With the Virgin London Marathon only a few days away, athletes and visitors going to the Expo will have a chance to buy the official adidas Virgin London Marathon kit. Right after the collection of race numbers, bags and chips, the adidas stand will be full to bursting with great kit to remind athletes of the big day.
The 25 piece range range includes technical t-shirts, jacket, shorts and leggings. Whether you’re a first timer or a seasoned runner the official range offers both comfort and style. When going the distance the kit you are wearing can make all the difference. The adidas VLM apparel range houses unique, inbuilt technologies such as CLIMACOOL® ventilation and FORMOTION™ muscle support to help keep you cool, dry and comfortable when it matters most.
The kit will also be available online from 26th April at www.londonmarathonstore.com/.
Mike Clyne (pictured here wearing some of his official adidas Virgin London Marathon kit) said "I have been racing and training in my adidas VLM kit now for a couple of months. Every piece of kit that I have worn has been both comfortable and practical. Whether it be the long sleeve fleece to keep me warm before and after a run, the jacket to keep out a chill wind, the shorts to ensure chafing free running or the CLIMACOOL® tshirt to wear on race day there is something for all of my running needs. Now all I need is to find a couple of gifts for those who have supported me in my training and preparation for 17th April."
