On OCTOBER THE 5TH, WATCHO and Garmin joined forces for an unforgettable running event in Richmond, London! The WATCHO x GARMIN Richmond Park Run & Walk brought together a community of fitness enthusiasts and everyday runners, all motivated to push their limits, foster a spirit of healthy competition, and celebrate a balanced lifestyle. As we approach the end of the year, what better way to motivate ourselves than with an exciting event filled with prizes, fitness challenges, and a chance to be our best selves?

Setting the Scene: The Ultimate Run & Walk Experience

The event drew an eager crowd to our boutique, with participants arriving an hour early to sign up before heading to Richmond Park for their challenge. Each runner aimed to reach their personal best, with one goal in mind – the longest distance wins! And what an impressive turnout it was – the top two runners clocked a jaw-dropping 37 miles (60 km) and 33 miles (53 km) respectively! In total, the runners covered an astounding 258 miles (415 km) – equivalent to the distance from Euston to the Lake District!

This wasn’t just about the run; it was also about rewarding dedication! Our two longest-distance runners each won a Garmin watch and were treated to a relaxing post-run massage right at the boutique, courtesy of our wellness partners. But the fun didn’t stop there. Every participant had a chance to enter the Watch Lottery, sparking excitement as each winner took home a special prize from WATCHO, Garmin, and other local businesses.

Community Spirit & Local Support

Richmond’s vibrant community and local businesses came together to make this day extra special. Here’s a peek at what was on offer:

Free Gym Memberships: Every customer who made a purchase at the boutique was gifted a one-month gym membership from Majestic Fitness and David Lloyd.

Nutritional Boosts: Foods by Ann (Anna Lewandowska), Benjamin Buttons, and Primabiotic supplied runners with protein bars, collagen drinks, and natural food supplements to keep energy levels high.

Beauty and Wellness Treats: Partners like Me Pure Beauty Richmond and Simply Beauty of Chiswick delighted participants with beauty gifts, including complimentary pressure therapy and carboxytherapy sessions for the winners.

Stylish Apparel: Runners had the exclusive opportunity to try on activewear from LeMoon89 – blending fitness with style.

Our boutique was buzzing with energy, filled with lively music and exclusive experiences all day long. From warming up to winding down, the event was all about bringing people together for fitness and fun.

WATCHO celebrates not only traditional timepieces from Swiss and Japanese collections but also champions innovative, lifestyle-driven tech that enriches our lives. Garmin is at the forefront of this change, introducing smart watches that integrate seamlessly into daily routines, empowering our community to live healthier, more connected lives.
