What are your favorites?
I love that New Balance ad with your average runners out on the track in the morning. A blog I read just posted what looks like a longer version of it, which made me happy

I'll try to find some of my other favorite running/sports ones on You Tube or Google vid and post.

I like that one a lot, too.
I like the Gatorade Rain commercials even though they aren't strictly running.

Dunno. Most commercials I see involving runners are for banks, investment frims and the like. Aside from Nike, you see hardly any promoting shoes and gear.
I've never seen the NB one you're talking about,

The rain ones are the ones where people come out of hte ball and stuff, right? Gatorade has some solid commercials. There is one for AOL right now which has average athletes competing in competition like speed skating, rowing, etc. It's pretty funny.
Gretriever, check out the link in my first post, the NEw Balance ad is on that blog on the side. That one is still my fav, the tag line is something like "For Love or Money?" - I know I'm not getting paid to run, so it must be the love - lol!

I just found mention of it on another running site for you too Gretriever - http://www.marathonguide.com/ I like it b/c it's not totally branded out the way some other sports commercials are and isn't all about famous people. You guys can't see me, but I am CLEARLY no FloJo, haha. 
Anyone have a good running song? I like running to OutKast, the beat is so fast I don't even realize how fast I get going sometimes. B.O.B. is good, and who doesn't like Hey Ya??

Yah i have like 4 or 5 of them loop in a row. I think they are pretty cool. I love how New Balance focuses on people who just love to run.
You can right click on them and view them in full screen. Upload speed is impressive if you ask me.

I agree with you - I like that they focus on the average runner, not some super cut, high paid athlete.

Then I like the NB take better than "sponsored by highly athlete who is doing this for a big contract"
