■ Origin and Philosophy of KIPRUN

The name KIPRUN was born from the cheer "KEEP RUNNING" that spectators sent to athletes at the New York City Marathon in 2007. Our goal is to support everyone to keep running, expand their potential, and grow. We aim to lower the "barrier (hurdle)" for all who love running and provide an environment where anyone can pursue their best performance.

■ Co-creation with Athletes Reaching the World's Peak

KIPRUN develops products with over 50 professional athletes. In April 2026, Mathieu Blanchard, a top runner leading the world of trail running, became a KIPRUN athlete. Along with existing top athletes such as Blandine L'Hirondel (2022 World Champion), real feedback from harsh fields is incorporated into the products.
