Originally Conceptualised and curated by X-Change Republic Pte Ltd, the concept of the YOLO Run is for participants to free themselves (#freeyourselves). The philosophy of “you only live once” (#YOLO) is well illustrated by the mindset where participants strip it all off (worries) and not care about what people think, from labels to stereotypes to body types and inhibitions, and is cleverly complemented by the literal action of running shirtless. YOLO Run has since changed this concept to cater to families rather than professional runners. YOLO Run believes that teaching the importance of self- love and confidence is important for the generations to come.
