Anne-Marie Madden

Trail and Road Runner, Vancouver, BC

Salomon

Anne-Marie Madden is a trail and road runner based in Vancouver, BC Canada. She has been running trails since she was a teen. She runs races ranging from 5km on the road to 100km on trail. Her biggest goal for 2022 is tackling the Western States 100 Mile in California in June. This will be her first attempt at the 100 mile distance. Salomon is always at the forefront of innovation and development of sports gear. They have designed a wide range of different shoes tailored for specific types of ground. The gear is comfortable and functional which is key when racing any distance. Most recently, I am thrilled to have won a golden ticket to the 2022 Western States 100 Miler. This race will be challenging for many reasons including the heat, the distance and the deep competitive field. I am very much looking forward to the experience.

Gary Robbins

Trail running, Chilliwack, BC

Salomon

Now in my 40's my goals are to stay as fit and healthy as possible, to get out into the mountains as often as I can, and to ensure I share and develop that passion and love of the outdoors with my family. Over the years I've raced around the world, and I even won a few and set some course records too. Surprisingly enough I still hold the course record at the HURT 100 mile race in Hawaii, which I set over a decade ago in 2010 and then bettered it again in 2013. Salomon make some of the best gear on the planet, from running, to skiing and I've been honoured to have been supported by the brand now for over ten years. Biggest challenge? Finishing my first ever expedition race in Australia in 2007 at the XPD (750kms) ranks right up there. I guess also finding the motivation to attempt to toe the line at the Barkley for 6 straight years was right up there as well.
