A welcome message from INOV8
We are delighted to be once again sponsoring the iconic Three Peaks Race and look forward to celebrating the 70th anniversary with you all.
Working alongside our retail partner Pete Bland Sports in the event field, we will be out in force, supporting all runners tackling this historic race.
We also hope to be joined by several INOV8 athletes – including a contingent from France – many of whom will be aiming to challenge for race-day podium places.
Forged ourselves in nearby fells 22 years ago, we know what this incredible race means to both the sport and the community. Our footprints are etched into these hills, and it makes us proud to be at the heart of it.
Our running footwear and kit is built tough for the extremes of a race like this, so put your trust in us and crush the course. Our top shoe recommendation for the Three Peaks race is the super-versatile TRAILTALON, designed to master soft mud AND tame hard trails. There’s also SPEED and GTX versions.
Please do come see us in the event field, check out our new gear, and talk to us about all things fell running.
Good luck to everyone racing the 2026 Three Peaks Race.
The team at INOV8
Northern Monk
We’re excited to be sponsoring the Three Peaks Race again in 2026. We’ve been supporting the event for a number of years now and continue to be inspired by the incredible effort and commitment of everyone who takes part.
This part of the world is a special place for Northern Monk. We’re a Yorkshire-based business ourselves, and we often climb the peaks of Yorkshire as a team as part of our Northern Monk Hike Club expeditions.
A lot of our creative work and can designs are inspired by the landscapes that the Three Peaks Race covers, and Ribblehead Viaduct appears prominently on Faith, our flagship beer.
Good luck to everyone taking part in this year’s event, we’ll see you at the finish for a beer or two!
