There’s no better way to understand footwear than by putting it to the test in real conditions, alongside the people who use it most.
KEEN teamed up with Rab for a community-led 10km trail run, bringing together outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, and trail runners for a morning dedicated to movement, connection, and hands-on product testing.
The event wasn't about chasing personal bests—it was about experiencing gear the way it was designed to be used: on the trail.
Putting the KEEN SEEK to the Test
Participants laced up in the KEEN SEEK, our performance trail running shoe built for confidence across changing terrain. Throughout the 10km route, runners experienced its responsive cushioning, reliable grip, and stable ride while tackling a variety of trail conditions.
From technical sections to flowing single tracks, the SEEK delivered the comfort and traction needed to keep runners focused on the journey ahead.
More importantly, the run gave participants the opportunity to share genuine feedback from real trail conditions—helping us continue to learn from the community that inspires every step forward.
Powered by Community
One of the highlights of the morning was the people.
From seasoned trail runners to those exploring trail running for the first time, the event created an inclusive space where everyone could learn, share experiences, and encourage one another. Conversations flowed naturally before, during, and after the run, reinforcing the idea that the outdoor community is strongest when people come together.
Having local athletes join the session added another layer of inspiration, with participants benefiting from their tips, experiences, and passion for the trails.
