Sneaker Report: Road to Race Day
Meet the adidas Hyperboost
In honour of the Dunedin 2026 Marathon coming up, running season is in full swing! Whether you're taking on the full 42.2km, lining up for the half or simply using race season as motivation to get more kilometres under your belt, the right pair of running shoes can make all the difference.
Meet the adidas Hyperboost. Designed as lightweight daily trainer, it's made for the miles that build towards race day, from easy morning runs to faster-paced sessions when you're ready to pick up the tempo.
Made for Miles
The Hyperboost Run is all about keeping your feeling light, responsive and energised. Underfoot, adidas' Hyperboost Pro foam delivers a cushioned, energetic feel designed to keep you moving comfortable through your training.
At just 211g, the lightweight build keeps things feeling effortless, while the 6mm drop gives the shoe a natural, easy-going feel that works across everyday runs.
It’s the kind of trainer you can reach for when you're heading out for a quick few kilometers, but equally when the run on your training plan looks a little more serious.
Your Training Run, Upgraded
The best running shoe isn't necessarily the one you save for race day. It’s the one that becomes part of your routine.
The Hyperboost Run is designed to handle a mix of running sessions, making it an easy addition to your weekly rotation. Think steady kilometers, longer runs, tempo sessions and those spontaneous "I'll just go for a quick one" runs that somehow turn into a 10km.
Dunedin, Here We Come
The Dunedin Marathon is one of those events that gives every training run a little more purpose. With the full marathon course following the Otago Harbour before heading towards the city, it’s a race built around settling into your rhythm and putting those training kilometers to work.
And whether Dunedin is your big race goal or you're simply inspired by the runners hitting the streets this spring, there's something pretty motivating about having an event on the horizon.
Because of race day might be the goal, but the real work happens in the weeks leading up to it.
Ready to Run
Finished with Lighttraxion technology and Continental rubber through the forefoot for added grip, the Hyperboost Run brings together the cushioning, responsiveness and lightweight feel you want from an everyday running shoe.
It’s a trainer built to keep up with your training, wherever the road takes you.
So, Dunedin, we’re ready. The kilometres are waiting.
