On March, Jo Lodder completed the incredible challenge 5 Trails in 5 Days, simply “5in5”, running the new Tinworth Trail, Wilson Trail, MacLehose Trail and Lantau Trail in 5 consecutive days.


Before Joe started his challenge, we asked him the favor to try out the very first pair of MTN Racer 3 in Hong Kong. Since Joe has been a big fan of Topo shoes, he fell in love with the new MTN 3 immediately and used it for his challenge!


Here are the feedbacks from Jo on MTN Racer 3 after running with them for more than 100K during 5in5:
1. Like other Topo shoes he had tried before, MTN 3 fits so well with great lock system and hold your foot well.
2. Never had a blister with Topo’s iconic roomy toe box.
3. The shoes provide strong protection, the stable platform and heel counter help avoiding injury on ankle.
4. The cushion is so comfortable, your foot still feels fresh even for an endurance challenge like 5in5.
5. The grips are great on technical terrains like and even wet surfaces.


For 5in5 Jo mainly used MTN Racer 3 and Ultraventure Pro. During halfway through the challenge, he was so exhausted and had to stop awhile. At that moment, Jo even worried he could not complete the 5-days run.


But once he changed back to his MTN Racer 3, he felt alive again and finished strong!
