Life Time, the fitness club, and Hoka One One, a division of Deckers Brands, announced a multi-faceted partnership “to empower people in all aspects of their health journey.” The companies will work together on a number of activations, starting with one around Global Running Day.
“Life Time champions healthy, happy lives for our two million members and their communities, supporting them to make positive changes and to achieve their healthy way of life goals,” said Life Time President of Sales and Marketing and Chief Digital Officer Michael Burgess. “We’re incredibly excited to partner with like-minded Hoka to support athletes in their pursuit of adventure and performance and tell these stories.”
To launch the partnership, the brands are teaming up on Global Running Day June 5 to host more than 70 group runs at local Life Time athletic resorts nationwide. Open to the public, these runs are meant to encourage everyone to get up and get active, whether it’s their first run or they’re a running veteran. Those interested in igniting their own positive change can find a local run by registering online. There is also an opportunity to enter to win an entry to the Hoka One One Chicago Half Marathon and 5K on September 29 along with a pair of Hoka shoes, coaching from a Life Time Run Coach and travel to the race.
