Apple is getting ready for the big London Marathon on April 26 by setting up a few free events for runners and fans. The tech company recently became an official partner for the event. To celebrate the new partnership, it decided to host special talks and activities at its Brompton Road retail store.
Anyone looking for some extra motivation or last-minute tips can stop by and hear from fitness experts before Sunday arrives.
The company offers free expert panels and runs before race day
The schedule kicks off on Thursday with an inspiration panel featuring popular fitness coach Joe Wicks and other well-known athletes. A trainer from Apple Fitness+ will host the session to share helpful training advice.
After the experts finish talking, the group will head outside for a short five-kilometer run through Hyde Park. Spots are limited, so interested runners need to sign up online early to grab a place.
Another event takes place on Saturday, right before the marathon. Former world champion Paula Radcliffe and Olympian Chris Thompson will visit the store to record a live episode of their running podcast. The two athletes plan to discuss race day mindset and how technology helps runners prepare for long distances.
Apple hopes these free gatherings will bring the community together and help everyone feel ready for Sunday.
