New Balance Activates Grassroots Campaign At London Marathon
At this year’s TCS London Marathon, New Balance brings the ‘Run Your Way’ campaign to life through a grassroots approach. Acknowledging that local running communities reach and support runners with true authenticity, New Balance serves the mission of ‘Run Your Way’ by building the power of these groups that serve their individual community and featuring their leaders in this year’s campaign imagery.
Officially launched in 2023, ‘Run Your Way’ is all about supporting the individuality of all who run, by removing running stereotypes and encouraging everyone around the world to run their own way. The campaign aims to promote an inclusive, positive, and uplifting running environment for all – no matter how you run.
Recognizing that community is at the heart of today’s running culture, at this year’s TCS London Marathon, New Balance has partnered with eight London running communities based on their authentic connection to ‘Run Your Way’, sharing the mission to promote an uplifting environment around running ahead of this year’s Marathon and beyond.

Erica Tappin, New Balance Head of Global Marketing for Running, said: “Run Your Way is truly about celebrating everyone’s individual reasons for running, and nobody embodies this more than our community runners. We’re proud to be supporting some amazing communities across the UK, and we hope that sharing their stories will inspire many more people to get running.”
