“Run with Suominen” is here again: Early birds get together for a morning run or walk in Boston, MA, in connection with IDEA2016. Runners and walkers can meet at 7 a.m. Tuesday and Wednesday for a 5K tour of Boston. The routes selected for Boston will bring participants to some of the finest spots in the city, according to organizers. They will see the home of the Boston tea party, the famous Rose Kennedy Parkway and the Boston Harbor.
The very first Run with Suominen event was held in September 2014 in Barcelona during EDANA's Outlook 2014. Since then, runners wearing colorful Suominen t-shirts have been seen across the world--by individuals in marathons in Italy, Spain and Switzerland, training for a boxing event in the Netherlands, and trail runs in Finland and France.
“The event consists of early morning get-together in the form of energizing physical exercise. Guests can choose to run or take a brisk walk - so there's always an option for everybody. The idea of the event is to meet customers and other business partners in a very unformal manner and share the pleasure of getting a fresh start for the day,” says Saara Söderberg, vice president for marketing and product management at Suominen.
“We have had several events across the world; by the sea, through suburbs and historical sights, over and around hills. One can guess we’ve experienced also different weather conditions…We’ve run through both hot and briskly cold mornings and once even in torrential rain - which turned one of our past events almost to Swim with Suominen," she adds.
“All in all, the events have always been much appreciated by the participants. Some guests have participated from the very first event and thus already have a collection of Suominen t-shirts! And every time we have organized Run with Suominen event, the group of people increases with new faces.”
