The organisers of the award-winning National Running Show have confirmed that there will be a dedicated Intersport Zone at the event at Birmingham’s NEC on 19th-20th January 2019.
The leading sports retailer will host three main feature areas within the Intersport Zone: The Running Skills Theatre, The Test Track and Brilliant Shoe Discovery by SafeSize.
The Running Skills Theatre sponsored by Intersport (Stand K10) brings together some of the biggest names in running to help provide practical advice and inspiration for runners. Visitors can listen to a fantastic line-up of industry experts and receive practical advice that they can easily implement in order to improve their running. They will be able to ask all the running-related questions they have ever wanted to ask and learn the tips and tricks used by the professionals.
The Test Track sponsored by Intersport (Stand J20) is an exciting new feature enabling visitors to take part in track sessions with some of the leading brands in running, live at the show. Participants will be able to speak to major running brands directly and get active in fun, interactive track sessions.
As the global leader in shoe recommendation and fitting advice, SafeSize is sponsoring Brilliant Shoe Discovery (Stand H20). They will be offering an amazing personalised shoe fitting experience that makes shopping for shoes easy and fun. Visitors to the show can scan their feet and in just two seconds receive an accurate 3D Foot profile, which they match to their favourite sport in order to discover the perfect shoe for them. As any runner will know, choosing the correct footwear is of utmost importance and Brilliant Shoe Discovery is key to identifying individual needs.
Intersport is well known for its high levels of customer service and visitors to the Intersport Zone can look forward to chatting to their team of experts for advice and tips. In addition to the main feature areas, Intersport will be supporting brands including ASICS and New Balance and hosting an Ask the Experts area, where visitors will have the unique opportunity to book a 1-to-1 coaching session with some of the biggest names in running.
