For most of us in the Philadelphia Running Community, The Philly 10K marks the end of the summer running/racing season. It also indicates the beginning of the fall running/racing season. And the first major race on deck for us – Philadelphia Distance Run. The final price increase for the 2024 PDR Half Marathon & 5K is coming! Sign up before midnight tomorrow, August 31st to save on registration. I registered for the 5K this week!
As we put a bow on August and prepare to unwrap September, I'd be remiss if I didn't state that both the Mayor's Cup and Philly 10K were electric! The Olympics were unreal! College Football is completely back. And the NFL starts next week. Brasil is experiencing a terrible wildfire season, so most importantly I hope all persons, places, and things are safe and ok...and/or are tracking in that direction. The Eagles are supposed to play in Sao Paulo next Friday.
The Phillies.....STILL (nervous sigh) too early to comment!
Philadelphia Runner will have new apparel styles from Vuori, Nike, Oiselle, The North Face, Patagonia, and the extremely rare Squadra Di Corsa collection from Diadora. As well as new PR Apparel! As far as what's on our feet?
ASICS GT 2000 13 – designed to help provide adaptative on–demand support. So when you're lacing up for a quick group run or a long slow run, you'll have a little bit of lightweight stability. Just in case you need it.
ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 – this is an extremely popular shoe. These will definitely sell out. It's one of the most responsive, energized rides on the roads (streets, treadmills, paths, etcetera).
Brooks Ariel GTS 24 / Brooks Beast GTS 24 – max stability trainers. The Beast GTS is a men's sized model, and the Ariel GTS' sizing is women’s.
HOKA Mach X 2 – sequel to the tremendously popular Mach X. The original X introduced me to supertrainers last year. Changed the trajectory of my running experience!
As always check out some of the events that your Philadelphia Runner Family has lined up for you. That information can be found HERE.
See you at the Philadelphia Distance Run!
