Trail runner events firm Maverick Race and accessories specialist KitBrix have announced a two-year partnership with immediate effect. Maverick Race has enjoyed a successful 2016 and has taken trail runners to three National Parks and 7 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) across the UK – while KitBrix has ‘continued to support the needs of the outdoor enthusiast/athlete in triathlon, OCR, cycle and now trail running’.
KitBrix will support Maverick Race with its current product range and future Trail Run specific items. Building on the 10 events Maverick Race had this year, the organiser is now up to 18 and counting. This includes 4 marathon distance races whilst keeping to an ethos of running in beautiful places. Maverick Race will continue to support routes created in National Parks and AONB and this chimes with the KitBrix approach to the outdoors across sports.
When asked about his favourite event location of 2016, Justin Bufton from Maverick Race said, “Picking a favourite spot is tough, but I think it has to be our Devon race; set deep down in the Teign Valley on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park, it epitomises what we’re about! The start/finish area is a delightful meadow right next to the river and the infamous Fingle Bridge, sitting under the shadow of Castle Drogo.
“The course is an awesome mix of flat riverside trails, heavily wooded forest and monstrous hills! The whole event has a real feel of wilderness that we love, but it’s just 20 minutes off the M5.”
He continued, “We’re really excited to be partnering up with KitBrix for the coming season. Having been long-term users of their bags we’ve really put them through their paces. We love these bags – a rare find that delivers what it promises. Designed to be tough and stand up to anything the great outdoors can throw at you and still look great and keep your kit organised. We’re looking forward to seeing and testing out the current and future KitBrix product range.”
