We would like to thank Karhu Sportswear for donating over 350 pairs of their running shoes from last quarter. These shoes will be given out during our trip to Santiago, Chile next January.

About Karhu Running Shoes

Karhu is a Finnish sports brand that markets running shoes, sportswear, and skiing and other sports equipment in Finland and abroad. Karhu’s main line of running shoes is based on their “Fulcrum Technology”, which has been developed in cooperation with the University of Jyväskylä since the 1980s. The line includes several models for both men and women, intended to suit different types of pronation and training or racing needs. Karhu does not produce off-road or trail running shoes.

In 2009, the Karhu Fulcrum Strong model of running shoe was awarded “Best Debut” by Runner’s World magazine.

The Karhu brand has also been used for a line of casual shoes called Karhu Originals. Karhu Originals are a range of retro inspired footwear, which were nominated for “Sneaker of the Year 2005″ at the Global Sports Style Awards in Munich in 2005.
