Torpedo7 Aligns With Red Bull Defiance for 2018 Event
Press Release / 08.12.2017
A new partnership between Red Bull Defiance and Kiwi outdoor adventure retailer, Torpedo7 combines the latest outdoor clothing and equipment with one of New Zealand’s most epic multisport events.
Torpedo7 is the official apparel sponsor of the two-day event to be held in Lake Wanaka from the 20th – 21st January 2018 and will take up naming rights of the individual run – the Skyline Traverse.
With more than 400 competitors expected to compete, Warren Bates, CEO of 100% Pure Racing says it's brilliant to have the support from Torpedo7.
“The nature of this event requires competitors to spend a significant amount of time in the outdoors training and preparing for the challenges that lie ahead, and Torpedo7 is our ideal partner."
“They provide an amazingly comprehensive retail experience and represent some of the world’s best outdoor equipment and clothing for every day and competitive use. Having a Torpedo7 store in downtown Wanaka just across from the Red Bull Defiance finish line will add to the fun and friendly vibe of the event.”
The Torpedo7 Skyline Traverse offers up a 28 km run through Wanaka’s mountain peaks and valleys. The formidable running trail features lengthy ascents and a technical traverse across the ridgelines of Mt Alpha and Mt Roy before descending to the Lake Wanaka foreshore and resort.
Torpedo7 will provide official Red Bull Defiance competitor t-shirts and buffs along with duffle bags for race day equipment, category and spot prizes.
Torpedo7 Marketing & Sponsorship Executive Ben Davies says the multisport event is a natural fit for the brand.
“At Torpedo7 we live and breathe the outdoors, so we jumped at the chance to get behind Red Bull Defiance - one of the most epic sporting events on the calendar."
“It’s great to see so many competing in this year’s event, including our very own Torpedo7 athletes Simone Maier and Mary Gray. It goes to show that adventure sports are going from strength to strength in this country – and we’re stoked to be a part of it.”
Entries are open for the Torpedo7 Skyline Traverse Mountain Run and the Giant Minaret Burn MTB with more information here;
