Organiser's Description
THE CHALLENGE
Every four years, elite athletes from around the globe gather for a world-class event. Luckily, youre an amateur, so you have something even better: Summer GRIT presented by Asics and Believe in the Run, a world-class event that you can do in your own neighborhood.
Were back again with another edition of this sweat fest, and this time were going full tourist mode as we stamp our passports for a month in the city of love. Paris, here we come.
Set a distance goal for the month of July, grab your favorite fanny pack, and stroll/run through the streets of France. With five checkpoints along the route ranging from the famed Caf'e de Flore to the iconic Eiffel Tower, youre sure to find a mileage goal that will have you refueling with plenty of baguettes and Cherbundi (sponsor shout-out) along the way. However, if youre feeling good in your distance goals and your fuel levels are sound, go even farther, past the Parisian city limits and into the French countryside.
It will be hot, it will be competitive, it will be a challenge to stay in the race. But you can do it, as so many have before you.
As you check off each landmark, collect a badge to celebrate your achievement.
The swag is as good as ever its not French fashion, but it is a sweet custom singlet courtesy of Asics. Youll also receive an event sticker and other prizes to come.
Medals? Who needs em. We got epic prize packages from Asics and Running Warehouse, including weekly shoe giveaways and grand prize shopping sprees. We still like gold, which is why well also be giving out a handful of random golden tickets that will entitle lucky winners to a special prize surprise.
This time around, were still honoring the most ambitious tourists who go see the most of the city and climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower: two grand prizes (male and female) to the top elevation gainers for the month, and two grand prizes (male and female) to those with the most mileage for the month.
See you on tour!
