Posted by Fran O'Donnell on May 02, 2023

Let the Brakes Off

Take your running to the next level this season. Montane's lightweight, protective running kit will help you take on technical trails with total confidence.

 

With nothing weighing you down, how far could you go? If you held nothing back, how fast could you be? Montane's running kit is designed to take you places you didn’t know you could go.

 

Lung-busting climbs, blissfully peaceful summits and lyrically soaring descents…trail running allows you to really indulge in the effort of your goals. Resting in the heart of the Lake District National Park, the iconic Pavey Ark provides the perfect base to put your running skills to the test. An oasis of wilderness easily accessed from civilisation. It is a crag of soaring ridges and steep ascents with imposing exposure throughout the trails.

 

Taking on such technical trails requires our lightest running kit, so you can go further and faster. Maximum protection and breathability, but minimum weight. Your chance to really let the brakes off this season…
