adidas & Grete Waitz

Grete Waitz had a long history with adidas, wearing and promoting their clothing and shoes for more than 30 years. adidas' gratitude and love for Grete was built through its respect of both her running achievements and her commitment to the brand. She was a modern-day hero, both on and outside the sporting arena. Both Grete and husband, Jack, were important ambassadors for the leading athletic brand.

Grete´s personal fight against cancer was a courageous one, and she demonstrated the same positivity and inner strength throughout her illness as she did throughout her running career. Grete gave so much to so many people during her life, and adidas' support of AKTIV Against Cancer is their way to give back to commemorate her memory. 

“Grete Waitz was a star in many countries, particularly in the United States, where adidas has a large customer base. We are honored to have adidas as our partner and look forward to seeing the impact of the cooperation going forward,” says Helle Aanesen, Managing Director of AKTIV Against Cancer.

Mile High Run Club is a running club and studio based in New York City that focuses on building your overall strength and endurance as a runner. It has brought the popular group fitness format to running, an otherwise independent sport. Each class ranges in time (from 30 minutes to an hour) and depending on the class, starts with runners on their own treadmill followed by off-treadmill strength exercises. MHRC also offers a comprehensive running program that includes classes in-studio as well as outdoor long distance runs to prepare for a race.
