THE BROOKS BLOG

Join the Brooks Run Happy Group
10/31/2008 | Meredith

Hey, Brooks fans: we’re psyched to announce the launch of the new Brooks Run Happy Group!

Working with our friends over at Seattle-based fitness community site Sweat365, we’ve created the Brooks Run Happy Group as a place where you can connect with other runners and Brooks fans, blog about what makes you Run Happy, easily track your workouts, and join challenges for prizes!

Starting tomorrow (November 1), we’ll be offering monthly prizes of Brooks running shoes and apparel for the most miles run, the most calories burned, and the most hours exercised. (Yes, you’re on the honor system. But as Marion Jones reminded us on Oprah yesterday, cheaters never win!)

We hope you join us, and let us know what else you’d like to see. We’ll be launching more features and fun stuff soon.

Run Happy!

Brooks Gets Green Thumbs Up in Fitness
10/27/2008 | Tamara Hills

A popular magazine for active women, Fitness honors Brooks and our BioMoGo technology in its “Fit 50” feature.

Fitness magazine’s team of editors searched high and low for the 50 greatest people, places and breakthrough ideas that made 2008 the best year for your body yet. Look no further than #18 for a cheer to Brooks for introducing eco-friendlier BioMoGo in our running shoes.

What are the other 49? The “Fit 50” feature appears in the November/December issue of Fitness, on newsstands now.

Take a tour through our Green Room to delve deeper into BioMoGo and other sustainability efforts in the works at Brooks.

Check out the latest interview with 2008 Olympian (and Hansons-Brooks athlete) Brian Sell, over at The Cassidy Feed. Brian talks about how he balances running with family and work… how every day is “try to beat Sell day”… and why he thinks hard work and dedication trump natural talent.

Vegan Shoes (Or. . .Yes, Our Running Shoes Are Vegan, Too!)
10/14/2008 | Meredith

High-performance, responsive, plush, highly cushioned, supportive … these are some of the words that generally come to mind when we try to describe Brooks running shoes.

A little known fact: all Brooks running shoes meet vegan standards. (The one exception in the entire Brooks footwear line is the walking shoes.)
