Run Wicked Fah with PUMA^®
During Marathon Weekend

Sportlifestyle brand challenges Bostonians
to run for charity

What:        
Whether you’re running the big “26.2,” cheering someone on,
or just looking for a little weekend workout, the PUMA Store is
the place to be in Boston during marathon weekend.  In true PUMA fashion,
we’re celebrating the world’s oldest marathon by giving local runners
the chance to try out our latest footwear, get some exercise, and most
importantly, give back.  From Friday, April 15th through Monday, April
18th, we’re inviting the public to run a mile (or two!) on a treadmill
set up in the front window of our Newbury Street storefront.  For
every mile logged, we’ll donate a pair of shoes and $100 to Soles4Souls,
an organization that provides shoes for those in need around the globe.
 Runners will get the opportunity to test out the new PUMA Faas,
our new range of lightweight running shoes inspired by Jamaica, the fastest
country in the world, and will receive a free limited edition marathon
t-shirt while supplies last.

April 15^th, 10 am-9 pm
