Looking back - a running recap of 2021
Our favourite moments from last year that made running possible for all of us.
We’re now back to full speed and ready for a new exciting year in front of us. But first, let’s take a look at our favourite moments from last year that made running possible for all of us. It’s a glimpse of 2021 showing a year full of fun events, fast races, interesting collabs, and product collections.
We want to thank you for being part of our valuable running tribe and spreading good vibes, support and passion to keep us all running out there - community is key.
RACING AGAIN
As the world opened up again, we were lucky to arrange some super cool events both locally and globally:
- The debut of SAYSKYRACE here in Copenhagen
- Saysky Sub Rosa Series for the first time in the US together with our retailer Heartbreak Hill
- The Architecture Run with Danish Architecture Center
COLLABORATIONS
Last year also included some interesting collaborations with brands and personalities:
- Troels Carlsen x SAYSKY - A collaboration with the Danish artist Troels Carlsen to celebrate art, running and the antiquity by inviting human creativity and personal expression into the running scene.
- To Øl x Saysky - Together with our Copenhagen beer-brewing friends from To Øl we crafted ØLECTROLYTE, a refreshing post-run beer with added electrolytes for better rehydration.
- Runners Coffee & Mug made together with Custom Coffee - We teamed up with our good friends from Custom Coffee to create the best coffee for all you badass runners that need an extra kick.
