Mecanim to move along the path

Hi all, What woul I do if there's a need to animate person running along the procedurally generated path?

What I've currently done is:

1. Disabled RootMotion

2. Tween the human model along the path with HOTween

3. Turn on animation via the properties like "Speed"

Is this a correct way of doing things? Looks awkward since mecanim loses its feet placement until tweening speed is adjusted...
