Last week, iRunFar joined a group of athletes and journalists for a backcountry adventure in New Hampshire's White Mountains. The outing aimed to test the new Mount to Coast M1 technical trail shoes. The group faced relentless terrain and harsh weather, testing the shoes' capabilities.

The Presidential Traverse, known for its ruggedness, was the chosen route. The group, led by guide Britta Clark, started early from Randolph. They climbed over 5,000 feet, encountering rain and wind. Despite the challenging conditions, the shoes performed well, providing necessary support and grip. Follow more trail news from Runner World.
