Injinji Fun Run

Ever wonder about those funky toe socks hanging on our walls? Curious to see how they feel between your toes? Well here’s your chance to test them out, because honestly runners, they feel like buttah!

Join us on Tuesday night, January 21st, for our Redondo Beach fun run and test out what Injinji has to offer! We have a couple dozen pairs to test out on the run and drumroll please….. to keep! Socks are on a first come, first served basis, so be sure to arrive early to get fitted!

**PLEASE RSVP so I can help give our Injiniji representative an accurate head count on how many socks to provide. This does not guarantee a pair of socks but will help in estimating them.** RSVP on our Facebook event page.

I’ve personally done some 10+ mile runs in Injinji run socks and came away blister free. Let’s see if it will work for you too!
