Happiness. Fresh air. Records. There are myriad reasons why runners of every level choose to put one foot in front of the other. So, we posed a simple question to real people, all over the world. “Why do you run?” Their answers were simple, yet profound. Human truths that became a powerful message to our audience: There are many reasons to run, and a GPS smartwatch that’s perfect for all of them. The Garmin Forerunner®.
