Presentation of the 2026 Inverse Trail Running Team and its new outfit in the Garraf Natural Park

While the Montseny mountain range was the setting last year, Inverse chose the unique environment of the Garraf Natural Park near the city of Barcelona for 2026. Its arid landscape, exposed ridges and technical descents were used to test the new features in this year’s range of custom outfits for trail running teams, which the team will wear in the 2026 season.

The light of the Mediterranean and the tough environment provided the backdrop for the team’s photo shoots, highlighting how the design of the technical apparel is not only a response to professional and aesthetic considerations, but also linked to extreme functionality in changing climates.

The Inverse Trail Running Team is consolidating its position as one of the most powerful teams on the Spanish and international trail running scene. With a mixture of veterans and emerging talent, here are the names and achievements that will define the team this season:

The print on the new outfits’ design is based on the landscape in motion: the deep-seated experience of running in the mountains when the environment around you ceases to be scenery, and becomes a sensation. It does not aim to capture anywhere in particular, but instead highlights the essence of trail running: constant adaptation, complete freedom and a deep connection with nature. It is the reflection of the permanent contrast between perseverance and enjoyment, between tension and fluidity.

The colours overlap like layers of terrain when the runner is in full flight: light, shade and effort come together to create an image that is felt and not simply seen. Warm and cool tones engage in a dialogue to express the energy of the body in motion and the wild calm of the environment – the unique balance that only appears when you run in the mountains.

Its scattered organic forms evoke the splintered vision of the race: accelerated pulse rates, heavy breathing, and the landscape melting away with each stride. There are no rigid lines or clearly defined boundaries, just like in trail running, where the path is never straight, never predictable and presence of mind is always necessary.

The new design of the outfit has gone down very well with each member of the 2026 Inverse Trail Running Team.

1. ULTRA shorts for women. Developed specifically for trail running, combining a lightweight and a fabric highly resistant to chafing, perfect for both demanding training sessions and competitions in the mountains. Their ergonomic design with openings at the side ensures complete freedom of movement in even the most demanding terrain. Inside, the shorts have a breathable technical mesh made of Think fabric, for enhanced ventilation and comfort during exertion. They also feature two extra elastic pockets for carrying essential items, and an elastic finish with silicone to ensure a snug fit.
2. VELOCE top for women. A lightweight and highly breathable top, available exclusively from Inverse, designed to offer high levels of support even during high impact activities such as athletics or trail running. It is made with two lightweight and breathable technical fabrics, which guarantee comfort and performance. The back features perforated AIR fabric, so that sweat is wicked away under the most demanding conditions. It has a front inner lining for extra support and comfort, and is finished off with an elastic foam trim to prevent chafing. The ultra-soft elastic waistband adjusts perfectly to the body, always keeping the top in place without compromising on comfort.
3. PRO RIDER socks. Designed to offer the maximum performance, in both competition and high intensity training. These socks are lightweight, highly breathable and aerodynamic, thanks to the leg made with AEREO ribbed fabric, which fosters air circulation and wicks away sweat efficiently. The leg fits snugly with an inner grip made of hypoallergenic silicone, ensuring a perfect fit even under the most demanding conditions. The foot is made with Vaporfeel® yarns, a lightweight technical material highly resistant to chafing, which helps regulate the temperature, dries quickly and ensures a feeling of lasting comfort.
