HOKA ONE ONE has been named as an official sportswear partner of the NN Marathon Rotterdam, one of the Netherlands’ largest sports events.
Beginning in 2021, HOKA’s official partner status aims to enhance participants’ experience and help to further broaden interest in the event, engaging with its strong following in the running community.
The NN Marathon Rotterdam, traditionally organized in the spring, will move to the autumn/fall in 2021. Due to the corona pandemic, the 40th edition of the event has been rescheduled to the weekend of October 23-24 after consultation with the municipality of Rotterdam and main sponsor Nationale-Nederlanden (NN).
First held on May 23rd, 1981, the NN Marathon Rotterdam is one of the most-attended marathons worldwide and has been one of the largest two-day sports events in the Netherlands for a number of years.
Well attended by the world’s top athletes, as well as tens of thousands of runners from the Netherlands and abroad, the race takes participants along an iconic course, with the support of hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic spectators, before finishing on the historic Coolsingel.
‘The NN Marathon Rotterdam has a range of various distances, making it an event for runners of all levels. Now in its 40th edition, it will be a marathon weekend combining elite and mass runners with a festive feeling. With no other marathon event quite like it, the NN Marathon Rotterdam was, is and will always remain #demooiste (the most beautiful).’
“We are proud that the beautiful brand HOKA will be committed as a sponsor and official sportswear partner of the NN Marathon Rotterdam for the next three years,” says Mario Kadiks, CEO of Golazo Nederland and Organiser of the NN Marathon Rotterdam.
“In the coming years, we will work closely together with the aim of supporting the approximately 50,000 runners, of all levels, in achieving their personal goals. We think we have found a perfect match in HOKA and look forward to a pleasant cooperation”.
HOKA ONE ONE President Wendy Yang, said “The NN Marathon Rotterdam is a historic and beautiful event, and HOKA is thrilled to be announcing our support of this race. We are committed to bringing an outstanding running experience to the participants, and to enhancing this already world-class event with our commitment to bold innovation and our love of the sport.”
Through its support of this event, HOKA aims to ignite its ambitions in Europe and beyond. As well as the creation of a ‘world-class customer experience, the focus will be using this incredible platform to raise awareness amongst new and existing HOKA fans about the brand and its products.’
