Red Wing, MN –
Vasque footwear is happy to announce its official footwear partnership
with the GoPro Mountain Games, the country’s largest celebration of
adventure sports, music and mountain lifestyle. The event will be held
in Vail, CO, June 5-9, 2014, and typically hosts up to 3,000 athletes
and over 53,000 spectators.
The GoPro Mountain
Games, a project of the Vail Valley Foundation, offer the best athletes
in the climbing, kayaking, cycling, multi-sport, trail running and fly
fishing sports a chance to exhibit their athletic abilities and compete
in one of the most revered mountain towns in Colorado that is ‘like
nothing on Earth™’. Not just about the sports, the event includes other
entertainment such as a photography competition, film festival, canine
competition, live music, chances to demo gear and more.
“Partnering with
the GoPro Mountain Games is a fantastic opportunity for Vasque to
connect with athletes and spectators who love the mountain lifestyle and
understand the enjoyment of being on the trail and in the great
outdoors,” states Julie Quinn, Marketing Manager of Vasque. “It is
exciting to be the exclusive footwear partner for such an iconic outdoor
event.”
Vasque’s spring
2014 collection, which will be worn by many GoPro Mountain Games staff,
is all about performance. Whether it’s hiking in rocky conditions or
scrambling alongside the river, Vasque’s new Elemental Collection offers
footwear that is environment specific and performs exceedingly well in
the terrain for which it was designed. In addition to the Elemental
Collection, Vasque will also have its newest, technologically advanced
Ultra SST trail runner on hand at the event. The Ultra SST is completely
conformable to the trail and a runner’s foot making it the perfect shoe
for competing in the Vasque 10K Spring Run-Off at the Games.
“We are extremely
pleased to welcome Vasque to the GoPro Mountain Games family as the
official footwear partner,” explained Michael Imhof, Senior Vice
President of Sales and Operations for the Vail Valley Foundation. “No
pun intended, but Vasque represents a perfect fit with the GoPro
Mountain Games as they have created the most innovative and rugged boots
and shoes made for hiking, trail running and backpacking.”
