Runners take fitness inside malls as haze affects outdoor training in Singapore

As air quality in Singapore declines due to wildfire smoke from Indonesia, runners have adapted by training inside shopping malls. On October 28, over 80 runners utilized the Marina Square shopping center, turning its corridors into makeshift tracks before opening hours. This unusual training method has emerged as a response to the hazardous conditions that have cancelled outdoor activities. Coaches are working closely with mall management to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. The Singapore Runners Club plans to continue these mall runs if air quality remains poor.
