We’ve got that Miami glow! In celebration of the 2024 Miami Marathon weekend, RUNGRL partnered with HOKA to present a dynamic pre-race activation we called Pre-Covery on Jan. 27. 

The event was a unique blend of pre-race preparation and recovery fun and included immersive activities, product demos, and insightful panel conversations.

Whether you stopped by because you were participating in the big race on Sunday, or you just came through to show some runner love, your presence added immense energy and enthusiasm to an already fantastic event.

From recovery tools to insightful panel conversations, this unique blend of pre-race preparation and recovery fun was designed to elevate the Miami Marathon experience.

Check out some of the fun activations from our Pre-Covery pop-up:

PRE-COVERY - All sorts of “pre-covery” tools and equipment, including Normatec 3 Legs (compression boots) and Hyperice Massage guns, were on hand to help runners get their pre-hab on in anticipation of the big race ahead.  

#MYRUNNINGHAIR SKIN REFRESH STATION - Licensed esthetician Anaïs Gornail showcased skincare products with onsite demos, and giveaways of products that support runners to the finish line. Runners also received Summary Friction Free Anti-Chafe Body Sticks and Summary Everyday Mineral Face Sunscreen in provided by FP Movement.

“Who better than you?” AFFIRMATION EXPERIENCE - There’s no community better suited to support runners, than runners themselves. In this  affirmation led photo/video experience attendees will have the opportunity to share their best  race day advice on pre-printed affirmation cards. 

FUELING + HYDRATION STATION  - Runners got to sample snacks and beverages all in support of race prep. 

[RUN]GRL TALK: Our amazing panelists, runners Gina Martinez and Lasonya Rogers, and moderator Adashia Franklyn, shared personal experiences and truly embodied the spirit of staying the course and celebrating the work of the training journey.
