On Saturday 21st June we held an event at our Paris store during the iconic annual French music celebration Fête De La Musique in light of the launch of New Balance’s latest model, the Abzorb 2000.

Recently Footpatrol teamed up with runner Leon Lewis to support his latest challenge ‘Project Run Jamaica’, a 345KM+ run across the island in 4 days, a feat that has never been done before.
Jamaica has been seen as a country that excels in short distance running, developing some of the greatest track-stars to date. Leon’s mission is to not only bring the community together but, also introduce long distance / ultra distance running to the Island in the hopes of inspiring others.
It only felt right to partner with PUMA, who are Jamaica’s biggest sportswear sponsor to bring this project to life and support Leon.
To kick things off, we hosted a send off community run from the Footpatrol London store with a series of wear test pairs, giveaway merch, food and beverages. Thank you for all that attended, stay tuned to the Footpatrol Run Club page where we will be sharing coverage of Leon’s journey on this Project Run Jamaica challenge.
Here’s a recap of what went down!

On 29th August we hosted a Mizuno Neo Vista launch run which included the Mizuno fam bringing down some try-on pairs for the Footpatrol Run Club to take them for a spin on our 6K run.
We had the Mizuno team talk us through the technology and use cases. Mizuno Wave midsole technology provides expert cushioning and stability with a X10, durable carbon rubber, allowing for longer wear and lower impact in pressure areas.
We had post-run refreshments provided by Liquid Death and Jubel.

Over 17,000 runners showed up to the Saucony London 10k over the weekend, making their way through central London with the backdrop of iconic landmarks along the way.
We had 3 of our FPRC runners enter the race; Freddi George, Bradley Martinez and Jordan Mitchell who took the streets of London in Saucony footwear and with the test of setting new PBs, having fun and reaching personal goals, all of which were achieved.
Well done to FPRC runners and all participants and big shoutout to Saucony, same again next year?
