The 44th edition of the Gold Coast Marathon 2024 is a splendid festival for marathon enthusiasts, and Shokz is thrilled to have been the official headphone partner. During this grand event, Shokz not only presented an impressive booth but also sent a team of professional runners who completed the entire race with Shokz headphones on, indulging in the harmony of sports, sunshine, and music.

As part of the partnership, Shokz had this opportunity to be part of the marathon expo. The Shokz booth was abuzz with excitement, as visitors were amazed by the immersive acoustic experience of the cutting-edge open-ear bone conduction headphones.
Additionally, onlookers marveled at the OpenSwim Pro, elegantly submerged in the water tank, and posed for photos alongside life-sized standees of star athletes. This engaging and entertaining experience was Shokz's gift to the GCM community.
Let's hear the Shokz Team
Besides the booth, Shokz also support runners on their journey to the finish line.
This year, we assembled a remarkable Shokz Team consisting of dedicated runners, each equipped with our latest Shokz headphones. They showcased not only their endurance but also the power of our innovative open-ear acoustic technology, which allows them to stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying their favourite tunes.
Here is how the headphones enhanced the Shokz Team’s running experience!
@calebsadler：The thing I love most about wearing the shokz in the marathon is the ability to be able to both experience the atmosphere around me while also being able to listen to my music and get in my zone.
@kylie_loves2run：The Shokz definitely gave me lots of energy and helped me get to the finish line. The ear pieces are very comfortable and lightweight for a 4 hour run and the sound quality is top notch.
@fredgotfit1386: ..This was my 5th marathon, all with Shokz and I would not dream of running a marathon without them! They are Great as you can hear the crowd support and music playing on course, but they also give you the boost and energy needed on any quiet parts of the course. With the extra bass and battery life...with my legs failing on me at the 38th kilometre, I knew my Shokz would not.
@mummy_anderson_life: Thanks to my OpenRun Pro Mini they got me through hours and weeks of training to complete my first half marathon on the Gold Coast. Through the wind and rain they have never skipped a beat.
