Redtorch is working with World Athletics to launch an exciting lifestyle brand. ‘Personal Best’ kicks off with a new Instagram channel that connects the global running community.
Alex Ross, Business Director at Redtorch:
“Our goal is pretty simple: to get more people to run more often.
“It’s great to work with a global sports federation so keen to find ways of increasing the relevance of their sport beyond events and competitions.
“Our no 1 priority with Personal Best is to serve every runner, regardless of age, ability or commitment. You won’t see any elite competition content on this channel: whether you’re into professional running or not, this account is for you.
“This is an amazing project to be involved in, and aligns perfectly with our mission at Redtorch to make sport more relevant to more people.”
Personal Best will create a diverse community that provides a supportive environment for everyone, whether you’re new to running or have been running for years.
So – join the community, follow the new Personal Best Instagram account, and tag #ThisIsMyPB to feature!
