SINGAPORE, Oct 19 — Who says the haze has to put a damper on your exercise routine?

With worsening air quality forcing many to rethink their outdoor workouts and to start exercising indoors, a group of runners in Singapore has found an unlikely place to clock their kilometres — inside a shopping mall.

In an Instagram post on Saturday (Oct 17), Joseph Estrella, the organiser of the mall run and run lead of X-Run Singapore, shared snippets of the group running through Marina Square, passing by shuttered shops along the way.

“Haze haze go away or else runners will a find a way!” he quipped, adding that the group “thoroughly enjoyed” their inaugural indoor run, which allowed them to continue training while avoiding the haze.
