ASICS Corp will serve as principal sponsor the ING New York City
Marathon for the nineth consecutive year. As the principal sponsor,
ASICS will again host the largest vendor
booth at the three-day ING New York City Health and Fitness Expo and
outfit more than 16,000 race volunteers.
Measuring 19,100 square feet, the ASICS booth will be the main location
to get the officially licensed ING New York City Marathon merchandise
including the ultra popular Marathon 5 Borough Glove. A full range of
ASICS footwear, accessories and apparel will also be available
including the debut of the new GEL-Kinsei 2 running shoe.
“ASICS is proud to sponsor the ING New York City Marathon for the ninth
year,” states Seiho Gohashi, CEO and Chairman of ASICS America
Corporation. “As the most prestigious event in running and the world's
largest marathon, it's the quintessential road race for ASICS to be
associated with. And, with our commitment to promoting and encouraging
a healthy and active way of life, it's always a thrill for us to watch
the over 38,000 participants from all 50 states and over 100 countries
cross the finish line in Central Park.”
The race, drawing more than 93,000 applicants annually, is being run on November 4.
