    An exciting new social run event called #MovementRuns will take place in London on Thursday 24th May 2018, hosted by popular endurance runner Susie Chan and supported by Strava, ASICS, Intersport and Breathe Unity.

    Susie Chan ASIS#TheMovementRuns is the highly anticipated follow-up to Women Run Strong that Susie hosted in April 2017 and will follow a similar format, incorporating both a short run and an inspiring panel chat with some of the UK’s favourite runners.

    This year Susie will be joined by her running buddy and great friend Sophie Raworth, Founder of Run Mummy Run Leanne Davies and Ben Smith from The 401 Challenge. Together they will host a fantastic evening of fun, socialising and a lively panel discussion about life and running. Rebecca Richardson, MD of Breathe Unity PR, will be panel host for the evening and welcoming questions with Susie from the audience for the special panel of speakers.

    The event will take place at the ASICS flagship store on Oxford Street, London, and it is from here that all attendees are invited to join Susie, Sophie, Leanne and Ben for a relaxed 5K run in the local area. The group run was a huge hit at the original event last year, proving a great opportunity for guests to meet like-minded runners and the perfect complement to a session of running chat and inspiration.

    #MovementRuns aims to invigorate and empower runners wherever they are on their running journey. The evening will be split into two 1.5-hour sessions welcoming 25 runners, male and female. Free to attend, and with tickets to Women Run Strong selling out within an hour last year, it is expected that tickets will be snapped up quickly when booking opens on Eventbrite today.

    Full details for registration are below, and runners are encouraged to sign up quickly to what promises to be one of the most unique and uplifting events of the spring.
