What Is Monthly Miles?
Monthly Miles is our regular community run and walk series at Athletic Annex, and this month we are joined by Puma. It is an easy way to move together as a group, meet other local runners and walkers, and get a firsthand look at new gear before you decide what belongs in your rotation.
Who This Event Is For
Monthly Miles with Puma is open to everyone, whether you run, walk, or do a mix of both. We will have multiple pace groups so you can go at whatever effort feels right for you that evening. There is no minimum experience level and no pressure to keep up with anyone else in the group.
Featuring Puma
Meet the Puma Deviate Pure Nitro
A Puma representative will be on-site with the Deviate Pure Nitro ($149.95) available to try on and take home the same night. Whether you are curious about a new daily trainer or want to compare it to what you currently run in, our staff and the Puma team will be on hand to help you find the right fit.
What to Expect
We will gather at the Nora store at 6:00 PM for a quick welcome before heading out on a flat, paved out-and-back route. The group covers the route in about 30 minutes, so there is plenty of time to ease in at your own pace, whether that means running, walking, or something in between.
Once everyone is back, we will keep the evening going until 8:00 PM with food, drinks, and a DJ. It is a good chance to relax, talk with other Athletic Annex regulars, and spend more time with the Deviate Pure Nitro if you did not get to try it before heading out.
What to Bring
- Running or walking shoes you are comfortable moving in
- Weather-appropriate apparel for a September evening in Indiana
- Water if you tend to want it beyond what we provide on-site
Gear note
Trying the Deviate Pure Nitro
You do not need to switch shoes to join the group. Come as you are in your usual pair, and stop by the Puma setup before or after the run or walk to try the Deviate Pure Nitro at your own pace.
