Fifteen running crews unite for a 60K celebration of movement, connection, and community at Singapore’s historic Pasir Panjang Power Station.
Singapore, 26 October 2025 – The iconic Pasir Panjang Power Station came alive yesterday as over 400 runners from 15 local run crews converged for the New Balance 60K Relay, an electrifying celebration of movement, connection, and community spirit.
What began as a 60-kilometer relay quickly transformed into a city-wide pulse of energy and camaraderie.
With the mantra “Run Your Way”, the event honored not just speed, but the collective joy of running together — celebrating the bonds formed mid-stride, the cheers exchanged between laps, and the shared determination that defines Singapore’s vibrant running culture.
The Race That Moved a City
Each crew, made up of up to 60 runners, tackled 120 laps around a 0.5K circuit looping through and around the historic power station. Crew leaders orchestrated their team strategies — deciding lap order, timing splits, and keeping spirits high.
The event schedule saw check-in at 2PM, a pre-race briefing at 2:15PM, and the race officially flagging off at 3PM sharp. As the sun set over the harbor, runners powered through their final laps, culminating in a finish line celebration at 9PM followed by a lively afterparty at 9:15PM, complete with music, lights, and the unmistakable buzz of accomplishment.
15 Crews, One Pulse
From veteran runners to first-timers, the 15 participating crews brought distinct energy and flair to the race. The lineup included:

Each crew turned the relay into a showcase of unity — coordinated fits, synchronised cheers, and unwavering support on and off the circuit. With no water stations or bag drops, runners leaned on their crews for hydration, motivation, and logistics, reinforcing the event’s theme:
“The run gets us moving. The connection keeps us going.”
More Than a Race — A Shared Experience
Unlike conventional marathons, the New Balance 60K Relay was less about pace and more about participation. There were no registration fees — just the promise of showing up, running as you are, and finding joy in the grind.
Spectators played a vital role, lining the looped course with homemade signs, shouts of encouragement, and boundless energy.
The setup allowed supporters to spot their runners multiple times per lap, turning the event into a citywide block party of movement and music.
The afterparty sealed the day with high spirits, food, and drinks on-site, and a special guest DJ — turning the historic industrial venue into a beacon of community celebration.
The Spirit of the 60K Relay
More than just a physical challenge, the New Balance 60K Relay embodied the heart of Singapore’s running scene — diverse, passionate, and unstoppable. It reminded everyone that running is more than a sport; it’s a shared language that connects strangers, crews, and entire cities.
As one participant summed it up:
“It wasn’t about how fast we ran. It was about who we ran with — and how we lifted each other through every lap.”

I spend a lot of time testing AI tools, and one thing I've learned recently is that image generation quality is improving much faster than most people realize.
Some AI-generated photos now look more realistic than heavily edited real photos.
I built ImageAIChecker as a side project to explore this problem and help people better understand what they're looking at.
Would love to hear where people think AI image detection is heading next.

I've been comparing real voice recordings with AI-generated ones over the past few weeks.
Honestly, some of them are nearly impossible to distinguish without looking more closely at the audio patterns.
I put together a small tool while experimenting with this:

Would be interested to know how often people can correctly guess whether a clip is human or AI.
Water bills have gotten ridiculous where I live, so I've been looking into drought-tolerant lawn options lately.

Worth a look if you're trying to use less water but still keep a decent lawn.
