Westin Hotels & Resorts, the hospitality brand known to help runners rise refreshed and keep their wellness routine while on the road, today announced a new series of training sessions designed to support those participating in the upcoming 2018 Shanghai, Guangzhou and Singapore International Marathons.
On weekends beginning today through early December 2018, Westin hotels in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Singapore will host indoor and outdoor run workouts for travelers and registered runners.
As one of the official sponsors for the Shanghai and Guangzhou International marathons, and an Accommodation Partner for Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon, Westin Hotels & Resorts continues to grow and evolve its programs and partnerships, addressing how wellness is integrated into consumers' lives through the brand's six pillars of Well-Being: Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well, and Play Well.
“Whether you're running for a sense of competition or community, Westin wants to inspire everyone to Move Well,” said Andy Kong, Director, Brand & Marketing, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. “As a leader in wellness, Westin understands how important exercise, eating well and quality sleep are important; and our collaboration with the Shanghai, Guangzhou and Singapore International Marathons is just one of the ways we strive to be a partner in our guests' well-being.”
Move Well with Westin
The training sessions, which will be held on weekends through early December at Westin hotels in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Singapore, will include outdoor and indoor themed runs, high-intensity interval training sessions and one low-impact water session at the hotel. The training sessions will be led by various established in-city running groups as training consultants, to design the weekly training programs to help runners prepare for the marathons, as well as each hotel's Run Concierge.
Today the brand boasts more than 225 Run Concierges globally, who host group runs and encourage runners of all levels to grab a runWESTIN™ map and explore their destination. In addition, Westin's Gear Lending program in partnership with New Balance® remains an industry game-changer, allowing guests to pack light and stay fit with New Balance shoes and clothing for guests to use during their stay.
