Over 100 participants turn up for 2024 shirtless run, as Body Positivity Movement sets eyes on making event an annual occurence
Whilst Kona has its famous Underpants Run, Singapore has its own "Shirtless Run",
held by body positivity movement Rock The Naked Truth.
First created in 2023 on Sentosa Island, with the purpose of helping individuals accept their bodies, and gain self-confidence, the shirtless run made its return again in January this year at Home Team NS Bedok Reservoir.
The concept is simple – take off your shirt and run.
Rock The Naked Truth founder Cheryl Tay shares that the event is likely to be an annual happening, with this year's edition done in conjunction with RTNT's 8th anniversary.
“When I first conceptualised it, I was worried that people might be too shy. However,
I’ve received a lot of support and positive feedback, with many people stepping
forward to do this," said Tay.
“This year, with the support of HomeTeamNS and Sengkang East CSN, we held it at
HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir and over 100 runners turned up. They ran a loop
around the beautiful reservoir, came back for a buffet breakfast with 100PLUS
drinks, got a tarot card reading, played games and then waited for the lucky draw
which had prizes from Therabody, Asics and Red Dot Running Co."
She added: “With the continued positive response we have been getting for this run, I’ve decided to make this an annual event for the community and it will be held every year on the
first Saturday of January.”
