How about a trade…a tag line for some flips? The Teva Tag Line Contest begins...

by The Insider 5. August 2009 07:12

We’re looking for a tag line and we think you’re smarter than an ad agency so, we wanted to go straight to the source, our Tribe. What do you say? Got any clever tag lines you’re just dying to get off your chest? Send us your thoughts via tweet to @TevaMeansNature. If your tag line gets chosen, we’ll hook you up with 50 pairs of Mush flips. (Just think about it…your Christmas shopping would be all wrapped up!)

 Here’s a little on Teva to get the creative mojo flowing: Teva makes shoes for people who are passionate about leading an adventurous life, whether it’s in the woods or in the city, and we’ve been at it for over 25 years. In the beginning the name Teva was chosen because of its meaning in Hebrew, nature. So, for the past quarter century we’ve been dedicated to performance, comfort and the environment in which we play but especially committed to our fellow adventurers better known to us as the Tribe.

 What do you say?? Got any clever tag lines you're just dying to get off your chest?

 

PS... Important: Make sure to read this "short" message from our legal team here before participating

The women’s team includes four athletes with the top three finishers scoring for the team.  Six athletes will represent the men’s team with the top four finishers scoring.

At the USATF annual convention in Reno, NV, on December 6, the Mountain Ultra Trail Running (MUT) Council chose two races from which automatic qualifiers to the U.S. team will be selected.  The USA Mountain Running Championships were hosted at Mt. Cranmore (11km) on June 28 in North Conway, NH. The top three U.S. men – Gray, Freudenberg, and Byrne – and the top U.S. woman finisher – Lundy – earned automatic berths on the team. The Cheyenne Canon Mountain Race in Colorado Springs, CO, was the site of the second and final selection race on July 26 (approximately 8km for women and juniors and 12km for men) where the top two U.S. men – Parr and Benford – and the top two U.S. women – Kimmel and Lund – earned automatic berths.            

After the final selection race, the remaining members of the senior squad, (one male - Gates, one female - Erholtz), were chosen by the Mountain Ultra Trail Council with input from the team staff based on results at the selection races, past World Trophy events, national and international racing experience including mountain, road, cross country, and track.       

The junior team members were selected based on their running resumes and required a letter of support from a coach, parent, or mentor. Junior athletes must be at least 16 and not yet 20 in the year of competition.      

Bios on the aforementioned athletes and photos will be distributed later this week.

Sponsors of the 2009 Teva U.S. Mountain Running Team include title sponsor Teva, the official footwear of the team since 2002.

NZ Stop Over

by Ben Brown 21. July 2009 08:18

I have just touched down in NZ for a quick lay over before jumping back on a plane and heading to North America. I hooked up with a TV station here in NZ who are running a feature on our Iceland Adventure, wanting to make the interview a little out of the norm I took them to a waterfall that happened to be running due to recent storms in NZ. Needless to say they were

pretty stoked on the location and getting to see first hand a run down a 55 footer!

Kicking off the Teva Mountain Games

by The Insider 3. June 2009 19:27

After a beautiful drive from Denver, we arrived in Vail just after noon today to blue skies and surprisingly warmer weather than I had imagined. Let the games begin!!

Finalizing all the finishing touches for the "big day", we headed to Minturn. Over 25 years ago Teva was started by a Grand Canyon river guide so it's only fitting we kick off the 8th annual Teva Mountian Games with the local river guide community. The Minturn Saloon were fantastic host as we played Teva Plinko, grubbed down and chatted it up with local community. Luckily, the rain held out and made for a GREAT evening. Thanks to everyone who came out to share the evening with us. It was a blast!

 

 

Now, on to the Steep Creek Race tomorrow AM!
