XPD Welcomes Salomon

Organisers would like to welcome on board a new associate sponsor Salomon. The sponsorship manager for Salomon stopped in at the 3rd edition and was so impressed and inspired by the expedition competitors were to undertake, that potential sponsorship discussions began then and there. Salomon produce just about any item of outdoor gear you could image. They are well know in adventure racing circles for their backpacks and shoes. Organisers look forward to a great relationship with Salomon and also to passing on some great Salomon products to competitors this year.
