Welcome to SCARPA - new exclusive footwear partner to the Montane Dragon’s Back Race®
We are thrilled to welcome SCARPA onboard as presenting sponsor of the Montane Dragon’s Back Race® and exclusive footwear partner for the next three editions of the event.
SCARPA’s range of running shoes will be a great fit for the adventure of the Montane Dragon’s Back Race® on 4th to 9th September 2023. We look forward to having their support during the event week.
SCARPA have been producing high quality outdoor footwear for over 80 years. They continue to be based in the foothills of the Dolomites in Italy where it all begun and now produce a wide range of footwear to take you from the street to 8000m summits and everything in between.
Event Director Shane Ohly adds:
“We are delighted to welcome SCARPA as a key partner of Ourea Events. Both organisations have a deep love of the mountains and that is reflected in what we organise, what we produce, and in the ways in which we operate. SCARPA makes a range of great footwear, and for that reason alone, the brand is an ideal partner for our events. However, we also share important values about responsible practices, and those will be key aspects of the relationship. We are excited about working together, and along with our other partners, throughout a busy calendar of events.”
Dave Suddes, SCARPA Trail Running Brand & Sales Director UK, adds:
“We are incredibly proud to be supporting such an iconic event in the mountain running calendar. The Dragon’s Back Race is the world’s toughest mountain race, and SCARPA trail running products are a perfect match. The race takes place over 6 days and traverses the length of Wales from North to south, while taking in some of the most gruelling technical terrain and stunning landscapes Wales has to offer. What is not to love about it? SCARPA has an astonishing history and heritage not unlike this event, and we look forward to building a strong future with Shane and the team.”
We look forward to working with SCARPA over the coming weeks and months to make the event even better - and we thank them for their support.
