Four additional names will be joining the impressive list of exhibitors and partners at The National Running Show at Birmingham’s NEC on 20-21 January 2018.
The latest exhibitors to come on board are LightupU, Pace Pockets, TrainAsONE and Runarchy. They join a first-class line-up of race organisers, sports retailers, sports brands, nutrition experts, official sporting bodies and communities all set to share their offering at this exciting and innovative new show for runners. Over 12,000 runners have already registered for tickets to The National Running Show and it is set to be the event to attend for anyone with any interest in running.
LightupU is a range of illuminated wearable products aimed at increasing the visibility and safety of runners in poor light or darkness. The range was inspired by runner David Andrews who was hit by a car and left unconscious whilst out running one night. David thankfully made a full recovery and went on to develop this collection of accessories suitable for runners, cyclists and walkers. The range is relevant to anyone exercising outside around or after nightfall, especially during the dark winter months.
Any visitor to The National Running Show who has ever had to work out their target split times mid-race will welcome the presence of Pace Pockets at the show. These ingenious fabric wristbands list a choice of marathon or half marathon split times whilst also acting as a storage pocket for running essentials. Retailing at only £5, they are money very well spent come race day.
TrainAsONE prides itself on being the most sophisticated and advanced training system on the market. It provides intelligent, round-the-clock coaching for runners of all abilities and goals, with highly personalised coaching based on the individual’s health, fitness level, time availability and goals. TrainAsONE can improve the performance of any runner visiting The National Running Show, from those just starting out to seasoned athletes.
Rebellious sportswear brand Runarchy is sure to stand out with its range of edgy sportswear. As a brand dedicated to promoting the positive effects of exercise on the mind, its mission is to make its users feel good by running, exercising and keeping fit their way. As such, Runarchy’s clothing inspires individuality, uniqueness and nonconformity.
