A letter from Anton Gonzales of Planet Sports:

Greetings from your family at New Balance. We were intending to stage our Power Run on November 7 but have decided to move the date to 20 February 2011. This is to pave the way for the exciting introductions of our 2011 footwear and apparel line as we aim to relate the dates of our product releases with our big runs on a regional basis. We will be present as sponsor in some of the big races in the next few months. Thank you.

Run Happy,

Anton Gonzalez
