Sep 14 Long Run: Powered by New Balance and Smartwater

Hey Friends,

I wanted to share some details about this weekend’s long run… its going to be an exciting one!

Our friends at New Balance are ready to party with us on Saturday! First, we’re going to start with a shoe donation drive. Bring your old running sneaks (or any old shoes, I suppose) and we’ll collect them and donate them! For every pair you bring in, you’ll get 1 entry into a drawing for a brand new pair of running shoes, courtesy of NB (max. 4 entries per person). If you are bringing shoes, please plan to arrive early. We’ll open up the shop 30 minutes early this weekend (7:00a) to allow enough time to collect all the shoes. The drawing will take place as we kick-off the run, and the winners will be announced before we take off!

After you’ve dropped off your old shoes, feel free to grab a pair of the all new SC Trainer from NB to demo during your long run! One of NB’s newest and most popular models, it’ll be a lot of fun to run in.

The party won’t end once we get back from the run, New Balance will be treating us to some coffee, so plan to hang out and relax after crushing some miles!

Now for the actual run, the plan is to run 13mi out to Fresh Pond in Cambridge and back. Fall races are approaching quick, people are itching to get the mileage up, and we’re going to have a blast!

If a 13mi long run is not in the cards for you, please still join us on Saturday! We’ll share the details for cutting the route to get back to the finish line in fewer miles.

Smartwater is going to be out on the course , posted up strategically so that we pass them at both mile 5 and mile 8 of the run. They’ll have water and Vitamin Water for all of us on Saturday.

It’s going to be such a good one, can’t wait to see you all there!
