Balega Challenges Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Attendees to a #BalegaTracks Steps Challenge

Durham, N.C. (July 28, 2016)  Balega International, a leading performance sock brand in the run and outdoor specialty market, announces its #BalegaTracks Steps Challenge, created to encourage attendees of Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2016 to count their steps for prizes. Daily Instagram winners who tag #BalegaTracks will be awarded prize packages from Balega brand partners. Designed to add a fun component to the long days at the show, the challenge begins Wednesday, August 3 at 9:00 a.m.

“We wanted to create a fun incentive to reward Outdoor Retailer attendees for all of their walking through the duration of the trade show. It’s no doubt that most people log a surprising number of miles each day, so we thought, why not add a challenge to make this mundane aspect of the show more interesting,” said Tanya Pictor, Vice President of Marketing, Implus Specialty Retail Brands. “Balega offers socks that keep people comfortable mile after mile, which makes this contest a perfect opportunity to showcase the importance of wearing quality products when it really matters.”

All posts using the hashtag #BalegaTracks from 9:00 a.m. MST on August 3 until Friday, August 5 at 6:00 p.m. MST count as an entry. There is no limit to the number of times participants can post, and each post counts as a new entry. Whether you’re walking to and from the main show floor, going out for an early morning run, or heading to a happy hour or dinner in downtown Salt Lake City, Balega wants to see all of your photos highlighting your steps walked.

Daily winners with creative Instagram posts will be awarded gift packages valued at over $200 from Sof SoleTrigger PointFuelBeltYaktrax and DryGuy. Winners will be shipped their prizes within two weeks following Outdoor Retailer.

About

Growing up in Colorado you can't help but love the outdoors. Something magical happens with 300 days of sunshine and the Rocky Mountains in your back yard. My athletic endeavors started on the bike, I would get out and ride whenever I could. In 2011 I moved to Oxford, England for work. I missed the sunshine and mountains, but discovered my passion for running. When I moved back to Colorado I started combining cycling and running, so it was only natural that I started competing in triathlons. I took second place at my first sprint, and caught the bug. Today I'm training for my fourth Ironman.
