Trans Gran Canaria Marathon Race Test: The North Face Summit Vectiv Pro 3.0 vs 48km

The North Face Summit Vectiv Pro 3.0 is a top-tier carbon trail shoe built for taming mixed terrain with the cushion to tackle long-haul off-road adventures. It uses a dual plate system that's been tweaked to prevent the discomfort some runners had from the wings in the last edition. There's a big stack of PEBA-blend Dream foam with an extra 1.5mm over the previous generation, a pronounced rocker, seamless uppers and a one-piece Surface CTRL outsole with 3.5mm lugs. Run Tester, Kieran, headed to Gran Canaria to take on the Trans Gran Canaria Marathon to find out if those updates stack up to a winning trail shoe. Hit play to find out.
