This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.
This is NOT a gear blog, but I’m making a bit of an exception here for NNormal (probably because I’m such a Kilian Stan…).
The Tomir family includes three different shoe models, with different colours in each model. First, there’s the standard-cut trail running and outdoor activity shoe, made for just about everything. Then there’s the same cut of shoe but waterproof, made with a highly breathable Sympatex® membrane that’s as planet-friendly as it is high-performing. Finally, there’s the higher ankle-cut boot version, made for extra support while hiking, that’s also waterproof.
With every new product announcement NNormal is planting a flag into the ground announcing their intentions. This shoe, or family of shoes expands their line from their first announcement of the ‘Kjerag’ the high performance trail running shoes to a this shoe more meant as an everyday running and hiking shoe.
Kilian Jornet:
Tomir is this almost impossible mix of best-in-class technologies and materials, and forget-you’re-wearing-them comfort.
For one, the ‘Tomir’ looks cool. Certainly cooler than the first images of their ‘Kjerag’.
