U.S. Olympian Zaferes Partners with 361 Degrees USA
Katie Zaferes, one of the world's premier triathletes and
a 2016 U.S. Olympian, has chosen 361 Degrees USA as her
footwear partner with the signing of a multi-year partnership
agreement. Zaferes (pictured on the cover of this issue of
Running Insight) leads a growing roster of elite athletes who are
representing 361 Degrees in the U.S. and around the globe.
Zaferes is currently ranked number four in the International
Triathlon Union (ITU) World Triathlon Series (WTS) standings.
She has six top-five finishes in 2017.
Zaferes says she began wearing 361 Degrees shoes when
they were recommended to her by a friend and owner of a
triathlon shop in Maryland. "Initially, I was drawn to the design
of the 361 Degrees shoes and then when I tried a pair I felt
so confident and comfortable in them. I could tell when I first
started running in 361 Degrees shoes that they are dependable,
and then when I raced in them I found out they're also fast
shoes! I've had some of my fastest run splits in the 361-KGM2
2," she says.
Zaferes currently trains in the 361-Spire 2 and 361-Shield 2
and races in the 361-KGM2 2.
Women Who Fly Video Campaign
Hoka One One has created a three-part film series highlighting
"real women who fly."
The film series tells inspiring stories of women who have
conquered life obstacles and paved a path to triumph over adversity.
The character studies are designed to inspire other runners while
defining the Hoka brand; focusing on running not only for fitness,
but also helping you become the person you want to be.
The series kicks off with the story of Devon Yanko, who opens
up about how she used running to hide from everyone in the world.
The ultra-runner was abused by her high school basketball coach
and wanted to run away from the world. Running became a form
of therapy and something that Yanko uses figuratively and literally.
The second film features trail runner Catra Corbett, who turned
an addiction into something positive through running. The third
film features Shirin Gerami, an Iranian triathlete, who struggled
pursuing triathlon while adhering to Iran's dress regulations for
women. Practicing her religion, Shirin ensured her hijab would not
hinder her excelling during the races.
