New Balance recently hosted the Canadian Fresh Foam X 1080v14 Launch Party in Toronto to kick-off the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon weekend and iRun was there. After demoing the shoe and introducing Canadians to the fourteenth iteration of one of running’s all-time most popular models, runners mingled, snacked and generally left the event inspired for race day (in addition to being informed of a great new training shoe).
Following up on the Canadian launch, New Balance will be at the TCS New York City Marathon this weekend, hosting “The Clubhouse,” at 10 Columbus Circle, at Fleet Feet, with Happy Hour, Swag, DJs and a shakeout run Saturday morning with Meb Keflezighi, American 2004 Olympic Marathon silver medalist and all-around awesome guy.
The festivities begin November 1 at 8am and run through Monday, November 4 at 4pm, when the “The Clubhouse” turns into a “Recovery Zone,” and racers can have their medals engraved. iRun will be by the Clubhouse Saturday around 12:30pm, and many of our friends from BlackToe running the New York Marathon will also be dropping in around that time.
Look for a review of the great Fresh Foam X 1080v14 dropping soon at iRun. And if you’re in New York this weekend for the marathon, meet us at The Clubhouse and, together, let’s get psyched.
