This November, New Balance celebrates the individuality of all who run, and inviting all to the world of running.


We speak with Raine Chua of New Balance Run Club as part of a three-part 'Run Your Way' series, and ask her what running your way means to her and why she is passionate about running.



You can join Raine in injecting the vibrant spirit of the running community right into the heart of Singapore's premier shopping district, the iconic downtown bay area, and the world-class national sports hub with a one-mile run in the coming weeks!

What does "Run Your Way" mean to you?


Raine: For me "Run Your Way" means running in a way that feels right for you. It means following your own style, your own preferences and methods, instead of trying to meet others' expectations. It's about doing things in a way that suits you best.


Why do you like running?


Raine: Running allows me to stay active and healthy. Running is also a stress reliever and provides a sense of accomplishment when setting and achieving personal goals, whether it's running a certain distance or completing a particular race.

How long have you been running?


Raine: I started running back in 2019, and was someone who only ran a maximum of 5km each time - nothing more, nothing less. Now I won a ballot for next year's Tokyo Marathon, and I will try my best to get there.


What do you like most about the Fresh Foam X 1080v13 shoes?


Raine: I love their cushioning, it provides a comfortable and supportive feel, which is great for running or for daily wear. These shoes also offer a durable and breathable design, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Could you share some words of encouragement for new runners who only just began running?


Raine: Every step you take is progress. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Remember, every runner was once a beginner. You're on your own unique journey, and you're doing great.


Join Raine and New Balance Run Club on Tuesday, 14 November 2023 at the Promontory @ Marina Bay and experience New Balance's cutting-edge innovations and technologies first-hand at the Marina Bay pop-up.
