BOSTON, April 1, 2009 — Consistent advance training is the best way to prepare for the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge in Boston, and City Sports and adidas are teaming up to offer participants an outstanding, complimentary package that includes group runs, education and camaraderie.

Beginning on Tuesday, May 5, and continuing each Tuesday through June 23, representatives from City Sports and adidas will lead training runs of various distances from the City Sports location at 480 Boylston Street, barely a block from the Corporate Challenge starting line on Charles Street. The sessions — eight in total — will begin each Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Each gathering will begin with a presentation on running technology by adidas. Following the run, an adidas representative will be available for gait analysis and there will also be guest presentations on nutrition, stretching and other topics.

Those who attend the training sessions will have the opportunity to take advantage of special discounts on adidas products from City Sports. And, for those who want to truly get into the Corporate Challenge spirit of competition and camaraderie, each week City Sports and adidas will provide complimentary appetizers and a free beverage at the nearby Rattlesnake Bar & Grill.

There is no fee to participate in these training sessions, and no limits to the number of participants from your company. City Sports will provide a baggage storage area for attendees coming straight from work. If you have any additional questions specifically on the training sessions, email CCcaptains@citysports.com.

This is a great way to warm up for Boston’s favorite team road race in more ways than one. Registration is now open for the June 25 J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, and support is available at boston@jpmorganchasecc.com or (888) 767-7223.
