Words from marie dohin - kiprun athlete - winner of the isu 2024

"As a fan of MTC2 since joining the team, I had high expectations when we received this Race Ultra 2 a week before the Trail du Ventoux by UTMB... and they were more than fulfilled!! The support is excellent!!I immediately trusted the shoe. It is very dynamic with excellent cushioning! The small gaiter on the collar is great! And the comfort is excellent with zero blisters, even without having spent hours in them before the 10-hour race."
