The multi-time champion and Western States 100
board member will be Goldwin's first US athlete
SAN
FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dylan Bowman, Red
Bull athlete and multi-time ultra trail running champion,
has entered a partnership with Japanese outdoor apparel brand,
Goldwin. Bowman is Goldwin's first US athlete and will help to grow
Goldwin's running apparel line in the US.
In his twelve years as a professional trail running athlete,
Bowman has secured wins globally, notably at Ultra Trail Mount Fuji
and Tarawera Ultra Trail, and has podiumed at Western States 100.
Tomorrow Bowman will begin the Salomon Ultra Pirineu 100k in Spain.
In addition to racing, Bowman has made a successful career in
the run industry. In 2020 he founded Freetrail, a media and events
company focused on bringing the sport of trail running to the next
generation. Bowman hosts the Freetrail podcast, where he interviews
a wide cohort of guests, covering trail and ultrarunning, sports,
business, and the outdoor industry.
"At this point in my career I'm inspired to forge deeper
partnerships that go further than traditional athlete
sponsorships," said Bowman. "I'm inspired to help Goldwin build on
its reputation and tradition as an iconic outdoor brand, bridging
into the trail running market - the fastest growing outdoor sport
and the community I love deeply."
Bowman's involvement will help bring attention to Goldwin's
premium run and athletic wear lines. Bowman first met with Goldwin
when he traveled to Japan for the
Ultra Trail Mount Fuji in 2016 and was struck by their products and
vision. In addition to using his platform to increase awareness
about Goldwin throughout the run community, Bowman has already
begun working on a trail running apparel line in collaboration with
the brand.
"It is Goldwin's mission to inspire a deep respect for nature
and all it provides to us," said Takuya Kinami, General Manager of
Goldwin. "Dylan's impressive career in trail running and his
passion for connecting and growing the community is well aligned
with Goldwin ideals. We are proud to support Dylan in his training
and racing ventures, and look forward to his unique ability to grow
Goldwin in the run space."
