CHAMPIONS FEEDBACK

Free MTC shoes will be available to the 2025 male & female winners too.

SAMUEL LEWIS - 2024 Mens Champion

Samuel Lewis - 'The first thing I noticed when I unpacked the Mount to Coast R1’s is how light they are, they must be one of the lightest pair of running shoes that I have ever owned. The dual-lacing system allows you to get a perfect fit to your feet, ensuring there’s no looseness or rubbing. Whilst the shoes are light, on my long runs they have proven to be durable and in the last miles of the run I can still feel a bounce to each step which helps the tired legs at the end of a run. I have also been using them on some of the few hot days we’ve had in the UK this summer and they have proven to also be really breathable, which helps keep my feet cool. I’m really impressed with the R1’s, they suit my longer road runs but are so light and versatile they work well on shorter faster distances too'.
