200 take part in barefoot race at Our Tampines Hub while observing safe distancing

By Malavika Menon, The Strait Times


SINGAPORE - Braving the coarse ground, about 200 runners took to the track at Our Tampines Hub (OTH) on Sunday (Nov 29), split into small groups with social distancing in place - all while barefoot.

The OTH Barefoot Run 2020 race was among a few mass runs to take place here since restrictions to curb the spread of Covid-19 were eased, giving a glimpse into how sporting events will fare in the new normal. Many runs scheduled for the year have been postponed or gone virtual.

In Sunday's race, runners in the open categories for men and women above 18 years old had to run three laps of the track, and those in the masters categories for men and women above 40 had to do two laps.

(Other than working with a housing charity, I love that they donated their shoes TO BE RECYCLED!)
