We talk about adventure running, fell running and trail running all the time on the blog and with our customers. But did you know we actually take part in races too.

Paul, the Product and Retail Manager is a keen runner – he regularly takes part in road races around the 10km and the occasional fell race. Each winter he selects a handful of off-road races, usually Fell race and set’s about competing. Although, he does state:
