Saucony Brings Together Global Running Crews For A High-Intensity Relay In Paris
28 February 2025
Last night Paris was alive with electrifying energy as THE MAZE, Saucony’s exclusive high-intensity relay race, brought together 13 running crews from across the globe for an unforgettable night of competition and community to celebrate the launch of the new Saucony Endorphin Elite 2, the brand’s next-generation super shoe.
Set in a multi-storey car park in République, the event pushed limits, tested endurance and celebrated the collective spirit of running.
The competition was followed by an after-party at the car park, where runners, friends and family celebrated an evening of grit, camaraderie and cultural exchange, true to Saucony’s mantra ‘RUN AS ONE’.
The event allowed the crews to test the Endorphin Elite 2 and other Endorphin styles. The Endorphin line is Saucony’s performance racing offering, and the Endorphin Elite 2 is its pinnacle.
The Endorphin Elite 2 helped the crews ‘OUTRUN LIMITS’, the perfect strapline for the latest evolution of the elite favourite. The revolutionary super shoe features all-new IncrediRUN™ foam.
