Running alone can be boring and “challenging” sometimes, that’s why we need the support of running peers to encourage and train with. The running community in Singapore is vibrant which enables the thriving of active running groups. Previously we have introduced several interesting Singapore running clubs and groups. Today we introduce another list of running groups that you can join for free. Some of them you might have heard of before, others could be new to you.
