What’s on this weekend…

Up for a challenge, girls? We’re putting the pedal to the metal in the run up to Spartan Race, HK’s epic obstacle challenge, starting with a special reader’s training session!

Spartan Race x Sassy Reader Training session

A couple of us at Sassy HQ have taken the plunge and signed ourselves up for one of the most epic obstacle races in Hong Kong – The Spartan Race!

Where: Hong Kong Park/Tamar Park 
How much: Free to attend! Make sure you RSVP quickly as capacity is limited to just 70 girls on Sunday and 30 girls on the Monday.
