Hey Steve,
Funnily enough I was hoping to announce this within the next few days, but figured I’d wait until our new sponsor - Beta Outdoor Sports - had uploaded their banners.
Many of you will know Beta from the climbing side, not least because of their eponymous ‘Beta Stick’; however, they also distribute a number of strong running brands including Ultimate Direction, Icebug, Injinji, Kahtoola, and Moonlight Mountain Gear. Furthermore, they have a lovely bunch of people working there - several of whom are around on this forum.
We appreciate the sponsorship on a number of levels, not least because it’ll give us a good excuse to do more running news/articles, but also allow us to review even more high quality kit too.
On a more personal note, it’s nice to see running continue to play such a central role with what is - at least in name - a ‘climbing’ and ‘hillwalking’ website. Life would be boring if we just did one thing and I for one am grateful of the variety!!
Thanks once again to Beta, it’s great to have you on board.
