Kona Competitor Book

Kona_Book_Cover

At last year’s Ironman World Championships in Kona, the team from Newton Running was on hand cheering on all of the athletes who worked so hard to get there – especially the ones wearing Newtons! At our booth we set up a guestbook of sorts, inviting all the Newton athletes to share their thoughts before the race.

We also did our best to get pictures of as many people running the race in Newtons as possible. The end result is Newton’s 2009 Kona Competitor book – 40 pages of photos and quotes capturing the spirit of the race and the determination of the athletes. We’ve sent out these books to everyone at the race who shared their contact info with us, but we still have a handful left.

**NOTE: All books are now sent out, sorry if you missed out!**

  1. Hi
    Awesome idea and I would love to have a competitors book as I raced at Kona in my second pair of Distance Racers which I received the week of the race. I had no problem and shoes were great. I am now waiting for my third pair to use at Ironman South Africa. I am looking so forward to the run leg as my running times just keep tumbling the more I get use to my Newtons. I’ve been running with Newtons now for almost a year.
    Thanks for a great shoe.

    I bought my first pair of Newtons two weeks ago and LOVE them. I’m an avid triathlete and will be making a run to qualify for Kona 2012. I’d appreciate a copy of the new book.

    Cheers

    I bought my first pair of Newton just last week. I’m adjusting and correcting myself to run more efficient with it. I’m preparing for my first half ironman which is also my first triathlon. I’m inspired by the participants of Kona, I would love to get hold of a copy of the book to spire myself even more.

  14. Matt Smith says:

    I wouldn’t have made it through the marathon in Kona without my Newtons and the great support from the Newton team on the course! It was awesome to share the experience of a lifetime with a company you can call family! Can’t wait to see the book!
