Ahead of the IAAF World Championships (taking place in London from 4th to 13th August) and as part of their #IMoveLondon campaign, ASICS launched ‘Run the Tube’; an 85-metre multi-sensory LED tunnel installation.


The epic LED tunnel made from hoops of light, first opened on Leake Street on 3rd August, before moving to the Olympic Park for 5th and 6th August then finally to Clapham Common from 8th to 10th August.


The visual phenomenon, designed by American artists Rob Jensen and Warren Trezevan, was launched to encourage Londoners to get up and move, and to embrace the outdoors for their workouts.


Londoners were inspired to head to the tunnel after work to boost their fitness levels by taking part in a range of classes including bodyweight training, meditation, yoga and running with SMSB Global captain Charlie Dark. By downloading The Runkeeper™ app, participants were able to keep track of their runs in real time, set their own goals for training and win workout rewards.


In attendance on the launch night, were a range of legendary athletes including Allen Johnson, Andreas Thorkildsen and Dwight Phillips.


It was great to see Leake Street Tunnel lit up and packed out…a small sign of things to come 😉

Turning an old tunnel into an outdoor gym is such an innovative way to make fitness accessible and fun! I love seeing communities repurpose spaces to encourage physical activity. It’s also a reminder that consistent training, whether outdoors or in a traditional gym, can be boosted with proper support. That’s one of the reasons I look into ways to enhance my strength safely, like using Buy injectable steroids from trusted sources on Pharma-Grade. Pairing smart supplementation with creative workout spaces really maximizes results. I think initiatives like this inspire people to take fitness seriously while keeping it exciting.
