DFW Tweetup Recap
Our friends Lee and Isis Hargrave, a.k.a. The Running Couple, organized a fabulous event last week at Luke’s Locker in Dallas! One of our Dallas dealers, Fitness HQ provided a Landice Executive Trainer treadmill for runners to test out at the event. Luke’s Locker shoe guru, Duncan, provided some awesome insight into how to select the best shoes for your feet. Here is a recap of the event from The Running Couple. Enjoy!
The group at the DFW Tweetup
Our favorite things about running are the community and the culture surrounding the sport. With the increased adoption of social media among professional and weekend runners, we wanted to organize an event to combine the two. After discussing our idea with some really great companies…the #runDFWtweetup was born! We were excited to be able to organize the first tweetup in DFW targeted towards runners and athletes.
On January 27th, 28 runners/athletes from around the DFW metroplex met up at Luke’s Locker . All runners were entered in a drawing for some great giveaways and handed our favorite recovery drink, Athletes Honey Milk . Everyone then had a chance to walk around Luke’s Locker and check out their extensive selection of quality running gear. Luke’s offered all participants 15% off any purchase that night and several took advantage of such a great deal. Attendees were able to take a spin on an awesome treadmill supplied by Landice and have their gait analyzed. Luke’s Locker shoe guru, Duncan, was on hand to answer any questions and gave a presentation about the current running shoe options and how a proper shoe-fitting was conducted.
Then it was time for some giveaways! Landice gave t-shirts to all attendees and entered everyone into their L7 Pro Sports Trainer Treadmill giveaway contest. Athletes Honey Milk supplied free samples to all, gave away 4 cases of their product, and is supplying everyone with a great coupon code for their website. Luke’s gave away a $50 gift certificate and gave everyone $10 in Luke’s Bucks that can be used for their next visit. After the event wrapped up, some of us decided to head across the street to Snookies for some food and a little more conversation.
We really enjoyed the opportunity to meet up with some great runners from around DFW and even Louisiana. We want to thank our great sponsors, Luke’s Locker, Athletes Honey Milk, and Landice for making this event a possibility. We have received a lot of positive feedback from this tweetup and realize that the running community is interested in these events. Cowtown runners…we are already working on something for you!
