Roots Fly High

Roots Fly High was a community trail-running activation created by Bearly Runners with HOKA at Neverland Coffee Bar and Greynolds Park on September 28, 2025. The collaboration connected HOKA’s mountain-running roots with the trails that have shaped Bearly’s South Florida community, with Neverland serving as the gathering place for the morning.

Shokz, Once Upon a Coconut, Heali Medical, and RunAdic joined HOKA and Neverland in supporting the event. The day brought the pack together around its shared love of the trails, with photographs by Mel Borges and an event film by Framehous capturing the experience. The film also credits the work of Yessenia Araica, Walt Cam, and Avery Cypress.
