LONDON, Jan. 2, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill UK, the fast-casual
restaurant chain that serves burritos, bowls, tacos, quesadillas,
and salads made with real ingredients, today announced a
partnership with Strava, the app for active people with more than
135 million users in more than 190 countries, to encourage and
rewards healthy habits this year. Chipotle is launching its
first-ever international Strava segment challenge for participants
to compete to win free Lifestyle Bowls for a year, plus free
Chipotle for their city. 1 The initiative
connects Chipotle's running community across 25 cities in
Europe and North America, including London. See all locations at
chipotle.co.uk/city-challenge. People can also complete the segment
by walking or in a wheelchair. The cities participating in the
competition are the top 25 cities that eat the most Chipotle.
London: Ready, Set,
Go
The "Chipotle Segment" in London is located at 101-103 Baker St,
London W1U 6LN. Starting today
through 31 January, fans in London
will have the opportunity to compete for Local Legend Status (LCL),
an award for the individual who completes the segment the most
times. Chipotle will reward the Local Legend in London with free Lifestyle Bowls for a
year.1
"Our nourishing, real food is quickly becoming a go-to training
meal for athletes across all levels in London," said Anat
Davidzon, Managing Director, International for Chipotle.
"After launching with Strava in the U.S. in 2024, we saw a
passionate response from our fans in the UK requesting to bring the
competition here."
Chipotle x Strava: The City Challenge
According to a
Chipotle running survey, nearly 7 out of 10
Chipotle consumers who are runners indicate they are likely or
very likely to eat Chipotle after training for a
race. Chipotle partnered with Strava to create 25
"Chipotle segments," which are portions of roads and trails
created by the Strava community where athletes can find
friendly competition by chasing the fastest times on the
leaderboard. Each segment ends at a Chipotle restaurant,
making it easy to enjoy a nutritious, post-workout recovery
meal.
Every city with a Chipotle segment, including London, will also compete to see who can
collectively complete the highest mileage on the segment. The
cities' progress will be tracked on the "Chipotle x Strava: The
City Challenge" heatmap, a first-of-its-kind leaderboard
showing daily updates of each city's performance. The city that
wins will score a BUY-ONE-GET-ONE-FREE (BOGOF) entrée offer for
their entire city valid on instore orders on a future date to be
announced by Chipotle. This will be the first time Strava
segments will be in direct competition with each other as part of a
brand-sponsored competition.
Celebrating 2025 With New Lifestyle Bowls and Supergreens
Salad Mix
Chipotle's Lifestyle Bowls are chef-curated
mains designed to make healthy habits convenient and delicious with
