In 2015, the SKECHERS Running Club was established welcoming runners of all abilities to don their SKECHERS' and train together. These SKECHERS Running Club athletes have proved to be the fastest runners among all the local running clubs and have won a number of individual awards as well as group championships since the Club's Formation.
