Get Fitted Out by the Experts

20 March 2010 - 20 March 2010

With just over a month until the Deep RiverRock Belfast City Marathon, there will be thousands of runners all over the country making their final preparations for race day and squeezing in that last bit of training.

One of the most vital things you can do to ensure success on the big day is have the right pair of running shoes on your feet. If you still haven’t got the ones you intend to wear at the event, fear not, help is at hand!

Next week technical running specialist New Balance and local running shop, Up & Running will be holding a promotional week to make sure all this year’s Marathon and Relay runners have the right footwear to help them go the distance.

From Monday 22nd to Saturday 27th March New Balance brand ambassadors and Up & Running staff will be on hand in store to provide you with expert advice and fit you out with the perfect pair of trainers – plus there will be 10% off all New Balance products!

Whether you are running alone or as part of a relay team, you will be able to access expert gait analysis at the shop (worth £20), to help determine the correct level of cushioning and stability needed in your shoes to optimise your running style. Every pair of full priced New Balance running shoes purchased that week will include a free gift!

New Balance technical rep James Thexton said, “It is highly important to purchase your running shoes from a speciality store and have your foot type and stride pattern analysed. Bring in your old shoes as well as we will be able to see from the bottom how your have worn them in. You should look to bed in new shoes at least two months before the race.”

Monday to Wednesday 9.30am to 6pm
Thursday 9.30am to 7.30pm
