At Running Department, we believe that running is more than just miles on the road—it’s about balance, community, and supporting one another. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce The Off-Duty Runner Collection, a special collaboration with local artist @teechewpaper, designed to remind us that rest is just as important as training.

The Story Behind Off-Duty Runner

The idea for this collection was born from a simple but powerful realization: rest isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an essential part of becoming stronger. As runners, we push ourselves to new limits, but recovery is what allows us to keep going.

To bring this idea to life, we partnered with @teechewpaper, a Singaporean artist known for her intricate hand-drawn digital illustrations. Her designs beautifully capture the concept of balancing effort and recovery, making The Off-Duty Runner Collection more than just merchandise—it’s wearable art with a message.

What’s in the Collection?

The collection features a limited-edition T-shirt, a sleek sling bag, a fun keychain, and a sticker. Whether you’re heading out for a run, taking a well-earned rest day, or just looking for stylish and functional gear, this set is made for you.

A Community That Gives Back

More than just a stylish collection, Off-Duty Runner carries a deeper purpose. All proceeds (after production costs) will be donated to Singapore Children’s Society, an organization dedicated to protecting and nurturing children and youth in need. Your support helps make a tangible difference in their lives.

The Incredible Response

When we first opened pre-orders, we were overwhelmed by the incredible response. The collection sold out in just two hours! Due to popular demand, we’ve reopened pre-orders for a limited time—so if you missed out, now’s your chance. Orders will close on 25 March 2025.

Be Part of the Movement

The Off-Duty Runner Collection isn’t just about apparel—it’s a movement that celebrates balance, community, and giving back. Whether you’re on the track, taking a break, or cheering from the sidelines, we invite you to be part of this journey.

Pre-order your set now and make your rest days count. Let’s run, rest, and give back—together.
