in action at their Singapore workshop on last Tuesday. As the official tape supplier of the 2XU Compression Run 2014, instructors demonstrated how the therapeutic tape can help provide support to joints and muscles, as well as enhancing sports performance.

Following the success of the first Vietnam Mountain Marathon in 2013, the event is set to return this year on September 20. It offers unique trail runs of 21km, 42km and 70km in the stunning rice terrace-clad mountains surrounding Sapa.
