Seattle Cherry Blossom Run
Seattle, Washington
Saturday, March 25: 5K run
Sunday, March 26: Half Marathon
The Cherry Blossom Run, sponsored by the UW and the UW Botanical Gardens and with around 6,000 runners over two days of racing, has one of the sweetest race shirt designs ever. Trust us! The shirt is based on the University of Washington’s famous cherry trees. As you know the Quad at UW is home to some of the oldest and most beautiful yoshino cherry blossom displays you'll ever see. More than 100 other cherry tree varieties grow in other locations on campus.
You’ll find the Vimazi tent near the finish line on both Saturday and Sunday. All races finish on the UW campus not far from the Quad that will be filled with blooming cherry trees. The Vimazi Z20 and Z30 should be launching in March, and we’re sure to have our coming trail shoes on hand.
As of early February, these local stores plan to carry at least some Vimazi models. Give them some love!

Missoula Marathon
Missoula, Montana
Friday and Saturday, June 23-24: Race Expo and 5K run

Why run the Missoula Marathon? Because it’s flat, fast, USATF certified, and a Boston Qualifier. It’s also insanely beautiful. The course is point-to-point, beginning with a scenic route through the countryside and finishing in historic downtown Missoula. Usually about 5,000 runners participate.
Find the Vimazi tent at the race expo on Friday and Saturday. Chances are good that we will have launched the Vimazi Trail Z2 and Trail Z3. Excellent timing to have trail shoes for Missoula! Stop by to check them out, along with our other eight pace-tuned models.

This iconic race tours San Francisco and even crosses the Golden Gate Bridge. Definitely a bucket list marathon if there was one. Who knows if you’ll run in fog or sun, but the hills on the course are a certainty. Lots of spectators to follow the estimated 25,000 runners. The Full Marathon course is USATF certified and a Boston Marathon and Olympic Time Trials qualifying race.
Stop by the Vimazi tent at the race expo on Friday and Saturday. We’ll have a few shoes for sale, so get there early to make sure we have your model and size.
We hope to have a local retailer ready to go in July. If you have a Bay Area connection, let us know. It's also very helpful if you ask your running shoe store to carry Vimazi.
