Race Light Women's Trail Running Shoes - sky blue and white

We'll come right out and say it:the Race Light was THE essential product missing from our collection. Essential, because it's designed for a minority of trail runners who have very specific needs that are often neglected:we're talking about high-level runners.And for good reason, there's only space enough for one person on the top of the podium!Right, we've said it... Nothing can stop you now!It's settled, the Race Light is the perfect ally for the fastest runners!

In trail running races, every gram matters.That's why we teamed up with Matryx® and its patented fabric so highly reputed in the trail running world.Manufactured in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, the Matryx® fabric of our RACE LIGHT running shoes is made from high tenacity polyester coated with polyurethane, procuring high resistance to tears and abrasions, as well as excellent breathability.We chose to add an aramid fibre yarn to the weave for even more support.

To make these trail shoes even more powerful, we have incorporated the Up Bar® concept into the RACE LIGHT.Borrowed from the Kiprun (road running) range, this technology optimises running propulsion and energy response by stiffening both of these contact points without hindering foot motion.Specially designed in collaboration with podiatrists, this plate takes the shape of a raised ridge running along the RACE LIGHT sole, allowing a natural stride while yielding unbeatable performance.

Designed to be worn on races of 0 to 40 km, or up to 3 hours in duration, as well as for training sessions, the RACE LIGHT trail running shoes stay firmly in place. Designed for a snug fit, they are well suited to the slim feet of fast competitive trail runners.All that's left for you to do is focus on your goals and run as fast as you can.Fancy pushing beyond the 40-km mark?Our RACE ULTRA trail running shoes are ideal for all your long outings!

Our RACE LIGHT trail running shoes were tested on an ultra-demanding playground: Reunion Island.As to the testers, we selected trail runners with an ITRA rating above 700: The result? the RACE LIGHT model was truly put through its paces!"I made them run flat out several times around a 2.5 km circuit in particular, it was hard!" recounts Thierry BREUIL, former elite trail runner and product manager on this shoe.

Regarding the lacing, we spent a lot of time working on how to improve the lace storage system.The benefit of securing the laces in a pocket is simply to prevent them from coming loose or catching on branches or undergrowth.What is the special feature of this strong stretch pocket? Rather than opening from the top, it opens from the bottom at the front the shoe. Consequently, the laces are more evenly spread inside the pocket.

The RACE LIGHT can be defined in two words:Lightness and propulsion.And 200g in size 6 is about as light as it gets!When it comes to energy and dynamism, the Up Bar® concept, combined with a 4mm drop, will allow you to run with a natural stride, delivering unbeatable performance.In short, our RACE LIGHT model is a formidable all-terrain racing shoe!

For your comfort and to prevent injuries, it is crucial that you carefully select the right size for your RACE LIGHT trail running shoes. So, make sure there is adequate space between your heel and the back of the shoe, as well as between your toes and the front, so your feet don't suffer on the downhills.Take the time to walk and jog in-store to check there's no chafing to bother you.The podiums are yours for the taking!
