Saucony has unveiled THE MAZE ZE:RO HO:UR, its underground, invitation-only race series designed to bring together the communities that define modern running culture in a high-intensity test of instinct, endurance and adaptability.

THE MAZE is a competitive urban race experience built around unpredictability. With evolving rules and courses revealed only at the moment of competition, the series removes certainty from racing, challenging athletes to perform under pressure with limited information and no margin for error.

Following its debut in Paris last year, Saucony now brings THE MAZE to London and New York, expanding the concept onto a global stage.

The London race will bring together run clubs and running communities from across Europe to compete head-to-head in a fast-paced race format. THE MAZE ZE:RO HO:UR reflects Saucony’s belief that community is central to the future of running. By uniting local and international run crews in unfamiliar environments, the series creates a cultural exchange that celebrates the influence and energy of running communities in key global cities.

Among the teams battling it out are: Peckham Pacers, The Weekend Project, BRKEDOFF and Grove Lane (London), Embankment Run Club (Nottingham), MTF (Milan), COLLISION (Paris), BEAUBIEN (Toulouse), RUN-N-RAVE and FPC (Berlin), Mediocre Athletics Club (Oslo) and Aero Boys Club (Gothenburg).
