Organiser's description
Join us for an evening with Martinus Evans, founder of Slow AF Run Club. If you haven't heard his story or run in Saucony you'll get the opportunity to do both on Monday, June 3rd at 6:00 pm!
6:00 pm: Come grab your Saucony shoes to demo! We'll head out for a 20-30 min run and then hear from Martinus. Martinus Evans is the founder of the Slow AF Run Club, an online community built to inspire, educate and celebrate the grit and grind of runners at the back of the pack.
His personal journey began ten years ago, when his doctor called him fat and told him he needed to start walking to lose weight or die. Faced with the shame and stigma many people in larger bodies encounter, Martinus made the choice to stand up for himself and chart his own path. Screw walking, he said. Ill run a marathon.
Ten years later, Martinus has finished over 100 races (including 8 marathons), graced the cover of Runners World, is a proud Boston Marathon finisher, and is the recently-published author of Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run.
When hes not racing around the world, Martinus enjoys DJing and listening to music, watching movies with his wife Char, and playing fetch with his rescue dog Mabel. Whether youre a seasoned runner or new to adopting an active lifestyle, hes excited to welcome you to the Slow AF club on June 3rd!.
