Shokz Athlete
Champion's Choice
I've been using Shokz for the past five years. Their open-ear design lets me stay motivated with music while staying safe outdoors.
— Eilish McColgan
Eilish finished third at last year's AJ Bell Great North Run. Earlier this year, she broke the European 10K record with a time of 30:08 at the Valencia 10K Ibercaja. Shokz open-ear headphones have been a key part of her training since 2019, helping her stay motivated with music while remaining aware of the world around her.
I Could Hear the Crowd Cheering
During races,
I could hear the crowd cheering, stay aware of my surroundings, and keep going through the quieter stretches of the course.
— Gian
Since 2020, Shokz headphones have supported Gian through both training and racing, whether virtual or in-person. He raised money during his first in-person marathon in Brighton and earned a Guinness World Records certificate for taking part in the virtual 2020 London Marathon.
Miles of Healing: Running Through
Grief and Motherhood
Every finish line is a reminder of how far I've come,
not just as a runner,
but as a woman who rebuilt her life from the ground up.
— Amy
After an infertility diagnosis, Amy turned to running and discovered a new purpose. From her first 5K to ultramarathons, the sport showed her that her body is defined not by what it cannot do, but by everything it can.
Redefining Strength:
Celebrating the Life I Chose
The marathon taught me to face my fears and step outside of my comfort zone in order to grow.
— Nikita
After years away from running, Nikita returned to the sport to cope with grief and manage her ADHD. Despite a pre-race stress fracture, she completed the London Marathon, where a tribute to her late cousin became one of the race's most emotional moments.
