➪ Shoe Demo: Try on the newest shoes from Asics
➪ Runner education: Talk from Dr. Ian Hardy from Proven Performance Physical Therapy
*Extra Mile fun run/walk uses the city pathways. We ask everyone to be mindful of the crosswalks, cars on the road and are familiar with the route. Anyone under the age of 12 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Vendors & Guests:
Asics
Pat from Asics will have demo pairs of the new Nimbus 28 for everyone to try during the run!
"The GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe is one of the most comfortable styles in the ASICS® running shoe range. Approximately 20g lighter than the previous version, this shoe continues to offer excellent cushioning to make running longer distances feel smoother.
The midsole features a combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and PureGEL® technology. These components help create a lightweight and soft cushioning experience that feels like you're landing on clouds.
The upper is constructed with an engineered knit material that softly wraps your feet and keeps them comfortable"
Proven Performance Physical Therapy
Dr. Ian Hardy - Clinic Owner, Coach, and Performance-Based Physical Therapist, DPT, CSCS, CF-L1
He will give a talk before the run!
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in various settings, spanning sports performance, sports orthopedic physical therapy, and hospital-based neurological care.
My unwavering commitment to excellence has driven me to invest countless hours in perfecting my craft, dedicating myself to extensive study and earning a comprehensive set of credentials in both sport performance and rehabilitation.
Recognizing the gap between traditional medicine and performance training, I identified the need for a distinctive approach. "Having experienced the shortcomings in traditional Physical Therapy, I was inspired to provide something extraordinary."
At Proven Performance Physical Therapy, I firmly believe that your potential deserves more than the ordinary. My mission is to bridge the gap between performance and traditional medicine, offering a personalized and distinctive approach to help you reach your peak performance and well-being.
I envisioned creating a space where athletes feel truly understood, not just told to abandon the activities they love without a justifiable reason.
