What is Salomon's proposal for "gravel running"?
Huynh Nam Running Club ♡ reports on his experience!

Gravel running is a new running style proposed by Salomon. What is the difference between this style of running, which runs seamlessly across all kinds of fields from uneven terrain in parks and riverbeds to well-developed asphalt, and ordinary running? To find out the truth, the ♡Huinamu Running Club held a group run on the theme of "gravel running. Based in "Touken," the group experienced the possibilities of this style of running while touring the sights and sounds of downtown East Tokyo.

Riding in parks and downtown to experience the power of gravel shoes!

Sumida Park is so lush that it is hard to believe it is in an urban area. Since we were there, we decided to go around the park in a circle.

There are small paths full of wildness and fluffy grass. You can enjoy the full potential of the "AeroGlide 3 Gravel" as you ride through the area.

After leaving Sumida Park, head toward Asakusa via the Sumida River Walk, a pedestrian-only bridge over the Sumida River.

The "Sumida River Walk" has many pedestrians and the path is narrow. Switch to walking mode.

After passing through the "Sumida River Walk" and crossing over to the other side of the river, we will start the run again. This is the second half of the course. We will head in the direction of Kaminarimon.

Passing in front of the Kaminarimon gate, which is crowded with tourists, we will again go to the promenade along the Sumida River.

Here is our last stop. We stopped at Parlors, a cafe in Bakuro-Yokoyama.

This café is one of the checkpoints for Salomon's limited-time "Tokyo Gravel" event themed on "gravel running. Salomon provided coffee to all participants in this group run as a special service. Thanks to Salomon's thoughtful arrangement, we were able to enjoy a cup of coffee with all the participants!

After enjoying delicious coffee at Parlor's, the runners headed straight for Toto Ken.

And the finish. We successfully completed a 10-kilometer group run, taking in the sights of downtown East Tokyo.
