We are happy to announce that Mude Sports has extended its cooperation with Asia Trail Master as our official customisation partner for Season IX. Mude Sports is a high-performance sports wear brand for running, cycling and triathlon with a specific focus on recycled fabrics and other sustainable solutions for the industry. While also sponsoring and coaching Vietnamese elite trail runners such as ATM Champion Hau Ha, Mude Sports’ bread and butter is customisation to produce products ‘outside the limits of a catalogue’. Whether you are a competitive sports team, a corporate or friendly training club, an organiser in need of event and finisher tees, or just an individual keen on wearing your own design, your own colours and using high quality and eco-friendly materials, Mude can customise everything to suit your wishes.

A special focus this season goes to the increasingly in-demand Mude hydrovest. Coming in various colour schemes, both the Summit 1 and Peak 1 hydrovests have become popular items among trail runners in Vietnam - including Hau Ha. The hydrovests are very light, but nevertheless robust to carry all your mandatory gear and with a special and convenient compartment for your poles.

Environmental protection is a key objective for the brand. When founder Guim Valls, originally from Spain, cycled around the world with an e-bike a good decade ago, he was confronted with the huge plastic pollution problem around the planet, damaging the soil, oceans and rivers, poisoning humans and wildlife. When he learnt that polyester fiber - the main fabric used in modern-day sportswear - is essentially also made out of PET, the main component of plastic bottles, the idea for Mude was born.

Creating polyester fabric from plastic bottles has an enormous positive impact on the planet. Traditional polyester depends on the extraction and burning of fossil fuels. Using recycled polyester instead makes use of the millions of plastic bottles already in existence. The process on how this all works can be read and learnt on the website of Mude Sports linked below.

Mude emphasizes that their recycled fabrics have the exact same properties as traditional Polyester fabrics, as proven by international and independent testing and industry certifications.

Mude Sports can be contacted directly for all your customisation needs via info@mude.vn

Since the launch of the 2018 Asia Outdoor Exhibition and the new brand, Zenone has adhered to the tenet of "walking steadily and supporting life", with a pragmatic and rigorous attitude, and focus on extremely light. and on reliability. Moving into the sport of trail running, Zenone has rapidly gathered applause and popularity in the outdoor sports communities, including even mountaineering.

Several events on our ATM calendar are directly supported by Zenone Poles as well, and participating runners can purchase customised versions of the lightweight poles. In the plan for 2024 are also customised ATM poles. Runners will also be able to score these as prizes in ATM events.

We are delighted to announce that T8 has extended its support for the Asia Trail Master Championship series for Season IX, which is scheduled to run until mid-September 2024. T8 is credited as our official apparel partner.

The Hong Kong-based brand has entered the trail running market in Asia by storm over the past couple of years - and as such certainly lives up to its name. T8 refers to the typhoon or hurricane wind signal used by the Hong Kong Observatory to warn for a gale or storm from one of the four quadrants.

Founded by trail runners Mark Green and the 2019 ATM Champion John Ellis, T8 has been supporting ATM since 2019 and nowadays its stand-out logo is omnipresent in the Asian trail scene. In particular, the Sherpa Shorts and the T8 Commandos - the anti-chaffing underwear that started it all - have become many runners’s favourite. Combined with a fun and clean image, and an excellent team of trail performers, both competitively and media-wise, the brand keeps on growing.

In ATM Season IX, T8 will also continue its support for young trail running talents in Asia. The T8 Talent Fund will see runners from less-privileged areas receive an opportunity to shine and make themselves known by competing in one or more ATM points races. Hopefully, that may even result in qualification for their country team in the ATM Championship Finals. Nepal’s Rashila Tamang, the new female ATM Champion, is perhaps the greatest example of what the T8 Talent Fund can mean for someone.

‘T8 is very happy to continue its support for the Asia Trail Master series for the new season,” says David Longo, International Manager of T8. “In addition, we are looking forward to launching some new and exciting products in 2024.”

You can check out all the T8 products easily via their website and e-store linked below. Have a look at the new neck cooler, which is a very handy accessory in South East Asia, especially.

We are happy to announce the continuing premium partnership between La Sportiva and the 2023 Asia Trail Master Championship series. The internationally respected brand, founded almost 100 years ago (1928) by Narciso Delladio in the majestic Dolomites mountains in Northern Italy, remains the official trail footwear partner of Asia Trail Master as part of its ongoing marketing push in the region.

La Sportiva has a long history of growth and success in climbing, mountaineering, and alpine trekking cross country skiing, and increased its engagement in the blossoming sport of trail mountain running® about two decades ago. At first primarily in Italy and neighbouring European nations, but today La Sportiva’s footwear can be found in no fewer than 70 countries across several continents. Nevertheless, the company is still largely family-run and headquartered in Ziano di Fiemme with Lorenzo Delladio at the helm. In recent years, La Sportiva has received plenty of awards for its technical innovations, but also for its commitments in the environmental field and its development of sustainable products and processes. “Our driving force is passion, our passion is the mountains” is the slogan. A good number of global elite trail runners have taken up the brand and brought it to the foreground of the sport’s footwear and apparel industry. The continuing partnership with Asia Trail Master aims to further increase its market share in Asia in the coming years as well. La Sportiva has a great group of running ambassadors in several countries who will be competing in this year’s Championship, with the big Final planned for the first weekend of December.

Trail running shoes of La Sportiva come in a number of distinct models, each designed for specific requirements, and offer several colour options as well. The most popular model sold in Asia is the Akasha II. Designed for long-distance routes, UltraMarathons and prolonged use during training, the three key words are protection, comfort and cushioning. The wearing comfort is given by the cushioning, thanks to the Cushion Platform ™ footbed insert and the large internal volumes as well as the soft, breathable and enveloping upper with Slip-on construction that avoids compression points during the race. The Akasha II comes in various colour designs, so anyone can find his or her favourite match. Other models to check out are the Jackal (lightweight and medium distances) and the Ultra Raptor II (robust and for technical long mountain ultras).

In 2023, the Jackal II will be in the spotlights. The lightweight shoe, ideal for competitive runners, not only offers outstanding grip but now also comes with the BOA-system. Some of you may know the BOA system from modern-day cycling shoes. Classic shoe laces are replaced by stainless steel wires, connected to a turning knob for micro-precision fit (see picture below).

La Sportiva also has a wide range of apparel and accessories in store, which you can find in detail on the comprehensive website https://www.lasportiva.com/en .

Stay tuned for news updates on La Sportiva throughout the year, and win prizes at selected ATM events!
