La Sportiva Mountain Running® Team Expands, Poised for World Running Supremacy

La Sportiva is adding 13 new members to the ranks of its Mountain Running® team, thus supplying strength and fresh legs to its arsenal of ultrarunners. Building on a banner year of top finishes in 2007, the team will look to further its efforts in 2008 with record-setting race performance. The expanded Mountain Running® team will also be better equipped to battle copyright infringement of its team name, and continue its domination of the sport in general.

With new members the likes of USA Track & Field Ultrarunner of the Year for 2006 Karl Meltzer, Anna Pichrtova, who is likely the most recognized female mountain runner ever, and Leadville 100 phenom Tony Krupicka, the new team is truly poised for running rule.
