footwear partnerTARKINE ATHLETICS
Sustainable Running Shoes & ApparelTarkine is the only running shoe company that calls Australia home. Started in Fremantle by runners fed up with an industry run by overseas giants, the idea was simple and slightly mad: build a shoe good enough to beat the big brands, out of materials that don't cost the planet — then prove it on the results sheet.
It worked. More than fifty of Australia's top trail runners now race in Tarkine, and its athletes have taken backyard ultra wins on the world stage — the kind of adoption you earn, not buy. The shoes are made to last well past the point an ordinary trainer gives out, which for an event measured in laps that don't stop is the whole point.
Run wild, tread light — 1% of every sale goes to protecting the takayna / Tarkine Rainforest the brand is named for.
As Official Footwear Partner, Tarkine is backing every runner on the Furnace start line. Registered entrants get 35% off with the partner code: FurnaceBYU35.
