Run The Distance.
The experience beckons from afar. Distance is a mere concept that transports you to a place you yearn to discover. But this place cannot be found on a map or reached by finishing a race; it exists in the space between, where something profound awaits. The Black Diamond Distance Collection is designed to guide you there. Whether it’s changing up your workout routine, reigniting your love for running, exploring breathtaking mountain trails, or simply enjoying yourself, trail running offers endless possibilities.
And when it comes to gear and apparel, the ultimate destination is outdoor equipment specialist, Black Diamond. Unlike traditional road running and training, trail running requires specific equipment, which is why we have put together a beginner’s kit from Black Diamond to help you hit the trails with ease and excitement!

About Black Diamond Equipment
Black Diamond Equipment’s roots lie in the hand-forged climbing hardware of Yvon Chouinard, who started selling his gear from the trunk of his car in Yosemite Valley in 1957. Chouinard’s visionary equipment revolutionized the climbing world by raising performance standards while also leading the sport to new and sustainable ethics. You can now find Black Diamond at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they are immersed in their passion for the outdoors: climbing, skiing and mountain pursuits.
What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has now grown into a global company with offices on three continents. Black Diamond is a company that’s not just for rock climbers and skiers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports they live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, Black Diamond’s innovative gear designs have set the standard in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It’s also a product of the fact that each of them are climbers and skiers themselves.
