What’s up Philadelphia…..and friends joining us from around the world! Here are a few things we’re excited about in the Robust Realm of Running!
Locally
We celebrated the 10th anniversary of The Philly 10K over the weekend. If you missed it, don’t let FOMO hit you too hard. Come race with us and our friends from Brooks this September…..and October with our friends from Altra…..
Nationally
Hood To Coast, sponsored by Nike, also occurred over the weekend. HTC is the largest running/walking relay race in the world and is affectionately known as the "Mother of All Relays". Folks from all 50 states and almost the same number of countries. 8–12 member teams, 199 miles from Mount Hood to Seaside, Oregon. Anyone running next year?
Globally
The Ultra–Trail du Mont–Blanc (UTMB) World Series Finals kicked off today (August 28, 2023). Sponsored by HOKA, the race has been hailed as the most competitive trail ultramarathon on Earth! Follow it LIVE.
The 2023 World Athletics Championships have come and gone. WAY too many highlights; ASICS did a phenomenal job with coverage. Check out the official website as well as CITIUS MAG for a comprehensive recap.
The Nike ZoomX Dragonfly was the shoe of the competition. It's currently Cross Country season, and The Swoosh has a XC version as well. Check them out and all of our other men's and women's spikes.....
Wait, still speaking about Worlds…..have you been following the back–and–forth between Noah Lyles and the NBA?!?!? Get your popcorn ready…..
Missed Worlds? The 2023 Zurich Diamond League – Weltklasse Zurich broadcasts live this Thursday, August 31 via multiple worldwide outlets, including RunnerSpace. It’s only a 90–minute flight from Budapest, so expect some of your favorite stars to make the Hungary–to–Switzerland jump and compete.
Have a great week! If you can't wait that long, stop into one of our stores (Center City, University City, Manayunk, or Glen Mills) to say hello. We’ll see you back here for next Monday’s recap.
