I ran 50 km in The North Face shirt Katie Schide wore to win the UTMB – and it’s my new favorite running top

US' athlete Katie Schide gestures as she celebrates victory while crossing the finish line at the end of the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) women's race in Chamonix.

I’ve been trail running for years now, but in the last two years, early fall has brought a new routine. It looks like this: I travel to the French Alps to cover the iconic UTMB trail race around Mont Blanc, in my spare time I run on the best trails in Chamonix, and I come home even more excited than ever about trail running.

This year, American runner Katie Schide set a new women’s course record and kept pace with the elite men for most of the race. Schide is sponsored by The North Face, which meant she charged through three countries wearing the Summit Vectiv Pro shoes, but when it comes to her kit, what really stood out was her dazzling blue running shirt that turned out to be the new Summit Series High Trail Short-Sleeve in International Klein Blue.
