About

The business and finance of running

Hopone covers the money behind running: brand earnings, race economics, sponsorship, startups and retail.

Running is a business worth tens of billions of dollars. Shoe brands report their results every quarter, marathons sell their entry fees by ballot, sponsors pay to put their name on a race, and investors fund the apps and watches that runners use. Hopone follows that money.

Every story answers one question: who makes or loses money, how much, and why. We lead with the key figure, give its source, and explain what it means for brands, races and runners. Hopone is written for curious runners, industry insiders and investors.

How Hopone is made

Hopone articles are written with AI by the Hopone Newsroom, from published sources only: company reports, press releases, official statements and the reporting of other news outlets. Every source is credited and linked in the article. Figures we compute ourselves are marked “Hopone calculation”.

Hopone takes no position on politics and gives no investment advice.
