If a brand has ever been synonymous with ultrarunning, it’s Montrail. Between its great products and grassroots involvement in the sport, Montrail has been a community member, benefactor, and friend of ultrarunning for a decade and a half. A few years ago, Columbia Sportswear partnered Montrail with top-notch outdoor adventure gear company Mountain Hardwear. Since then, Mountain Hardwear has been cranking out an increasingly wide array of running specific apparel, hydration systems, and more. With that in mind, there’s no pair more appropriate to kick off a week’s long series of giveaways to celebrate the launch of Relentless Forward Progress: A Guide to Running Ultramarathons.
If you’re the lucky winner of this contest, you’ll get to pick any pair of running shoes from Montrail’s current line up. That mean’s you could choose the rugged, roomy Badrock that also performs admirably on pavement. If you’re regularly hitting the most technical of trails or looking for additional stability, the bomb-proof Sabino Trail might be the right choice for you. If you prefer the other end of the spectrum and want a speedy racer, look no further than Montrail’s newly introduced Rogue Racer. This shoe is creating some buzz and for good reason, as I suspect you’ll see it on many an ultra podium this year!
Mountain Hardwear is a good place to start for a comfortable summer of running and we’re here to hook you up.* To start, the winner will receive a Mountain Hardwear Wicked Lite Short Sleeve Tee (men’s) (women’s), a lightweight, fast-drying summer staple. The winner will also have his or her choice of Mountain Hardwear’s Men’s Refueler Short, Women’s Pacer Advance Short, or Women’s Pacer Advance Skort. Each of these bottom’s are lightweight, running-specific models that would be perfect for your first… or next ultramarathon.
As a bonus, we’re throwing in Petzl Tikka2 Plus headlamp. At less than 3 ounces, the Tikka2 Plus packs a powerful punch for lighting up your night runs. That means you can be out enjoying your Mountain/Mountain Hardwear combo even longer.
Finally, the winner will receive an iRunFar Headsweats hat. To keep you comfortable and stylish year-round.
