Under Armour Challenges And Empowers Runners To Go All Out

SINGAPORE, 28 April – Can you run faster than your 12-year-old self? Challenge yourself by joining the Under Armour All Out Mile from 1 June to 5 June, with help from Under Armour athletes and coaches. Through this guidance over a 30-day training period from 1 to 31 May, runners in Singapore will be empowered as they aim to go all out to clock their fastest mile, or 1.6km. This marks the All Out Mile’s first appearance in Asia, after its inaugural edition in the United States last year.

Introducing the UA All Out Mile

The UA All Out Mile provides the motivation, the coaching, and the training plan to help runners run their fastest mile. With virtual participation in 14 countries, Under Armour has almost doubled regional participation from last year’s challenge to deliver a global event in both virtual and live formats. Teams and solo runners will take on the 30-day challenge of training with resources provided, with the ultimate goal of going All Out just in time for Global Running Day on 1 June.

All Out Mile in Singapore

Most Singaporeans might remember the one mile (1.6km) they had to complete for their physical fitness test in Primary School. Runners can now challenge themselves to beat their previous 1.6km time, with the help of a virtual training plan. The plan will be available on the MapMyRun app from 1 to 31 May.

The competition window runs from 1 June to 5 June, and only runs clocked during this period will be counted as submissions to the challenge. To be eligible for prizes, participants must connect their MapMyRun account to FitRankings during registration. Results will be announced on 10 June, with attractive prizes to be won across two categories!
