Presentation of the Inverse 2025 Trail Running Team at the foot of the Montseny mountains.
The official presentation of the Inverse Trail Running Team 2025 took place at the Els Terrissos Vermells hiking area in Aiguafreda, located between the bluffs of the Cingles de Berti and the iconic Montseny Natural Park, on 1 February.
The presentation and the first photo shoot of its members marked the beginning of a new season for a team that has been a cornerstone in INVERSE‘s sports and innovation strategy for 11 years, as it has consolidated its position as Europe’s leading brand in custom trail running wear.
A Strategic Team for INVERSE
The Inverse Trail Running Team has acted as an R&D laboratory for INVERSE since its inception. Working closely with the athletes has enabled us to develop and perfect a wide range of custom garments, adapted to meet the demands of trail running. This synergy has been crucial in positioning INVERSE as a leader in the European market of custom trail running sportswear.

A spectacular design for the Inverse Trail Running Team 2025 outfit
The team will be wearing the same design as the outfit for the 2024 season. This original look makes the team members instantly recognisable at the numerous events and races in which they take part. The eye-catching and innovative combination of colours has been designed to provide enhanced visibility in the mountains: its vibrant orange tone is blended with an appealing fluorescent blue.
The team’s outfits have been customised based on Inverse’s ULTRA and EXTREM ranges of custom trail running apparel. These lines are high performance technical wear that meet all the trail runner’s needs, and include a wide range of garments: tops with and without sleeves, hooded waterproof jackets, long and short trousers, trail skirts and short-sleeved suits.
The EXTREM range, in particular, uses state-of-the-art fabrics designed for competing in conditions of extreme heat, providing maximum comfort and performance in any mountain event, from the vertical kilometre to long distance races.
Commitment to Excellence
The combination of promising young talent and experienced athletes reinforces INVERSE’s commitment to sporting excellence and innovation in trail running. This team not only represents the brand’s values, but also makes an active contribution to the development of custom trail running wear that meets the real needs of runners and their teams.
