Transgrancanaria Classic 2026 Race Kit

Race TGC 2026

Henriette Albon’s race kit for her winning run at the 2026 Transgrancanaria Classic. She started in La Sportiva Prodigio Pros bought at the expo the day before (half size too small) for the wet, rocky first half, then changed shoes and socks at Artenara for the drier second half. She had considered several other options: On Cloudultra Pro (too risky for wet), a Nike ultra/ACG shoe (didn’t like the feel), VJ shoes (no sizes at expo), and Salomon Genesis (too thin, bad grip on wet rock).
