Tom Evans joins ASICS Trail Team

Moving minds together: ASICS welcomes Tom Evans, one of the world’s top trail running athletes, to its growing team of elite athletes. 

[23 January 2025 – Hoofddorp, The Netherlands] – ASICS is proud to announce the signing of British ultramarathon runner Tom Evans. United by the belief in the power of sports on body and mind, Tom will now represent ASICS on the trail circuit, bringing his dedication, energy, and expertise to the brand. 

Tom Evans (1992), a former British Army Captain, first gained international recognition in 2017 when he secured third place in a 251km desert ultramarathon in Southern Morrocan Sahara. Despite entering the race on a bet with a friend, his remarkable performance marked the highest finish by any European in the event’s history. 

Eight years later, Tom has become a seasoned competitor with a record of pushing boundaries and notable victories under his belt, including top finishes at prestigious events such as the UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) and the CCC (Courmayeur-Champex-Chamonix). His perseverance, discipline and the ability to overcome adversity have helped him build an incredible career on the trails.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the ASICS Trail Team,” says Tom Evans. “ASICS’ approach to product development and the support they provide for their athletes is unmatched. Their caring brand ethos shines through everything they do, which deeply resonates with me. Because as much I like to push myself and set ambitious goals, trail running is about so much more than chasing new PBs. It’s about being truly present in the moment, the exhilarating freedom of running in nature, and the community around it. Together with the ASICS Trail Team, I want to continue my journey in the sport I love and inspire others to get a taste of this incredible experience that only trail running has to offer.” 

Santiago Martinez Ric, Head of Sports Marketing at ASICS Europe, adds: “At ASICS, we’ve always believed in the power of sport to unite people and lift spirits. It’s our ambition to partner with athletes who share our values and philosophy. Because when you become an ASICS athlete, you join a team that is working together to perform well and bring about positive change. Tom is an extraordinary talent who embodies the characteristics we cherish: dedication, resilience, and a love for the sport that goes beyond individual achievements. Tom’s passion for trail running and his ability to connect with the community will inspire many, and we’re excited to see what he will accomplish as part of our team.” 

ASICS will be supporting Tom in all his future endeavors on the trails. His first race as part of the ASICS Trail Team will be at the end of January.
