On the 12th of September, the Footpatrol Run Club (FPRC) had the pleasure of teaming up with Altra for an exclusive wear test event, combining innovation, fitness, and community spirit.
The night kicked off with an insightful session led by the Altra team, who delved deep into the features and technology that define their various styles. From the balanced cushioning to the FootShape™ toe boxes, our runners were enlightened on how these unique aspects work harmoniously to enhance performance and comfort.
Following the informative session, it was time to put theory into practice. Our FPRC runners eagerly laced up their Altra shoes, ready to experience firsthand the difference that innovative footwear can make. With the sun setting, casting a golden hue over the city, we set off on a 6K run through some of our favourite routes.
But the evening wasn’t just about running; it was also about community. After the run, we gathered at the Footpatrol Store for refreshments provided by House of Cans.
