Tom Evans Signs with ASICS Trail Team
ASICS is excited to announce that British ultramarathon sensation Tom Evans has officially joined the ASICS Trail Team. Sharing a mutual belief in the transformative power of sports for both body and mind, Tom is set to represent ASICS on the global trail-running stage, bringing his passion, determination, and expertise to the brand.
Tom Evans, born in 1992 and a former British Army Captain, burst onto the international scene in 2017 with a stunning third-place finish at the 251km Marathon des Sables in the Moroccan Sahara. Remarkably, this achievement came after entering the race on a friendly bet—a performance that marked the best-ever finish by a European in the event’s history.
Since then, Tom has built an impressive career defined by perseverance and a relentless drive to push limits. His resume boasts standout victories and podium finishes at world-renowned trail events, including the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) and the Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix (CCC). His grit, discipline, and resilience have cemented his status as one of the sport’s top competitors.
Tom Evans on Joining ASICS: “I’m thrilled to be joining the ASICS Trail Team,” said Evans. “ASICS’ commitment to innovation and athlete support is unmatched, and their values deeply resonate with me. Trail running isn’t just about chasing personal bests—it’s about being present, embracing the freedom of running in nature, and connecting with a vibrant community. Together with ASICS, I hope to continue growing as an athlete and inspire others to discover the joy and fulfillment that trail running brings.”
ASICS’ Vision for the Partnership: Santiago Martinez Ric, Head of Sports Marketing at ASICS Europe, shared his excitement: “At ASICS, we believe in the power of sport to uplift and unite. Partnering with athletes like Tom, who embody our values of dedication, resilience, and a deep love for the sport, is at the core of our philosophy. Tom’s extraordinary talent and ability to connect with the trail-running community make him a perfect fit for the ASICS Trail Team. We’re excited to support him on this journey and to see the inspiration he will bring to the trail-running world.”
ASICS will support Tom as he continues to push boundaries and compete at the highest level. His first race as part of the ASICS Trail Team will take place at the end of January, kicking off what promises to be an exciting new chapter for both Tom and the brand.
