Running clears the mind, rejuvenates the body, and frees the soul. We know because we RUN! From 100 meters to 100 miles we have run and raced the distance. Yet after all the years of running we never felt the balance between footwear and nature had been achieved. VF Corporation VF Corporation is one of the world’s largest apparel, footwear and accessories companies connecting people to the lifestyles, activities and experiences they cherish most through a family of iconic outdoor, active and workwear brands including Vans®, The North Face®, Timberland® and Dickies®. Our purpose is to power movements of sustainable and active lifestyles for the betterment of people and our planet. We believe that when you discover the difference between a career and a calling, you get so much more out of life. When those lines begin to blur, you start to limit yourself much less and start aiming for more. That’s what we want for everyone who joins us at VF.

Last weekend, we took to the mountains of Colorado for the inaugural Camp We Run Long. Our mission was simple yet profound: to create a space where 25 BIPOC trail runners could feel truly empowered and embraced. What unfolded was beyond our wildest dreams. The weekend was a tapestry of shared life stories, heartfelt connections, and the invigorating challenge of the West Line Winder. It was a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from community, from vulnerability, and from celebrating one another. Together, we didn't just run—we forged bonds that will last a lifetime. #StayOutThere

ALTRA x NICOLE MCLAUGHLIN Upcycling Workshop — September 26 — Denver, CO We had a great time at our upcycling workshop in collaboration with Nicole McLaughlin. With Nicole leading the way, the workshop gave our guests an opportunity to create an upcycled water bottle holder using salvaged footwear materials from Altra’s development lab. The purpose of this workshop was to focus on the importance of sustainable design and to inspire new ways of thinking about waste reduction. Photos by Amanda Villarosa

On September 21, 2024, in the dead of night, Altra Elite Athlete, Tara Dower, completed her trek of the relentless and strenuous 2,197.4-mile Appalachian Trail. Her determination, grit, and positive attitude got her to the southern end of the trail in just 40 days, 18 hours, and 5 minutes. This incredible completion time not only awards her the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for the AT, but also smashes the overall record for the trail. Averaging about 54 miles per day, Tara beat the trail record made by Karel Sabbe in 2018 by more than 13 hours. But she wasn’t just out there to prove she could win the title. She set out on this journey to raise money for Girls on the Run, a non-profit program that inspires girls from all backgrounds through running. Tara raised $21,076 for Girls on the Run International surpassing her $20,000 goal. To celebrate Tara’s extraordinary accomplishment, Altra is proud to stand by her side and show our support. We’re excited to announce that we will be matching the funds Tara raised during her journey for Girls on the Run, doubling the impact of her incredible effort. Thank you, Tara, for showing us that no trail is too tough, no dream too big. You are a generous inspiration who is redefining what is possible. Take a nap, eat some Skittles, and enjoy this moment of glory. Her Journey. Our Inspiration. #StayOutThere Photos by Pete Schreiner
