Observing sports economy from marathon running crew

Marathon is rapidly recovering all over the world and has become an international sports event that attracts people’s attention. Marathon running crew is a group of people who love long-distance running to train and run marathons together. Members of the running crew will train, encourage and support each other. They will hold regular group running activities, including long-distance running training, participating in various competitions and organizing social and charitable activities. These activities can not only promote the communication and friendship between team members, but also help to improve the overall long-distance running level and competitive ability of the team.

The global marathon has produced positive changes in the market demand for sports equipment.

In terms of footwear products, lightweight, shock absorption and comfort have become the key concerns in the design of running shoes. Runners are increasingly demanding the comfort of shoes and the protection of their feet, so sports brands are committed to providing more ergonomic designs and materials to ensure the comfort and safety during running. Different types of running routes and environments have also prompted sports brands to launch diversified product lines to meet different running needs.

Clothes with good air permeability, moisture absorption, perspiration and comfort are still what customers care about. By introducing new materials and techniques, sports brands optimize clothing design to provide clothing products that are more suitable for running. The concept of paying attention to environmental protection and sustainable development has also been fully reflected in the design of sports equipment.
