MUMBAI: Fastrack, India's iconic youth accessories brand has extended its association as the Presenting sponsor of The Music Run™, the fastest growing event in the mass running and entertainment space globally. Fastrack has joined hands with Baseline Ventures, the leading sports marketing firm and promoters of The Music Run™ in India, to hold the event across multiple cities including Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai.

Fastrack has always shared synergy with the young millennials as the brand’s DNA has innately been in line with self-expression and excitement, which aligns perfectly with The Music Run™. Through this association, Fastrack looks to bring out what comes naturally to this generation – to create and share; thus being part of a full blown experiential event. The inaugural edition of The Music Run™ held in Bangalore in 2016 was a huge success, with more than 7000 people turning out to share the experience and run, dance and party together. Dubbed ‘the ultimate 5k running and music festival’, The Music Run™ breaks through the crowded track of running events with an addictive combination of music and social engagement.

Speaking on this association Titan Watches and Accessories chief marketing officer Suparna Mitra said, “The response to last year’s association with The Music Run™ was tremendous. The event is a seamless blend of music and fitness, both of which are immensely popular amongst the youth. With this partnership, we will continue to make The Music Run go from strength to strength and we urge people to join in and be a part of this unique experience with Fastrack once again. We are extremely happy to be associating with The Music Run and are looking at taking this energy across multiple cities in India as a permanent fixture in the running and entertainment space."

“At Fastrack we have always believed in giving the millennials what they want and go beyond conventional boundaries to do so. Basis the overwhelming response received for The Music Run™ last year, this is the perfect platform to gather the millennials of India under one roof, giving them the experience of a lifetime. We look to create a sense of belonging by being the voice of the youth. Our partnership with The Music Run™ is an effort to celebrate this generation’s interest in fitness and their unquenchable thirst to have a good time.” stated Titan Company Limited head of marketing - Fastrack Ayushman Chiranewala.

Fastrack has been at the cutting edge of marketing trends over the last few years. We are happy that Fastrack has identified The Music Run™ as a platform that helps them connect with the two pillars of popular culture, fitness and entertainment.
