SF Marathon Runners Find There Is Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself, With Support of DHgate.com Running Equipment

Online, August 4, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Beijing, China - DHgate.com buyers have seen a sales spike and outstanding returns on sales of running equipment sourced through the leading China wholesale trading platform since the start of the San Francisco (SF) Marathon.

Popular running equipment items available through the leading China wholesale trading platform include:
• Men's and ladies' running shoes, starting at US$4.01 per piece
• Popular 'Five Finger' style running shoes, starting at US$7.32 per pair
• Sports sunglasses, starting at US$6.79 per pair

The SF Marathon is known as "the race that even marathoners fear", with courses more grueling than either the New York or Chicago marathons. Registration is only open to those that can complete the full 26-mile course in under 6 hours. Alyshia Davies won this year's San Francisco Marathon, after dropping to 130 pounds from 277 pounds only 2 years ago.

"Just to complete the San Francisco Marathon is a major achievement that depends on the interplay of several very important factors. The equipment that a runner uses is vital to their success - no matter how hard they train, poor equipment will let them down," said James He of DHgate.com.

"We were pleased to hear that running equipment sourced from DHgate.com was actually helping people complete the marathon. We've known for a while that low prices can certainly equate to high quality on DHgate.com's China wholesale trading platform, this helps to prove it," Mr. He continued.

"The volume of sales indicates that it wasn't only SF Marathon entrants searching for low-priced and high quality running gear, but also people at home inspired by the marathon runners' accomplishments," Mr. He finished.
