Shokz Uniting Runners at London Marathon Expo

At the London Marathon Expo, Shokz's booth buzzed with activity as numerous partners and runners gathered. It was a chance for Shokz to reconnect with familiar faces and deepen relationships. Many marathon participants flocked to the Shokz booth to try on the latest headphones, selecting the perfect gear to power their run. Amidst the excitement, Shokz stood as a trusted ally, providing runners with the audio technology they needed to conquer the marathon course with confidence.

The Drive Behind the Distance

During the London Marathon, every runner encountered their own set of challenges, from muscle cramps to other physical and mental hurdles. With Shokz OpenRun Pro providing situational awareness, they stayed connected to their surroundings. Empowered by the seamless blend of music and reality, Shokz helped them in overcoming hurdles and staying motivated throughout the race.

"We had a lovely morning at the expo, got myself some Shokz headphones & just soaked in the atmosphere. Running in the London Marathon is one of the hardest but most amazing things I’ve ever done & having my family & friends there meant everything! Thanks to Shokz, I was able to stay motivated throughout the entire race with the music, all while remaining aware of the thousands of supporters cheering you on & shouting your name. There’s nothing like it. As I reached the finish line, I was a shell of myself towards the end, emotional, sore, tired, shaking, cold & even had blue lips! BUT it was all worth it to raise money for a charity that helps people like my Dad live as best of a life they can with such a debilitating disease." said Jade.

"That was by far one of the most INCREDIBLE experiences and biggest accomplishments of my life! I've truly always struggled with my self belief and have always underestimated myself. Wearing my Shokz OPENRUN PRO, honestly the comfiest ever, barely felt them, such incred sound quality but could still hear the crowds around me, and they didn't budge an inch! Got me through every mile! We did that! We ran those 26.2 miles! Turns out a year of HARD work and determination truly does pay off! Predicted 6hrs — did it in 5:18!!! "said Alice.

"I wouldn’t normally tackle an event in headphones and for long runs. Official policy for many events are no headphones so that you can hear announcements and be considerate of other runners… you also get the full experience of the atmosphere. However, Open ear headphones like Shokz are permitted as you get your music, but can still hear your surroundings. I popped them on, forgot they were there, and threw on some music for Canary Wharf for a little boost, while still enjoying the phenomenal crowds that gave me so much energy throughout."said Danny.

Amidst the rhythmic pounding of their footsteps, the energetic melodies through their Shokz headphones inspired them. Fueled by determination and support, they pressed on, persevering to reach the finish line. Their triumphs were a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
