THE MAZE: Saucony celebrates the launch of the new Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 by bringing together running crews from around the world in Paris for an epic relay race.
The power of Paris…
Last night Paris lit up with overwhelming energy with THE MAZE, Saucony’s exclusive high-intensity relay race, bringing together 13 running crews from around the world for an unforgettable night of competition and community, celebrating the launch of the new Saucony Endorphin Elite 2, the brand’s next-generation super shoes.
Running at République
Set in a multi-story parking garage in République, the event pushed the limits, tested endurance, and celebrated the collective spirit of running. After the competition, runners, along with friends and family, continued the festivities with an after-party in the same parking lot, experiencing an evening of determination, conviviality, and cultural exchange, in perfect tune with Saucony’s mantra: “RUN AS ONE.”

Endorphin Elite 2, the test
The event gave running crews the opportunity to test the Endorphin Elite 2 and other models in the Endorphin line. The latter represents Saucony’s flagship offering for high-performance competition, with the Endorphin Elite 2 being the ultimate expression of innovation and speed.
“Outrun limits”
The Endorphin Elite 2 has helped running crews push the limits. “Outrun limits” is the perfect slogan for the latest evolution of the shoe favored by elite athletes. This revolutionary super shoe features the all-new IncrediRUN™ foam. A cutting-edge technology that delivers exceptional energy return and cushioning, allowing runners to reach their full potential.
199 grams of pure energy
Designed with input from runners who shape the scene. The Endorphin Elite 2 weighs just 199 grams and incorporates a full-length carbon plate. A lightweight and breathable upper, plus SpeedRoll™ technology designed to propel runners forward with maximum fluidity.
The strength of the group
THE MAZE showcased epic races and highlighted the global community of runners pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As Saucony continues to innovate, events like this are a testament to the brand’s commitment to speed, style, and the ever-growing culture of community running.
“RUN AS ONE” around the world
THE MAZE was more than an elite competition. It was a celebration of the friendships, dedication and inclusive spirit that characterize the crews who lace up their shoes for “RUN AS ONE” wherever they are in the world.
