INOV8 24-Hour Adventure

Great blog post on the Inov8 Roclites and what they can do in all conditions.

Based out of New England, US, Amy Rusiecki knows trail running from all angles. Not only is Amy a successful ultra runner herself, she is also married to one (Brian Rusiecki) and together they are the race directors for the Vermont 100. Amy had visited the Lake District fells of the UK in 2015 during a trip to the World Mountain Running Championships in nearby Wales, and this year returned as part of the #MyRoclite #GetAGrip24 adventure. Teaming up with fellow inov-8 ambassadors Avery Collins (US) and Ben Abdelnoor (UK), the trio set out on an epic 24-hour adventure through the fells. Amy takes up the story:

From the makers:

We are specialist designers and manufacturers of superb quality and very cool trekking and light weight ultra marathon poles. Often big brands which appear European are now mass produced in the Far East. Our poles are made with a little extra love by highly skilled specialists at our factory in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

We take the highest quality tube and grip and using our own recipe, mix them with moonlight from the Andes and cumulo nimbus from the Himalayas to create top quality poles for every terrain.
