Midweek Miles: HOKA Partners with Pretty Huge for Free Run Clinic
Running has become increasingly popular these days. Some say it's a subconscious reaction after the worldwide lockdown during the pandemic; others say it's the 30-something version of a mid-life crisis. Whatever it is, we can all agree that this trend is good for our health. And if you want to do it more regularly, HOKA just partnered with Pretty Huge in Bonifacio Global City for a free run clinic every Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the sports facility's 100-meter indoor running track.
The HOKA Run Clinic is facilitated by Ronald Molit, an Ironman-Certified Coach and ASCA Level 1 & 2 Swim Coach. It is open to everyone as long as you register online through Hoka Philippines' announcements on social media. Registering also gets you free access to lockers and shower rooms at Pretty Huge, as well as exclusive privileges at the Members' Lounge. Don't forget to bring your water bottles as dispensers are available at the venue.

What to Know About HOKA
Sports shoe brand HOKA is known for its distinctive oversized soles. Its unique approach to cushioning and stability has redefined comfort standards, making it a favorite among both professional athletes and casual runners alike.
It was founded in 2009 by two French trail runners, Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard, who sought to create a shoe that could improve downhill running performance. Their breakthrough came with the development of a shoe that featured a larger-than-normal outsole, providing greater cushioning and stability. This design not only helped runners tackle challenging terrains but also reduced the impact on joints, making it particularly appealing for long-distance runners. The brand's ethos of pushing boundaries and challenging norms resonated with athletes looking for an edge in their performance.
HOKA Run Clinic is held every Wednesday until January 29, 2025. Pretty Huge is located at 2F Bonifacio Civic Center Tower, McKinley Parkway, Taguig.
