Basically how a virtual run works from end to end. Gonna be putting on a virtual 10k next year instead of the usual in-person event. Turns out it’s way cheaper to host (shocker) but the amount of work involved will entirely depend on how much we can automate (again, shocker).

I'm rooting for Hylo Athletics! It's a tough nut to crack: getting zero-waste right, getting the right price-point and getting a running shoe that compares to our favorite running shoes...

Same. Beautiful shoes as well. I think they're in a great position

I’m all for zero waste but I want to try these shoes, they surely have to be at least as good as my brooks to be worth it.

Hah! I would pay 10% more for a sustainable product but it has to be no compromise on my precious feet!
