Free Saucony Run4Good App Makes Everyone a Charity Runner

This September, in support of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, Saucony, Inc., is issuing a national challenge to runners everywhere to help reverse this trend: Download Saucony Run4Good™, the running industry’s first-ever iPhone app dedicated to battling childhood obesity … and go run. With every mile, runners will be earning money for community youth running programs, putting kids back on the fast track to health.

The Run4Good app is FREE, powerful, and personal. It is GPS-enabled to track your run, but what makes it different from other apps is that it allows you to join the fight against childhood obesity...without opening your wallet or entering a charity race. Simply do what you love to do--run. When a predetermined mileage goal is reached, Saucony will double its donation to selected youth running programs featured monthly, inspiring individual runners to both unite over their passion for running and combat the childhood obesity epidemic. The free app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or by going to saucony.com/run4good.

In the future, Saucony plans to invite the community to nominate and select future Run For Good grant winners. The brand also welcomes like-minded organizations and corporations to gain access to the Saucony Run4Good app, allowing their employees to join Saucony in the fight against childhood obesity.
