Newton Running Sponsors Chicago Area Runners Association’s Ready to Run 20 Miler
(Boulder, CO) – Leading natural running education and footwear brand Newton Running has signed a two-year agreement with the Chicago Area Runners Association (CARA) to sponsor the Newton Ready to Run 20 Miler on September 18, 2011.
The Newton Ready to Run 20 Miler mimics the experience of running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon by providing runners, half of whom train with CARA’s summer marathon training program, a fully supported 20-miler as their last long training session before tapering for the 26.2-mile marathon on October 9. About 4000 marathoners-in-training are expected at the Newton Ready to Run 20 Miler.
“We chose to work with CARA because we share a commitment to natural running education and we consider Chicago one of America’s premier running cities,” says Doug Bertram, Director of Grassroots Marketing for Newton Running, who oversees the Newton Natural Running™ Symposia and Coaching Certification Programs.
Since its launch in 2010, Newton Natural Running™ Symposia and Coaching Certification programs have taught thousands of runners around the world how to reduce the chance of injury and run faster and more efficiently by adopting a natural running posture and the benefits of natural running shoes.
Newton Running is also sponsoring CARA’s eight-week Beginning Running, 5K and 10K training programs in the Chicago area starting this October. A dozen of CARA’s volunteer group leaders will become Newton Natural Running™ Certified Coaches and lead training runs and educate participants about natural running form, how to prevent injuries and more.
The two organizations also share a mutual commitment to social responsibility. CARA underwrites 60 charities including the American Cancer Society and PAWS Chicago, and Newton Running raises funds and donations for Athletes for a Cure, Trickle Up, One World Running and many more.
