Brooks Gears Up Pacers For Standard Chartered KL
Marathon 2017
More than 35,000 runners to receive Brooks race
T’s
KUALA LUMPUR, 25 March 2017: The Standard Chartered KL Marathon (SCKLM) 2017 Pacers
will be clad in official apparel sponsor Brooks gear and will be highly visible
in luminous yellow tops. A total of 30 runners received their Pacer kits at a
handover ceremony that also saw the official opening of the Brooks concept
store at brand new mall, MyTown in Cheras.
Pacers received their
exclusively designed Brooks singlets with Equilibrium Technology, along with a
pair of running shorts and shoes. There will be 24 Pacers assisting runners in
the Full Marathon category and for the first time, there will also be another 6
Pacers for the Half Marathon category.
Pacing is a crucial
element if you want to complete a marathon in your expected time and Pacers
play an important role in helping to ensure runners keep to the required pace.
New runners especially, find it difficult keeping pace due to inexperience and
fatigue, and this is where expert Pacers can provide the right encouragement
and motivation to get runners back on track to finish the race in the required
time.
“Pacers play an
integral part in any marathon and we go through a fairly stringent process to
select them. We invite runners to register as Pacers and then check their
previous race records to determine their timing consistency, as well as running
experience,” said Rainer Biemans, Project Director of SCKLM and Director of
Dirigo Events, the owners and organiser of the race.
More than 35,000
runners will be participating in the run this year, and all runners will
receive exclusive Brooks racing T’s with their Race Packs, along with Brooks
vouchers.
“We’re extremely
pleased to partner yet again with the Standard Chartered KL Marathon, the
premier running event in the country, and we are focused on providing the best
possible
running experience for
SCKLM participants through our innovative running shoes and apparel,” said Tiew
Cheng Tai, Managing Director, Paragon Vest Sdn Bhd. “This brand new Brooks
retail outlet is also equipped with Run Signature, our proprietary technology
that analyses your running gait and then pairs you with the perfect shoes for
your particular experience,” he added.
If you didn’t get to register for SCKLM 2017,
fret not as you can still avail yourselves of exclusive Brooks SCKLM2017
merchandise from www.kl-marathon.com.
