HOKA + Nights of Thunder Cross Country Fest

SAVE THE DATE for the 3rd Annual HOKA Nights of Thunder Cross Country Festival!

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us at Apalachee Regional Park for an incredible night under the lights. This year, we witnessed blazing-fast times, electrifying performances, and a massive leap in participation—from 500 runners in year one to more than 1,300 in year two! The growth and energy of this event would not have been possible without the athletes, coaches, families, and supporters who made it so special. Stay tuned as we look ahead to 2026 and continue building on the excitement. Until then, thank you for being part of the Thunder! #NoNightsOff
