Puma's Sprint Your Halls Off

Today my company had Puma come in for a promotional event called Sprint Your Halls Off. Puma is trying to expand their brand even more from fashion to performance, hence the event. They came in, took over our hallway and set up a speed trap. We all, individually, ran down the hall in Puma kicks and clocked in our times. Top seven people with fastest speeds moved on to run for our company's average time (which they'll compare to other Boston-based companies to find out who holds the title of fastest). Being one of two females that actually participated, I automatically made it into the the group of seven, but sadly came in with a 14.3mph speed (everyone else came in with 15.7-17.6mph). Oh well! Good thing I do endurance, not speed! It was a fun time, and the Puma folks were great. Our video should be up next week (i'll post it) but to get a better sense of what it's about, here is their promo video:



And some pictures...


I think he's running fast!

hey cork! well we've already discussed but:

1) YES, this is what I do at work...it's pretty tough ;)

2) I guess Puma is trying to expand their market for performance/running shoes (when you think of puma, do you think of running or people wearing them as fashion?) - they're trying to get more people to think of their name when it comes to running. We ran in their sneakers during the event... from the 1/2 hour i wore them, I liked them, but that was only a 1/2 hour!
