After Sharing Clothes, Enrich Your Mind with Running & Yoga

xChange proposes a new lifestyle that replaces mass production, consumption, and waste with a process of cherishing and circulating goods without the exchange of money. This collaboration brings together xChange, RunGirl—a group of female runners in the fashion, beauty, and media industries with the concept of "enriching daily life with the power of running women"—and WIRED CAFE <> FIT, known for its nature-inspired fitness. The result is an event that is environmentally friendly, promotes health, and enhances beauty by merging the loving and smiling communication gained through xChange with sports like running and yoga.

The xChange Run★Fit event invites participants to bring their casual wear, including running and fitness apparel they no longer wear but might bring joy to someone else (hats, shoes, and accessories are also welcome). In return, they can freely take home any items they find that they love, free of charge, making it a stylish fitness wear swap party.

Each item of clothing brought will have an "Episode Tag" attached, featuring memories or a message for the next owner. This allows for a heartwarming sense of sharing not just the item, but also the emotions and stories embedded within it. Any clothing left unclaimed will be 100% reused through the NPO Fiber Reuse Network.

The venue is WIRED CAFE <> FIT, a facility near Yoyogi Park that combines a cafe, walk-running station, and outdoor fitness studio. The schedule includes a casual wear exchange (including running and fitness apparel), followed by a relaxed 30-45 minute run in Yoyogi Park with RunGirl, and finally, a conditioning yoga session led by yoga instructor Hanako Yamamoto to soothe tired bodies—a truly refreshing experience for both mind and body.

After decluttering your closet, this special event offers a chance to reset your mind and body with running and yoga.
