Ghisallo Running Named Newton Running Retailer of the Year!

Ghisallo Running was named Newton Running Retailer of the Year at a special awards ceremony at the Newton Running Summit in Boulder, CO on Aug. 9!. Presenting the award was Jerry Lee - President and Danny Abshire - co founder and Chief Design Guru of Newton Running. Jim Hixson and Doug Pohlman accepted the award on behalf of Ghisallo. Previously that day, both had the opportunity to meet Craig Alexander and Zola Budd. Craig won Hawaii Ironman in 2008 and repeated this victory in 2009 - running in Newtons! Zola, former South African Olympian, is a strong proponent of natural/mimimalist running. Jim and Doug enjoyed the sights of Boulder as well as the perfect running weather and trails that Boulder has to offer. They also had the chance to run in the new Newton trail shoe. These shoes are designed for off road running. They will be available in mid-September and will continue in the Newton tradition of noticeable colors.
