2:09 Events select Soleus as their official timing partner

Specialist sports distribution agency Fit Brands has signed an exclusive deal with 2:09 Events to become the official timing partner through its Soleus Running watch brand.

The deal will see Soleus work closely with 2:09 Events, which has developed a reputation for providing high end travel and accommodation to some of the world’s most prestigious running events, as well developing a portfolio of exciting UK and overseas races.

2:09 Events was founded by London Marathon winner Mike Gratton in 2003. With a background in race organization through Mike’s club Invicta East Kent, where he had managed the Canterbury 10km and created the Canterbury 10 miles, the company decided to bolster its services and develop a race management section to organize events both in the UK and abroad.

As official timing partner, Soleus will provide prizes at 2:09 events as well as a branded race clock at all UK races. The brand will have a noticeable presence through start and finish line bannering.

The partnership kicked off with the Longleat 10k, and will also take in growing events such as the South Downs Trail Marathon, the Rivington Trail Marathon, the Dunsfold 10k and duathlon and the Turbo X adventure run.

Commenting on the partnership, Fit Brands managing director Jon Dennis said: “We are delighted to be associated with a brand as well-respected as 2:09 Events. We look forward to growing this relationship based on our mutually beneficial goals.

“Soleus Running watches are made by runners for runners. They are simple to use, intuitive and inspirational. It is these three key traits that we will look to harness in our activity with 2:09 Events to continue to push the name of Soleus to the UK running community.”

2:09 Events managing director Mike Gratton said: “2:09 Events are delighted to be working closely with Fit Brands and Soleus, linking our runners with a great value and top quality timing and GPS system that perfectly complements our events.”

Soleus GPS 1.0 Running Watch In-Depth Review

I had heard about the Soleus GPS 1.0 watch a few times over the course of the fall, but with how busy things have been, I just didn’t have the chance to hit up the folks from Soleus and give it a shot. But back around Thanksgiving we got in contact and they sent me out a unit to try out.

Fit Brands selected as UK partner for On Running AG

On Runing AG, the ISPO BrandNew Award winner 2010, has selected Fit Brands as their UK sales partner for the launch of the new Swiss footwear brand. On features a revolutionary new cushioning technology called "On Cloudtec." The CloudTec elements reduce impact force by 25 - 30%, allows the foot to glide to a slower holt, and lock together to offer a firm push off. The 3D flexibility of the 13 On CloudTec elements are responsible for the astonishing sensation of running light, almost as if on clouds.

On will be launched at the upcoming London Running Show (Nov 27th/28th) and available later this year through select running specialty partners throughout the UK.
