HALF RUNNERS
In 2019 female
participation in running was under indexing male in Spain. Then lots of
excuses. “Stats and figures didn’t show women not running races”. “Yes they do
but in a unorganized way”, etc.
Yes and no
and bullshit at the same time. Why the UK,
France, US, The Netherlands, and any other country you wanted to investigate
showed a more balanced scenario? Just taking
Barcelona Half Marathon 2018, female participation was only 17%. Enough.
A full plan
was articulated to break all the assumptions we had until then. A clear in your
face consumer deep dives were conducted to understand all the “why not’s?”
possible.
And for the
first time ever, real people like you and me were the faces of our project,
including a curated casting process, a nicely tuned content creation and a real
training and inspirational program to turn 21 real young women into Half
Marathon finishers and inspire, at the same time, hundreds of like-minded young
women to do the same.
Numbers
changed that same year and still to impact years to come. The legacy:
Half Runners. A group of female sports enthusiast that scream they are half
run, half fun. The best approach to inspire others moved by the same
motivations and lifestyle.
