In conjunction with the official launch of Under Armour HOVR Connected Run Suite on 1st February 2019, Under Armour<\/strong> organised its largest collaborative run on 30th January 2019. This run featured all three of Under Armour\u2019s Running Crews namely Superhero Runners<\/a>, Running Department<\/a> and Simple Runners<\/a>. Every participant was able to participate to take part across\u00a0three unique 6km routes starting from Under Armour Collyer Quay.<\/p>\n

Having the right footwear is necessary for all runners no matter if you are a casual or\u00a0professional runner competing at the highest level. Taking care of the body is a need and Under Armour\u2019s New Suite of UA HOVR Run Shoes are designed with that in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many participants had the opportunity to run with either the HOVR Sonic 2 or HOVR Guardian, testing out the feeling of\u00a0the shoes as well as trying out the UA MapMyRun app. The\u00a0UA MapMyRun app allows\u00a0the runner to seamlessly connect it to their shoes while unlocking access to the runner\u2019s performance data and personalised coaching.<\/p>\n

UA Run Day<\/h2>\n

My colleagues\u00a0and I had the greatest opportunity to participate in this running event. We were able to try out\u00a0the HOVR Sonic 2 while running alongside with the running crews. As we gathered at Under Armour Collyer Quay, there were already hundreds of runners warming up and preparing for the run. The event officially started when the emcee introduced both the HOVR Sonic 2 or HOVR Guardian up close while everyone admires it in awe.<\/p>\n

After the short introduction, it was time to start running. Everyone gathered to their respective running crews as different crews were running different routes. We decided to join the Superhero Runners as they were taking their run through the Padang Loops while the Running Department was taking their run along the Singapore River and Simple Runners took their run along Garden By The Bay.<\/p>\n

We first split into two different paces, 6 and 7 minutes pacing and finally, we set off. The run was held on the same day as i Light Singapore 2019<\/a> was held, therefore the running scenery was very beautiful. The running crew were all very supportive all the way until the end, no man was left behind.<\/p>\n

At the end of the run, we were all provided with refreshments from Pocari Sweat for our achievements. Hence, the conclusion of this short running event held by UA. Overall, the run was rather well organised.<\/p>\n
