elitefeats and hollarhype Partner to Elevate the Community-Driven Running Experience

February 13, 2025

[Long Island, NY] /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – elitefeats is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with hollarhype for the 2025 season that is set to make races more interactive, motivating, and memorable for runners and their communities alike.

“We are excited to integrate hollarhype’s dynamic features into the comprehensive support stack we provide for our events, participants, and stakeholders,” said Brendan Dagan, CEO and Co-founder of elitefeats. “The way hollarhype enables participants to gather their micro-communities for support is astounding. It’s more than just race-day hype—this app allows friends and family to send encouragement during training, creating a truly immersive experience.”

As the leading operator of community-driven advocacy races in the New York area, elitefeats supports over 700+ annual events across NYC and Long Island. This partnership underscores elitefeats’ commitment to continually enhancing the race experience for both participants and event organizers.

hollarhype’s unique approach to runner engagement aligns perfectly with elitefeats’ mission to create holistic, high-quality event partnerships that push the boundaries of endurance event innovation.

“We couldn’t believe how many events elitefeats partners with each year after meeting Brendan and seeing how committed he is to making sure that every single one of them feels special for everyone that signs up,” said Emily Zaccardi, CEO and co-founder of hollarhype. “When folks sign up for a race, it’s for all sorts of reasons. Maybe it’s about committing to their health, or raising awareness for a disease, or simply proving to themselves that they can do better than last time. We’re excited to know that, now, anyone who signs up for an elitefeats partnered event will be able to experience their story with the support of others with hypes.”

Beyond a stellar real-time, right-voice experience, hollarhype also has a suite of premium features for flexible in-app promos, group hypes, and campaigning, of which, Zaccardi noted elitefeats is planning to leverage in new and insightful ways. “I think if I were a runner who crossed the line of a half marathon, and saw in my hollarhype app that it unlocked a special discount for my next elitefeats race, it really would feel like a special perk,” she said. “We’re all inundated with emails and texts, so getting experiential offers can be more resonant and also feel more rewarding.”
