Moving Comfort, industry leader in women’s-specific sports bras and fitness apparel, is proud to announce that the company has been named the ‘Official Sports Bra’ of the popular Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and ½ Marathon Series. This multi-year partnership kicks off with the inaugural Rock ‘n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon and ½ Marathon in New Orleans, February 28, 2010. Brooks® Sports Inc., the parent company of Moving Comfort, will be the footwear and apparel partner for Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and ½ Marathon Series, producing the official licensed merchandise for all races as of February 1, 2010.

“Moving Comfort believes that a fit woman is a powerful woman and with over half of the participants being female, we’re thrilled to partner with the Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon series,” says Julie Baxter, Vice President of Moving Comfort. “We view sports bras as essential, technical equipment for active women. No one understands this more than the woman running a marathon.”
