ARC'TERYX TRAIL HUB YOYOGI

To safely enjoy the mountains, proper gear preparation is essential. At "ARC'TERYX TRAIL HUB YOYOGI," basic knowledge of trail running, such as how to choose gear and tie shoelaces, will be introduced through graphics and videos by illustrator Ruto Miyake. Additionally, to allow visitors to try what they've learned on the spot, Arc'teryx trail running shoes such as "SYLAN 2" and "NORVAN LD 4" will be available for try-on, offering an opportunity to run on the cross-country course in Yoyogi Park. This is the second domestic hub where Arc'teryx trail running products can be actually tried on.
Gear Up
Unlike road running in the city, trail running in the mountains, with its varied environment, requires essential gear for safe and comfortable running. In addition to shoes and apparel suitable for trails, items include lightweight vests for carrying essentials, sports tape to prevent injuries and reduce fatigue, a headlamp to be prepared even during the day, a flask bottle for quick hydration, a tenugui (Japanese towel) useful in emergencies, and energy food for efficient energy intake. Prepare and check each item before heading to the mountains.
Tying Shoelaces
To fit shoes to your feet, it's crucial to consider not only foot length but also foot width and instep height when fitting, and choose a pair that suits your feet. Furthermore, tying shoelaces correctly is an important point. "Double eyelet," where a loop is made and passed through the second hole, securely fastens the ankle, prevents the foot from shifting inside the shoe during descents, and makes the knot less likely to unravel. There are various other ways to tie laces, so find the method that suits you. When your shoes and feet become one, your running will change.
