Event summary

Join us on Thursday, April 20, 2023, in Flint, Genesee, for an exciting celebration of Earth Day at "Earth Day The New Balance Way!" This vibrant community event will feature a choice of engaging activities, including a scenic 3-mile and a challenging 5-mile route, perfect for both runners and walkers. For those looking to make an even bigger impact, we invite you to participate in "plogging," a fun combination of jogging and picking up litter. Participants in plogging will be provided with gloves and bags, and those who help clean up our community will have a chance to win gift cards to some of Flint's finest establishments!

As we enjoy the outdoors and promote sustainability, New Balance will keep the energy high with refreshing beverages and light snacks. Plus, don’t miss the chance to check out some of the latest footwear, including the Fuel Cell RebelV3 and the SC TrainerV2. While this event is free, we encourage you to register to ensure we have enough food and drinks for everyone. Let’s come together to celebrate our planet and support our community!

Organiser's description

Join us at our Flint location for our last demo run from this location. We are going to be celebrating Earth Day by running/walking with New Balance. We will have our 3 Mile route, our 5 Mile route, and for those that wanna go above and beyond we will have plogging.

Not sure what "PLOGGING" is? Plogging is the mix of jogging and picking up trash, the individuals who participate in this will be handed gloves and bags and will be encouraged to pick up trash along the way. Those individuals will then be entered into a drawing to win gift cards to some of Flints finest establishments. Help us help the planet and the community..

New Balance will be bringing out some beverages, light snacks and some sweet shoes, including the Fuel Cell RebelV3 and the SC TrainerV2.
