HOKA ONE ONE (a division of Deckers Brands) is continuing its focus on the triathlon community by joining forces with the iconic Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. IMG Worldwide, the global sports, events, media and fashion company, has confirmed that HOKA ONE ONE will be the official footwear sponsor of the 36th Annual Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon taking place on Sunday 12 June, in San Francisco.
This race sponsorship is a first for HOKA ONE ONE, a leading designer of performance athletic running shoes for triathletes and runners of all types.
“As HOKA’s presence in the triathlon community grows, it is a natural fit to partner with one of the most well-known races in the world and we are excited to be working with the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon team,” said HOKA ONE ONE President Wendy Yang.
“The whole HOKA family is impressed by the enduring athletes who take on this challenging race each year. It’s our pledge to design comfortable, lightweight and supportive running shoes to accommodate tired runners as they make their way up and down the hills of San Francisco and across the finish line.”
Top triathletes from around the globe will take over the streets and waters of San Francisco for the 2016 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon on Sunday 12 June. Showcasing the beauty of San Francisco, triathletes will embark on a 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the shoreline of Marina Green, an 18 mile hilly bike ride through the Presidio and an eight mile trail run out to Baker Beach and up the infamous Sand Ladder.
Fans can experience the excitement at the Marina Green where they can see the swim start and end, the athlete transition area and finish line.
