Shokz at the Expo
At the Boston Marathon Expo, the Shokz booth buzzed with excitement. Attendees got hands-on with the OpenRun Pro 2 Boston Marathon Co-branded Edition, experienced the comfort of our signature open-ear fit, and explored our latest product lineup.
Our complimentary laser engraving service—offering custom initials before the race, plus marathon finish times on race day—allowed every runner to mark their achievement and bring home a piece of Boston that's uniquely theirs.
Star Power at the Boston Marathon Panel
One of the most inspiring moments of the weekend unfolded on April 18 at the Boston Marathon panel, hosted by Ali on the Run's Alison Feller.
Shokz athlete Hellen Obiri was joined by Dakotah Popehn and Conner Mantz, two newly signed members of the Shokz family, for a meaningful conversation about resilience, growth, and the strength of the community. Their stories echoed the heartbeat of Boston, filled with grit, passion, and the sounds that carry us forward.
Celebrating Community in Every Step
Boston pulsed with Shokz-powered community energy all weekend. Together with our incredible partners, we kicked off the festivities with a series of community shakeout runs that brought together runners from around the world. As we ran through the streets of Boston, we saw the sights, sounds, and spirit of the city weaving through every stride, drawing us closer as a community in the rhythm of the run.
Meanwhile, at City Hall Plaza, Shokz brought the celebration to the Boston Fan Fest. With live entertainment, immersive brand activations, and daily high-energy engagement, we created shared moments that became unforgettable memories and made the Boston experience resonate louder than ever.
The weekend overflowed with moments that echoed the city's rhythm and captured the spirit of the race through every heartbeat and stride. From world-class performances to personal milestones, community runs to panel reflections—every heartbeat, cheer, and stride told a story.
Whether you were racing for a PR or cheering from the sidelines, we were honored to be part of your Boston story. Thank you for running open with us.
Until next year, Boston.
Feel the Shokz. Hear the Spirit. Meet the Moment.
