Silva joins Montane Spine Race as official lighting and equipment partner

Accessories specialist Silva has announced its sponsorship of the Montane Spine Race, joining the Spine ultra running event family as the official Lighting and Equipment Partner.

Swedish outdoor brand Silva has built a long-standing connection with outdoor enthusiasts over a number of years. The brand has been involved in outdoor navigation since 1933, known for innovations such as the first liquid-filled compass. Today, it offers a range of products from head torches, to walking poles to running vests.

Silva will be lighting the way for athletes taking on one of Britain’s most brutal endurance events. It will be supporting ultra runners at the Montane Spine Race with high‑performance head torches and other outdoor equipment.

The Montane Winter Spine race kicked off last weekend along the Pennine Way – Britain’s first and one of its most challenging long-distance footpaths.

With a non stop, expedition style of racing, Montane Spine Races are widely regarded amongst the toughest endurance races in the world. The series is comprised of three different race events: the Winter Races, the Summer Races and the Arctic Races.

Both the Winter and Summer Races take on the Pennine Way in the UK. The Arctic Races take on The King’s Trail, also known as the Kunglesden, Sweden’s longest trail.
