‘Power of Running’ Off to Races at Fleet Feet Sports

Fleet Feet Sports officially launched its “Power of Running” campaign this week to all 150 stores across the United States. The campaign enables stores to customize it to their store, community and charitable inclinations. Stores will bring the campaign to life utilizing consistent assets and tools supporting the effort, while also incorporating local imagery and messaging.

The campaign includes:

The Power of Running For Good: A nine-weekend charitable effort done in partnership with Nathan Sports, Superfeet, Balega International, adidas, New Balance, Asics, CEP, and Addaday. Stores will collect a portion of the proceeds from the sale of select products each week and then donate the total sum to a designated local charity.

Run Happy Power Hour: Created with Brooks Running and exclusive to Fleet Feet Sports, this event asks the question, “Which store can log the highest number of miles together in one hour?”

Recess Run: An new and unique event, done in partnership with Throwback Fitness, which incorporates elementary school-type games into a new take on the traditional “fun run.”

The Power of Running to Inspire: A national nomination contest sponsored by Mizuno that will recognize runners and extraordinary community or personal impacts resulting from those runners’ efforts or stories.

Each store is armed with:
