Supporting the seventh annual celebration of National Running Day on Wednesday 3 June, Motigo, Nuun and C Tolle Run are ‘going the extra mile in their commitment to the running community.’ Utilizing the Motigo iOS app, which encourages participation, collaboration and motivation, Nuun and C Tolle Run will be broadcasting their own gratitude and encouragement to all of their National Running Day participants.
Each company has created their own free Virtual Group Run, offering an avenue for their fans and the general running community to interact with them on National Running Day.
National Running Day is seen as a chance to bring people together to inspire and promote the many benefits of running. Working together to celebrate and promote the day, Nuun and C Tolle Run have enlisted Motigo to record and share their own unique audio messages with their constituents, as well as enable them to cheer for each other throughout the day.
Motigo is a free app whose personalized audio messaging creates a connection between runners and supporters via personal, pre-recorded audio messages, which runners automatically hear during their event.
Motigo is celebrating the day by enabling brands to create free virtual running experiences, giving brands and athletes the ability to engage with, inspire, and speak directly to their fans and supporters, all while promoting the people and the sport in which their success is rooted.
“Motigo’s ultimate dream is to provide inspiration and motivation to runners everywhere. We are thrilled to partner with both Nuun and C Tolle Run, and allow them to interact with their runners on National Running Day,” said Motigo co-founder Celeste Lo.
“This is an incredible brand collaboration and a unique chance to give back to the running community,” she added. “At our core, Motigo is committed to providing the best tools for the optimal race day experience by dispensing ‘emotional fuel’. Going forward we’re thrilled to be able to help brands, athletes and events create more personalized run experiences, thereby establishing powerful, lasting connections with their audiences.”
Nuun Running Day
Nuun, a top-selling electrolyte sports drink tablet in run, bike and outdoor specialty stores, is sponsoring National Running Day through Nuun Running Day – A Virtual Run Experience powered by Motigo. Offering a 5K distance for runners, Nuun is inviting its ambassador team to participate on 3-7 June, as well as encourage any/all fans to download Motigo (all of whom will receive a free one week Motigo subscription). Following Motigo sign-up, Nuun personalities will leave encouraging messages for their followers and friends.
Nuun CEO, Kevin Rutherford said, “This is one of the most personal approaches in connecting innovation to both the runner’s passion and their closest supporters. The Motigo platform allows us to connect in a unique and very meaningful way. National Running Day is a perfect occasion for Nuun to celebrate not only the sport, but everyone who is constantly pounding the pavement in pursuit of their own personal best.”
C Tolle FUN Run
C Tolle Run, a weekly show about running and fitness hosted by Olympian Carrie Tollefson, will be participating in National Running Day by encouraging fans to participate in the C Tolle FUN Run (5K). By downloading Motigo and running between 3-7 June, C Tolle Run fans will get a unique audio experience with Carrie’s inspiring voice messages encouraging them throughout their run.
All C Tolle Run fans who participate can also use Motigo to leave personalized messages for each other, enhancing the virtual running experience for everyone involved.
“C Tolle Run is passionate about any opportunity to interact with our running community, fans and supporters and can’t think of a better way to do that than through National Running Day and this exciting collaboration, including our C Tolle FUN Run and the Motigo cheering platform,” said Host and Olympian, Carrie Tollefson.
The power of National Running Day is seen to be its way of bringing people together to celebrate what running ultimately means to them. Motigo’s collaboration with both Nuun and C Tolle Run is also reflective of the ethos of National Running Day, by ‘helping brands personally engage with their most ardent supporters, and ensuring they can communicate directly to the people who mean the most to their success.’
