The Joma TR-7 with the new Joma GRIP compound, protagonists of the race
In a mountain race such as Transvulcania, footwear is a key factor for competing with safety and efficiency. Ikram Rharsalla tackled the Marathon with the Joma TR-7, trail running shoes designed to perform on demanding trail terrain and equipped with the new Joma GRIP compound.
This new compound from the brand is designed to improve grip and traction on uneven surfaces, providing stability on climbs, descents and technical sections. Its presence in a victory with a course record reinforces Joma’s evolution in the development of product specifically designed for trail running.
Rharsalla’s performance in La Palma also represents a competitive validation for the TR-7 on a top-level stage, where every detail influences the final performance.
